    Felt good about the heat of my T61.

    I spent all day today on configuring my 15.4'' T61 and installing software. There was so much I/O as you know. The temperature got high, but I felt it was warm at most, definately NOT hot as my Dell Inspiron 9300. Fan was quiet when running. Good sign.

    Have you tried running any stress tests on it? I was going to run a couple instances of toast on top of prime 95 to test it out. What kind of CPU temps do you get under heavy stress?

    I have been very impressed by heat with the T61 as well. It stays very quiet and does not get hot at all compared to some of the other notebooks I have around (even earlier centrino ones). I have not done any stressing yet but I do not really like that measure anyways as you almost never will put a full load on for hours on end like the stress tests do.

    Bleh. There is little data out there on T61 cpu temps under load. Please loop multiple videos or run prime95 sometime soon and report back. That's the only real way to know if T61 cooling is any better than the T60!

    My Pentium3 t21 is like a toaster on bottom. It wasn't that hot a year ago. Maybe it caught a fever or needs to be vacuumed.
