I have a T61.
A good idle temp is 50.
I have my limit on the cpu set to 75, more than that the fan kixks in 
and it will not let it go over 100.

What would be a limit to look for on cpu temperature?

In my case, I have a t61p 2.5ghz.

thanks,

    <pre wrap="">Hello everybody,
 I have T60 too (model F4G-2007 with upgraded RAM and HDD). And I'm
suffering same temperatures as you do. In the beginning I have CPU
temperatures even higher, than you.
 I was several times in service. I have mainboard replaced 2 times, CPU
replaced 1 time and cooler replaced about 4-5 times. Only one think get
better: CPU. Its temperature went about 10 degrees down. But that was all .
 Under heavy load I had even 110 degrees on CPU and GPU when I was encoding
video using both cores.

Only two things get these temperatures a little bit lower:
1) open the notebook and blow away all the dust
2) bend a little metal coller that is pressing on GPU chip, so it press more

Hope it helps,

cheers

      <pre wrap="">Hello,

My T60, lastly, is too hot.

Having the KDE, load average 0.4 (downloading some things to external
USB) the temperature is always 69&ordm;C or 70&ordm;C.

Fan is mainly on all the time.

Some information:
carles@pinux:~$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan     status:         enabled
speed:          3255
level:          auto
commands:       level &lt;level&gt; (&lt;level&gt; is 0-7, auto, disengaged,
full-speed)
commands:       enable, disable
commands:       watchdog &lt;timeout&gt; (&lt;timeout&gt; is 0 (off), 1-120
(seconds))
carles@pinux:~$
carles@pinux:~$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal temperatures:   69 51 50 87 52
-128 47 -128 51 64 65 -128 -128 -128 -128
-128

GNU/Linux
carles@pinux:~$
(from Debian)

I searched in Internet and I think that the temperature should be a bit
lower than 70&ordm;C for an idle desktop.

I'm not monitoring everyday the temperature, but the fan is quite much
time on. Now I will also monitor the temperature.

A couple of times the Kernel has switched off the computer because it
reached 100&ordm;C (!!)

I bought this computer on August 2006, I've never updated the BIOS.

Thank you,
