% Changing heatsink (or CPU) on the ThinkPad T60
Using this guide you can also change/upgrade the CPU.
[Back to previous index](./)
Hardware requirements {#hardware_requirements}
=====================
- rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, and thermal compound for
changing CPU heatsink (procedure involves removing heatsink)
- thermal compound/paste (Arctic MX-4 is good. Others are also good.)
Software requirements {#software_requirements}
=====================
- xsensors
- stress
Disassembly {#recovery}
===========
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 (with the alcohol) 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:
