Low idle, high stress temp on T60

Hello,
I have got some little problem with my new-bought T60 lately: when on idle, it seems nice with temps like 45C on CPU and 55C on GPU - X1300 - (fan off)
The problem appears when it comes to stress - 1 minute of stress test (Prime95) is enough for my T2500 to reach 100C and more. When I stop the test, fan can take out all the heat in a few seconds. What could it be? Some sort of mobo issue or what?

Sounds like the fan/heatsink is not seated properly. Remove it, clean off the old thermal paste and reapply some Arctic Silver 5.
