 Well [[User:Zro|Zro]] I'm not sure why that difference. I don't understand what you mean about the single and multiprocessor machines. As far as I know the [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T61#Standard_Features|T61 comes with Core Duo]. So as far as the 4th sensor I wouldn't have an answer for you. I still haven't got time to figure out sensors 9, 10 and 11 though, if you find that out let me know (and update [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_T61|my post]). I also have a T60p which also have some unknown sensors. Thanks! --[[User:Lunatico|Lunatico]] 15:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
-T61: It appears the sensor 10 (/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal, counted from 1) is the RAM module(s). The strange thing is (and I would like to hear reports from other TP owners) that it is quite resilient to cooling, meaning that in active use it stubbornly hovers around 43*C, and only goes up from there slowly, with the fan kicking at ~3300 RPM but not achieving any spectacular results, with the sensor reading around 45*C (and up to 48*C, which is the highest I observed). The effect is a loud laptop because of a single sensor/area. This is either poor cooling design or some bad design decisions that have to do with RAM. The hot area appears to be bottom side, under the touchpad area, slightly to the right (towards harddrive). Harddrive is 30*C. 14" WXGA+ T61, RAM: 2x1Gb, HDD: Seagate ST910021AS, Intel GMA X3100, Bluetooth, w/o Fingerprint reader.
+I have disassembled my 14" T61 and have through a cooling spray located sensor 10 to be approximately 2cm to the right from where the DIMMs are. So it does NOT appear to be the RAM itself. I have taken a photo, which I am not sure how to post yet, but it looks like a fuse, gray and round, about 4mm in diameter. There are two other fuses, and in fact it may be any of these, they are in close proximity, and these may not even be fuses but thermal sensors themselves. Why it gets hot I do not know, but I know the EC likes to start the fan when the temperature approaches 45*C.
 I have found a good deal more, but it is all in the pictures.
