There is no point in reading data faster than the EC produces it, but yes.

We shall see what I end up with when I start walking down that road :) I have found the (fixed) EC firmware to be good enough and non-annoying enough that I don't care much for tp-fancontrol. Add some Artic Silver 5 to replace the medium-quality crap Lenovo uses, and you get a silent enough T43 (I didn't do it yet, though). > Functionally, it seems easier to port tp-fancontrol to mlockall()ed > userspace C (or maybe Perl, if mlockall()ing it isn't too expensive).
