Lenovo G560 problem with fans

[yanxn]

Hello,

Recently i have noticed, that my laptop is more noisy or rather that the fans aro on more often. The fans are on even if I work ordinarily with my laptop (surfing the web in one tab without flash and so on). Using EVEREST home edition I found out, that the temperature of the cores of the CPU is betwean 40°C - 50°C, GPU mostly doesn't go under 50°C and harddisk is about 45°C. Are these temperatures OK, or are they too high? In addition, my notebook is about 3 weeks old, so I supose the ventilation system can't be clogged with dust yet. And I have another question. Is it possible to get the service manual of this laptop somewhere? Thanks for answers.

In my opinion, those temperatures are OK.

Hello,

I've got an annoying problem with my Lenovo G560 - as soon as I turn my laptop on, the fan starts up and never stops. No matter if it's completely idle (CPU usage around 5-10%) or if it posts - the fan is always running. The temps are also fine. The laptop is almost brand new, I've got it only for a few days and the problem is present from first startup. I've tried to check BIOS (latest one from Lenovo support site)/Energy Management (5.4.0.8) settings - there's nothing about fan control. Is there any way to change fan's speed manually? Or maybe there's another way to solve this problem?

Thanks for help,

That isn't normal. Call customer service ASAP!

The fans are just running, running, running.. Same problem with other/older models. Lenvov will say there is nothing wrong with it. Get used to the noise and forget about using this machine in anywhere that is quiet. (like a library).

I have a G560 and I NEVER HAD A FAN PROBLEM.

And how long had you used the notebook before the fans problem occured? 

[IPnaSh Guru]

3 months.

And never a problem. If you think that's a hardware problem, call customer service.

Same here... Especially after wake up the fans never stop. I was hoping the 2.08 bios version would fix the problem. I sent my G560 to Lenovo, they switched the logicboard, ran the tests (which are, according to them, all ok), but the fan issue persists.
