I don't get a say in this.  The EC raises the alarm, so it is Lenovo who
decided the threshold.

Personally, I don't let anything go past 70°C in my T43, which is below the
thresholds of the EC even for fan level 7.

Yeah, it is crap.  But it is crap for some reasons, not all of them stupid.

The T60 doesn't have a rollcage in the bottom.  You need to be really
careful of flexing the planar when you attach the GPU directly to the
heatsink.
