At this point, I'm not willing to buy any T43. I have heard only complaints
about the temperature, which is the most important thing for me. This is
really why I moved from Dell.

Try removing the cpu and sitting it back, then add more thermal (grease)? and
sit the copper heatsink as the best that you can, also make sure you put it
well  and hard back to the mobo.

I would also check if it's really a process that is making the CPU to spike
and make a BIOS update.
