I just started to use my X60s for some gaming, I have installed Civilization IV and played a few hours, I noticed the CPU is getting very hot , so as the GPU, the CPU is around 70C and GPU is around 65 C, as reported by TPfancontrol. I would think it is a bit too high. If I use it for browsing etc the CPU settles at around 45C.
What is your temp reading for gaming etc ?
Thanks

Did not try gaming for a prolonged period, sorry. Did you have TPfancontrol active or have you been in bios mode? Probably you had suboptimal settings applied for heavy use.

you have the same opinion as of my mum
I do use TPfancontrol in smart mode, and it is on level 7 fan constantly while gaming . I wish I can make the fan spin faster, as even at level 7 the noise is very low.

I know on the T42, you can set the fan to level 64 and it will go even faster. However, I have heard that since this is not an "official" setting, you may risk damaging the fan.
