Hi,
  first of all, sorry for my bad English :-).
  I have serious troubles with temperatures on my T60 (2007-F4G). When I 
did last week system update in Gentoo and went out. When I came back, 
the /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal says:
cpu 110 C
gpu 110 C
and my TP was as hot as a chicken on a grill. Yestereday, my TP had a 
hard lock, again it was too hot.

In all cases, fan was running at ~3800RPM. I never saw running it over 
4000RPM. I think, my TP is unable to cool down enough. What can I do? I 
cannot use all power of core duo, when I have to take care of 
temperature. It has normally temperatures over 90 C when one core is 
under load.

My core duo has 1.83GHz max. I cannot imagine, how can *p models with 
core duo at 2.13GHz cool down itself :-/. weird...


Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards,
