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.

<pre wrap="">What is a good idle temperature ? 49? 50?
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 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,

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,
