Anyone have Pics of the T61(p) 14.1 heatsink?

Considering the 14.1 or 4:3 ratio T61s look a lot like T60s I'm wondering if they changed the heatsink or fan. It would be nice to be able to stuff either the fan or whole heatsink in to a T60 considering the new fan design and the higher TDP of the nvidia card.

I have a 4:3 T61 (8889) with an Nvidia 140M card (the 570M was an option) and it runs waaaay cooler than my old T43. It has the same corner fan outlet design as the widescreen models and I barely hear the fan running so I think it probably has the new heatsink and fan setup as the widescreens.

he wants to know if it is possible to use T61 fan on T60 system, and I also want to know. lol

oops, sorry. Misread.

Physically the fan and heatsink of T61 looks different in some aspects than that of T60 so I am not sure if you would be able to swap it out.

I agree. I already search about this. I found some picts : http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

Holy cow! I have my 15.4" T61p apart in front of me, and its updated cooler looks like it will swap over to the T60 for a perfect fit! Same size, same bolt holes, etc.

GPU temps on the T61p are about 20C lower at idle than my T60, under load they are closer to 30-40C lower. Biggest change I spotted off the bat is it uses the keyboard as a thermal transfer point, and the heatsink above the GPU is bent at one section, allowing it to meet both northbridge and GPU with copper, instead of a thermal pad like the old T60 design.

But having fixation holes at the same place is not enough. What about height ? Does the FireGL have the same height then Quadro ? And what about i965 et i945 ? Is the fan plug the same ?
