<h1>Changing heatsink (or CPU) on the ThinkPad T60</h1>
<aside>Using this guide you can also change/upgrade the CPU.</aside>
</header>
<p>Or go <a href="index.html">back to main index</a></p>
<h1 id="hardware_requirements">Hardware requirements</h1>
<ul>
<li>rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, and thermal compound for changing CPU heatsink (procedure involves removing heatsink)</li>
<li>thermal compound/paste (Arctic Silver 5 is good. Others are also good.)</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="software_requirements">Software requirements</h1>
<ul>
<li>xsensors</li>
<li>stress</li>

<p>
Remove those screws and remove the HDD:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0001.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0002.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Lift off the palm rest:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0003.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Lift up the keyboard, pull it back a bit, flip it over like that and then disconnect it from the board:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0004.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0005.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0006.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Gently wedge both sides loose:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0007.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0008.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Remove that cable from the position:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0009.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0010.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Remove the bezel (sorry forgot to take pics).
</p>
<p>
On the CPU (and there is another chip south-east to it, sorry forgot to take pic)
clean off the old thermal paste (with the alcohol) and apply new (Artic Silver 5 is good, others are good too)
you should also clean the heatsink the same way<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0051.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Attach the heatsink and install the screws (also, make sure to install the AC jack as highlighted):<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0052.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Reinstall that upper bezel:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0053.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Do that:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0054.JPG" alt="" /> <img src="../images/t60_dev/0055.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Attach keyboard:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0056.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
Place keyboard and (sorry, forgot to take pics) reinstall the palmrest and insert screws on the underside:<br/>
<img src="../images/t60_dev/0058.JPG" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
It lives!<br/>

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