Thinkpads Forum

I recently pulled my P3 CPU out of my 600E to disable the speedstep,
My origanal fan had 2 thermal pads witch seemed to keep my 600E cooler,
mobilmeter shows 36 degree's on idle, and up to 60 degrees while running a DVD for long periode's of time, after replaceing the P3 with a tempoary celeron 500MHz 128kb L2 katche. I just put an easyer to install 600E fan it, my other fan belonged to a 600X witch i applied 2 thermal pads, with the celeron and normal fan, mobil meter shows 38 degrees idle and abut 80 degree's after running a DVD for long periodes of time.
I was thinking of applying artic silver too the top of the heat sink, and then applying a second heatsink on top of that.
I will be displaying my progress, let me know what you think.
thanks

forget it man. Where do you suppose the heat from heast sink will go? It will stay in the box and continue to heat up motherboard, which is the same bad thing to the lifespam of it:( I'd try to figure out how to extract heat from case, then heatsink expansion I think.

Well I diden't quite understand all of that, but as I said, I will apply a layer of artic silver on top of the long silver thing that sits on top the fan (heat sink) and then put another heat sink on top of that one, or mabey i can put the second heatsink on a different place???
I am sure it will stay cooler.

pcu will be cooler, but not the case. I think the main problem is high temp inside case (internal), not temp of cpu. try watching dvd on 600e and when temp reaches max stop playback and observe changes in temp. cpu will cool down quite fast, while case temp will remain high for quite a time.
