my T470p thinkfan config optimization

Owners know well that this one has heating problems (maybe due to placed single fan for dual graphics).

btw, I don't use normally nvidia graphics on arch linux or another linux distro, anyway, it's required to configure fan settings if you are linux user.

In my experience, also windows is not doing bad at optimizing fan temperature for this model. I have used different values in configuration for optimizing fan heat on different temperatures so far.

But this is my best thinkfan configuration i think, it really handles well now without heating so much.

Update configuration sudo vim /etc/thinkfan.conf
Then restart service sudo systemctl restart thinkfan.service
