I got my fan replacement for my ThinkPad T61p and the temperature is at max. 83°C with Windows and at max. 85°C with Linux 2.6.30.5, while using both cores and the Nvidia Quadro FX570M. Before the replacement the temperature was >= 97°C, before the cpu clocks down. As it is the second fan replacement, it can be an additional problem for some Thinkpad users.

With the 2.6.28-15-generic there is still a cpu downscaling even with the new fan. I have only seen the results and not the highest temperature, as I leaved my desk for a short time and I will not execute it again.

Perhaps someone can try the 2.6.30 or even 2.6.31 kernel?
