My T480 runs hot and sometimes the fan is really loud. Occasionally upon boot it’ll give me “fan error.” Tried reapplying the thermal paste but that didn’t help much. It’s got plenty of storage, ram, and an i7 processor, so it’s not for lack of power that it’s doing this.

At this point I’m thinking of investing in a fan/heatsink upgrade, but what do y’all recommend I upgrade the fan/heatsink to?

Has anybody else expierenced the same issue?

    What are your temps? Have you done a bios update and a hard reset? A full cycle, not just shutdown.
