Yea the heat generation is actually 0W if you use a processor that isn't the same pinout as the motherboard.

I don't think "buy a new notebook" was what this fellow was looking for. I also would caution you against modifying the fan in the notebook; it wasn't chosen with only the CPU in mind but also the heat the 7200rpm hdd generates. Not sure which drive it is but I know the Hitachi one in my T41P and T42P both get pretty toasty. I had one fail in my T41P in fact although I can't for certain say it was heat.
