I don't if anybody else got same problem with me .

I got a T60 2623-D7U with ATI 1400. It comes with T2500 processor.

I upgraded to T7200 and I noticed that the temperture is pretty high -- After undervoltingthe processor to 1.025V, under 50% load (2.0Ghz), the temperture around 72 degree C. Under regular voltage, it can reach 98 to 99 Degree C at full load. Yes, I used the Arctic Silver 5 compound.

By look at the sevice parts below:

There is another link which showed the Thermal Device and Fan just like mine:
http://www.os2world.com/cgi-bin/forum/U ... 1&TID=1624

I found out:
1. for my 2623-D7U, the thermal device is 41V9932 (Discrete)
2. for 2613-CTO which is using ATI 1400 and T7200, that FRU is 41V9931 and 41W6406 (Both Integrated)

Are they same ?
Is there any improvement by the new FRU#?
Can I just order one to replace my original ?
Will the new one work better ?

Also, what's the different betwen those ?

Maybe you should explain them the overheating problem and ask them if you could get the new FRU. I find it weird that after using AS5 didn't help to much. Did you apply a thin layer on the compound after cleaning throughly the CPU core and the heatsink area with high purity alcohol (I use ArctiClean Remover 1 & 2 with great results)
