I have found out that i7 x201s has some strange problems with heat dissipation after heavy load test, like mprime. This is most likely not related to fan/heatsink beacause I have recently placed new one and it's same as before. The problem, in mprime for example:
idle = 45 celc / 10W
heavy load (mprime torture) = 65 celc / 25W
Sounds fair, but right after shutting down mprime fan didn't cool down CPU to idle temp/wattage instantly. Instead heat slowly dissipates at rate like 1-2 celcius/minute. Same with wattage. So after 5 minutes my cpu was 61 celc using 20W. Then another few minutes and it's at 58C/17W stuck.
Any ideas what could be causing it?

Re: [x201s] Heat dissipation after heavy load
Monitor the CPU % after stopping mprine, and check your power profile.
BTW what OS are you using?
