It would be nice to know what "overheating very much" means (i.e. the output of
the thermal sensors), after all, that's highly subjective. For example, I
certainly like to keep my T43 a lot cooler than the firmware would make it if
left to its own devices, so I run it at fan level 7 any time I am going to go
hard on the CPU or GPU for more than 10 minutes.
Anyway, in my experience, any IBM thinkpad that overheats (as in exceeds the
hardware safety margins) when at full number-crunching mode typically is either
suffering a hardware problem, or operating at a _very_ hot place (above 35°C).
Note that the hardware can, and will, operate at temperatures that are quite
uncomfortable for your lap.
If it is a hardware problem, the two most common ones are: the fan is not being
able to blow enough air (due to dust), or the thermal interface between the
thermal sink assembly and the CPU and/or the GPU has cracked. Both are easy to
fix.
