What temperatures does your Thinkpad run at? Thresholds?

[Torque]

Hi Thinkpad forums.

Using the TP fan utility, I've gotten rid of the fan noise. However, I only use it when doing low CPU load work.

The summer in Denmark is currently very hot. Temperatures outside varry between 28 and 32 degress, making my T43 hotter. So I raised the bar a little.

Currently my temperature thresholds look like this:
Level=52 0
Level=56 3
Level=58 4
Level=65 7
Level=70 128

I've set them this way, because the system (when doing low CPU load stuff) rarely gets hotter than 53 degrees. So basically, the fan is always off - with a few exceptions.

When running @BIOS the idle temperature is about 47 degrees. Some 17 degrees above room temperature, which is fair enough.
But now it runs constantly at around 52-53 degrees.
Will this harm the machine in any way?
I'm asking because I'm thinking that maybe IBM has a valid reason for cranking up the fan on the T43's.

NOTE: The by far hottest component is the PCI WLAN card. The CPU is generally around 6 degrees cooler. Which actually amazes me abit.

If anyone would like to recommend setting or just post their hardware and temps, please do so here

I can't hear the fan on my T42.. my T40 was a bit louder and audible.

I don't use the Fan control anymore.. I can't hear the fan compared to my T40. But it idles around 44C for me, under load maybe 50 ish, under gaming, 59?
