You will have to query it directly from the HDD over the SATA bus.  At
most you'd have an EC thermal sensor *close* to the HDD bay.

ThinkPads are not made to operate silently unless the ambient temperature is
quite cold, and you do not have a ThinkPad engineered for low thermal output
in the first place.

You should try to get a X61s, lock it to its lowest performance modes, and
switch the HDD for a low-thermal-output SSD.  And get your studio's
temperature to be at most 20°C :)
