I have an old (of course) IBM/Lenovo X60 with a similar issue. Once it gets to 80 or 90C, the CPU goes into thermal runaway, emits a "exceeded 128C" syslog error and autoshuts down. I tried replacing the CPU paste, with little effect. So now it has: $ cat /etc/sysctl.conf hw.setperf=1 and the cpu runs at 1GHz instead of 1.6GHz and seems to stay cool even when working the CPU and graphics hard. John
