  • It normal cpu temperatures?

    From news@tin.it.no@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 25 10:41:48 2023
    Hi all

    It is normal that the temperature of the CPU of a Thinkpad T60
    is 61 degrees celsius, almost at rest?
    If not, what could be the problem?

    I attach a screenshot:

    It is acceptable for the cpu.
    Maybe check the fan and cooler.
    Also the thermal compound might be dried out - replace it.

    61 C is definitely within the accepatble operating range; my old Compaq
    laptop idles at about 50 C and CPUs generally have a maximum operating
    temp of 90 to 100 C.

    If you want it to run cooler, you can just take some compressed air to
    the vents.

    If you *really* want it to run cooler, follow Marco's advice and replace
    the thermal paste. Some Thermal Grizzly Cryonaut or something similar
    would most likely outperform old IBM/Lenovo thermal paste by a mile.
