Oh yeah I was FINALLY able to reel in the thinkpad's cooling issues last night!!!! At first I didn't believe it because it was still as loud as ever, but checking the temps confirmed it! Hovering around 60°c rather than before where it was idling at 80°c with nothing open! :D

Also whoever decided to make the windows power options Like That? Curse of mega diarrhoea. Why is there THREE separate options for power mode???? One in the slider in the battery taskbar icon, one in control panel's power settings, and one in the BIOS?????? And they all act independently of eachother. Like... Would it not be easier to have a general one and then options for fine tuning??? (like the one in control panel but with more options. Would be nice not to have to go into device manager for some of them. I FORGOT DEVICE MANAGER POWER OPTIONS (only sometimes lets you change it though!) THERE'S FOUR)

In conclusion:

#pooters #tetranymous.txt #I still have to check performance vs cooling balance and tune as needed but it desperately needed this #Especially since the temps only shot up while plugged in. On a laptop that eats through the whole battery in 45 minutes.#World's best cared for laptop. Vents cleaned monthly; cooling pad; recent repaste w the absolute best stuff I could find #Definitely nice knowing that it's not going to cook itself. Now I've gotta start looking for bigger ram and an extra drive #I ALSO found out why my vm's usb ports weren't working while I was rummaging through the BIOS which was a bonus #AND brought back the stats splash screen before startup (I like it!) wish there was a beep on startup option though #I only just realised lower power usage also means more battery... It might even last a whole hour! Mayhaps more (not confident)
