It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim!

Average temperature running Prey with the stock Thinkpad 60: 95C.

Average temperature running Prey with the new fan and Arctic Silver on the interface: 60C.

Something was very wrong with this machine.

95c? That's impressive.

I mentioned the first time I played Prey (http://elfs.livejournal.com/888252.html) that not only did it routinely run hot, but once it ran so hot the kernel initiated an emergency ACPI shutdown due to overheat.

And, amusingly, it was a Star Trek joke in the subject then, too.
