My T60 fan was on the noisy side so I opened unit and removed and cleaned fan, not dirty, and oiled up the shaft, also redid the thermal paste. Unit is so quite now (expected) but also very cool running (unexpected) compared to before. When system is sleeping the fan barely runs if at all.

Do you run TPFC?

I've set temps to run between 62 and 50. Seems ok, although I worry if that's too much of a thermal gradient to be cycling it between.
