+<h2>Thinkpad X220 Fan control</h2>
+<h3>2025-03-21</h3>
+<h4>Blowing out the heat from my laptop</h4>
+<p>After installing thinkfan, <code>sudo pacman -S thinkfan</code>
+<p><code>journalctl -p 3 -xb</code> was showing an error concerning thinkfan, and I worked out that the thinkfan_acpi module wasn't being loaded on boot.</p>
+<p>Adding thinkpad_acpi to <code>/etc/modules-load.d/thinkpad.conf</code> didn't work</p>
+<p>What did work was editing <code>/etc/default/grub</code> and adding <code>thinkpad_acpi.fan_control=1</code> to <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT</code></p>
+<p>Then </p><p><code>sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg</code></p>
