T 14 gen2 and Ultra Dock type 40AJ

I’m having a problem getting video from the HDMI port on the dock to my Samsung M7 32” monitor. I have tried several different cables to no avail. It works if I use the port on the TP instead of the dock but then I only get HD res not UHD. I believe there is a known problem with USB-3 in this setup ...

Re: TPFC

Thanks Screamer I really appreciate the detailed reply. I don't think I will even bother with Speedfan then, because the M73 tiny is designed to handle up to an i7 processor.

TPFC

HI can anyone tell me if the Thinkpad fan control software would work on a Thinkcentre M73 (tiny). It's not that it's running hot or anything, just that I want to upgrade the cpu then it could be useful.

Thank you for your replies guys. Now I'm in a real quandary as to what to do. @wujstefan the screen is actually very very good, just very difficult to photograph with an old iPhone.

T60p Query

Hello all, I have a T60p that I want to sell (it's the one in my sig) and I have absolutely no idea of the value of it. Prices vary so much on eBay that I can't get a decent feel. So I thought I would ask the people who know. It really is in excellent condition, the best I have seen in a very long t...

The .8mm copper shim was a tad on the thick side, if I did it again I'd look for a .5 or .6 mm shim. Pleased with the results overall though.
Did you leave the thermal pad in there as well?

T60p High Temps

I have a T60p (the one in my sig) I use TPFC and recently I noticed that my temps at idle were running quite high. CPU 80c and GPU 86c. So I did the obvious, cleaned out the fan and it helped a little but not a lot. The laptop then started to run quite slowly (not sure but I think it started after a...

Re: T60 Won't work in dock since I switched to SSD

Well it's taken a bit longer than I would have liked, but I'm up and running again and able to boot on the dock. However I am unable to run in ACPI mode. It's strange because when I loaded Win 7 the bios was set to ACPI mode but when finished it would not start unil I put it into compatibility mode....

Thank you for your reply. I will try reloading the dock driver tomorrow. It should be there though as I did a disk copy of my previous drive. But I suppose anything can get screwed up.

Re: Dual Monitors on T60p

So it looks like I can't use the DVI port with these monitors. Thanks for the reply by the way.
Do you think a VGA 'Y' splitter would give me all the functionality of dual monitors, or will it just be the same image on both screens?
