Indeed it comes from these inductors, at least the high-pitch sound. Screechy sound comes from.. around somewhere the CPU, possibly the inductors. That will remain a mystery. There's not really much I've discovered. I decided to turn CPU power management off, the noise is just too annoying. I will l...

This is my fan: http://oi39.tinypic.com/2uqopc1.jpg I don't know its FRU or P/N. As you can clearly see, it's T61 fan for motherboard with Intel graphics. It cannot be the source of that sound, as it doesn't appear at boot, and fan doesn't even start up until I get some CPU-intensive application. Fa...

Today I assembled my modified noT60p with the cheapest Merom processor I could find, T7100 for 5$ with shipping. Is the sound gone? No. Maybe it's a little different, I don't know, but what I know for certain that is is still there, coming right from under the radiator in the CPU section. Thermal se...

No, this is not an OS problem. That has absolutely nothing to do with any operating system in existence to my knowledge. This has something to do with how Thinkpad handles the powersaving features of the CPU, and I have no idea why this screeching sound is present. Manipulating the C3/C4 powerstates...

The screechy noise doesn't come from the fan. It is still there when the fan is off. My T61 fan is definitely for the motherboard, it fits well and works well, except the that quiet high-pitch noise I mentioned earlier. Screechy noise comes from the area near the CPU, and it is only present when on ...

I bought T61 mobo (FRU 42W7648) along with a heatstink and cardcage. Everything works fine, I cut the frame, but apparently I must have done something a little wrong as the keyboard was very hard to fit inside, but it fits. I'll probably need to cut the frame some time again later. It's very cool ru...

I remember reading somewhere that GMA950 did support QXGA screen, and I just made myself sure. http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/ 2048x1536 at 75 Hz maximum resolution It's integrated into the 945GM chipset, which: EDIT: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/309219.pdf LVDS Interface...

Hi, I become sick of my T60p, its loudness and temperatures. I spend whole day trying to silence the high-pitch sound coming from the fan, to lower the tempratures by bending heat pipes and using thermal grease(what kind of idiot at lenovo/IBM thought it would be a good idea to apply thermal pads? E...
