    My t61 seems very hot. Right now its cpu is at 208 F, typically its around 150-170. The fans are up all the way to 7 using tpfancontrol.

    Hello,

    try to clean out your vents. When it doesn´t work, it might helpfull to renew
    the thermal compound of your heatsink.

    Or just send it in to Lenovo. when heatsinks are free from dust and your
    warranty is active.

    greets
