motherboard temp reading high with speccy windows 10

The motherboard had the following number under the memory - 11S42X6844ZVF1AA7CR18F. Today I opened it fully up and cleaned out all of the dust and cat hairs, or at least 99% of it.

So the unit will typically run around 60c with the lid open but upwards of low 80s C with the lid closed. A significant amount of heat is trapped inside the unit when the lid is closed and pushes the temps up by at least 20 degrees C. First I found that the unit hates to run with the lid closed. Than a T500 fan quit.Īfter all of that I now feel a little more comfortable opening up these thinkpads.

This project was posted here in the W500 forum. Then I had two W500 computers that were merged into one good computer. I took the time to put a 1600x900 lcd into it which was a step up. Something heavy fell on the lid and while the bezels were fine the old lcd developed a vertical white band a little over an inch wide. The SO's T510 had to have its LCD replaced. Sorry for the long delay but I had three other thinkpad projects crop up since I started this thread.
