Yeah that's perfect. I run at 57-67 but I keep my fan off below 75. And
under normal use I never get above that.

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

What would be a limit to look for on cpu temperature?
In my case, I have a t61p 2.5ghz.

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,

Hello,
My T60, lastly, is too hot.
Having the KDE, load average 0.4 (downloading some things to external
USB) the temperature is always 69ºC or 70ºC.
Fan is mainly on all the time.
Some information:
carles@pinux:~$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan status: enabled
speed: 3255
level: auto
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged,
full-speed)
commands: enable, disable
commands: watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> 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

I searched in Internet and I think that the temperature should be a bit
lower than 70ºC 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 100ºC (!!)
I bought this computer on August 2006, I've never updated the BIOS.
Thank you,
