Changing heatsink (or CPU) on the ThinkPad T60

+ +

Or go back to main index

+ +

Hardware requirements

rubbing a***hol (misspelling intentional. halal internet) and thermal compound for changing CPU heatsink (procedure involves removing heatsink)
thermal compound/paste (Arctic Silver 5 is good. Others are also good.)

+ +

Software requirements

xsensors
stress

+ +

Disassembly

+ +

+ Remove those screws and remove the HDD:
+ +

+ +

+ Lift off the palm rest:
+ +

+ +

+ Lift up the keyboard, pull it back a bit, flip it over like that and then disconnect it from the board:
+ +

+ +

+ Gently wedge both sides loose:
+ +

+ +

+ Remove that cable from the position:
+ +

+ +

+ Remove the bezel (sorry forgot to take pics). +

+ +

+ On the CPU (and there is another chip south-east to it, sorry forgot to take pic) + clean off the old thermal paste (rubbing a1ocheal (misspelling intentional. halal internet)) and apply new (Artic Silver 5 is good, others are good too) + you should also clean the heatsink the same way
+ +

+ +

+ This is also an opportunity to change the CPU to another one. For example if you had a Core Duo T2400, you can upgrade it to a better processor + (higher speed, 64-bit support). A Core 2 Duo T7600 was installed here. +

+ +

+ Attach the heatsink and install the screws (also, make sure to install the AC jack as highlighted):
+ +

+ +

+ Reinstall that upper bezel:
+ +

+ +

+ Do that:
+ +

+ +

+ Attach keyboard:
+ +

+ +

+ Place keyboard and (sorry, forgot to take pics) reinstall the palmrest and insert screws on the underside:
+ +

+ +

+ It lives!
+ +

+ +

+ Always stress test ('stress -c 2' and xsensors. below 90C is ok) when replacing cpu paste/heatsink:
