[ltp] T60p idle GPU temperature?

Thanks for the tip. Is this really a significant risk? I ask because 
firstly the machine is built like a tank, but also the heatsink applies 
pressure directly to planar via the CPU. Given that, I wouldn't have 
thought there's much to be gained by letting the GPU/heatsink joint flex 
slightly (especially as the northbridge/heatsink joint has only a very 
thin thermal pad).

Thanks - Richard
