My 3rd cent on this problem :)
After I reported my findings on Sep 14, I tried Fedora 11 and installed it on my T61. Installed the NVidia kmod (kernel version 2.6.30) and had the temps at
Core1 - min 41C, max 54C
Core2 - min 43C, max 55C
GPU - min 59C, max 67C
Fan - min 2921 rpm, max 3324 rpm
But once I did an entire yum update (900+ packages) and rebooted after 30 mins cooling, the core temps shot up to 60C min for the cores and went to a max of 72C within 5 minutes of usage. This gives a hint that the problem is not unique to Ubuntu.
I dont know if my rant was helpful to anyone. Would be happy to help anyway I can!
