And don't use just about any thermal paste, either.  You want Artic Silver
5, or something quite close to it.  Yes, it is expensive.  But anything
below "A-" quality will be worse than what Lenovo itself uses, and may cause
thermal damage to the thinkpad.

It must be a non-reactive (doesn't corrode metals), non-conductive very
high-performance thermal compound.  Just go with Artic Silver 5, it is
a perfect fit to the kind of thermal cycles you get out of older laptops
like the T4x, X6x, T6x and earlier.
