[ltp] too hot T60

[Chris Penn]

well, the two cores chills between 42 and 48, and ocassionally goes to 50C.=
.....
I was just kinda rounding up. Right now, the two temps are 42 and 47.......

Im running gnome, kernel 2.26.19, compiz, cairodock, rhythmbox, and
some basic desktop services.

my video card runs at about 54-55C (NVidia FX 570M). I definitely
thought that would be warmer.
