If I start compiling some stuff, or use BurnP6 to get the CPU over 65 degrees, the fan starts to behave right and goes into passive mode on cooldown. The notebook is an Asus M68Ne and has the latest bios installed. cat trip_points shows : critical (S5): 105 C passive: 100 C: tc1=2 tc2=10 tsp=100 devices=0xc14d5ea0 cat cooling_mode cooling mode: passive Any ideas ? Thanks Janosch
