Now i have a X60, X61s and a X61,

X60 and X61s gets very hot - very not nice to use. i don't know what todo.
is it worth buying a new fan or just throw the machines in the garbage?

have anyone done this and does it affect anything at all?

The X61 works great however the fan is very noisy

Read the forum, many posts about this!
Just replace the wifi-card with an Intel N6200/adapter combo.

If CPU temperatures are high, clean the fan and heatsink, then apply new thermal paste to the processor and northbridge chip.
You have to completely disassemble the laptop to gain access to the heatsink.

You can also undervolt the processor to lower power consumption and temperature.

If it's just the right palmrest that's hot, it's just the wifi card, which is a common complaint with the X60/61 series.
The usual fix is to replace it with a cooler-running wifi card. Most use the Intel 6200/6300.
You also need to flash a modified BIOS in order to use non-Lenovo wifi cards.
