Is your fan maybe running constantly after a few years of use? I have the same and am about to send the laptop in for repair (still on warranty) as I think something with the cooling is broken. Will check first for dust of course by removing the bottom plate.

I think I probably cracked it. Some appropriate ioctl calls to the driver seems to control the fan!

Ah, thanks. I was thinking maybe you were accessing the EC directly as there is an information message "found Toshiba embedded controller" when starting Hwinfo, but then I guess this is based on finding the device published by the TVALZ driver instead. I am starting to think my laptop doesn't...

I'm looking into trying to implement fan control for my Toshiba laptop. In Hwinfo I've seen that you display fan speed but don't control it (and that's fine). I'd just like to check if you learned any lessons while implementing the reading of fan speed that could be valuable when trying to...

You're right. Coretemp shows the same as hwinfo so it's two against one. I'll report to speedfan. I'm really sorry to have wasted your time :-(

Hi Martin, I realize that ambient temp will not last for long ;-) This is what I see and the way my reasoning goes: 1) I let the system cool down for several hours in sleep mode with hwinfo and speedfan already open. 2) When waking the system I get readings within a few seconds, and then...

Running the latest hwinfo64 on a Toshiba laptop equipped with an Intel i7-4500U cpu, it seems to consistently show cpu core temps that are roughly 15 degrees Celsius too high. The room has an ambient temp of 25 degrees, and on initial startup speedfan reports core temps of 25, while hwinfo...
