    I would also suggest if you are familiar with RMclock you can use that to undervolt the processor. Undervolting can lower your temps but you will need to findout what are the stable voltages for the different CPU multipliers.

    The TDP is only slightly higher. You should see if similar models are equipped with chips that have a TDP of 35W. If so, it shouldn't be a problem. I doubt a little bit more heat will cause any major problems.

    Exactly what Evolution said above. I guess to late but the 65nm TL-60 has the same 31w TDP as TL-50 so would not have issues, but if you want TL-64 or can't change, once you install run something like Prime 95 to see how it handles the heat. Then you will have a better idea problem or not.

    Did anyone of You guys changed thermal paste?

    Are the temperatures lower after that and how much?
    My fan drives me crazy.

    Cheers.
