I've noticed that my T61p runs a LOT cooler by default than the values
in this thread. As I type this, my CPU is at 38C with about 2-dozen
things running in the background (Evolution, Firefox w/20 tabs, etc.)
Firing up a kernel build results in the CPU topping out at 63C with it
set to 2.40Ghz. Not that hot at all, and I'm not running any undervolt
patches or anything of the kind.
