T61 cpu temperature

how did you get it to 2.95ghz?

 

Thanks jedisurfer, I didn't and I fixed that, 2.95Ghz was a typo, instead I meant 2.49GHz. That clock rate would be too hot for the system to handle anyway unless there was a more effective cooling method other than the stock heatsink.

 

my system t61p
Middleton bios t9300, 8gb, 500gb XT
rmclock at .95v on all speeds
rivatuner underclocked (I use the system for dev and testing so no need for graphics)
tpfancontrol at 7 all the time. I'm in the mid 40c, it gets to about 59c if I'm watching ESPN or other flash vids,

 

that is at idle with room temperature at 75 deg C and laptop lifted on 1" stands, open lid, with bunch of paper sheets sitting on the keyboard, using external monitor/keyboard/mouse, and laptop sitting at the corner of the room (so not much air circulation).

2D video is set at 100MHz GPU / 200MHz shaders / 100MHz memory
3D video is set at 600MHz GPU / 1200MHz shaders / 925MHz memory

- the GPU temp under TPFanControl is adjusted +3 deg to match various other temp monitoring programs;
- the CPU temp shown in ThrottleStop is incorrect due to the thermal sensing error when using Penryn chip in a Merom board, so the closest to real CPU temp would be the one shown in TPFanControl(CPU), but note that reading is not from the CPU itself but from a sensor that sits next to the CPU socket, so actual CPU core temps would probably be 1-3 deg off the reading.
