Hi, first check if any process is using 100% (or less, but constantly) of your cpu ('top' command in a terminal is good for this). Then check that cpu frequency scaling is enabled in the BIOS and in Fedora. Last, check your computer for dust : it prevents the airflow and thus reducing greatly thecooling potential of your fans.
BIOS setup? Your problem is that gnome-panel is running amok. Try removing applets from it one at a time and watching top to see which one was causing the high CPU usage.
There's surely a way, but why not just right-click on and remove them one at a time? gnome-panel is the bar on top/bottom of your screen. Start with anything that updates.
try to check if you have the latest firmware for your BIOS laptop, sometimes there are issues with these laptops, that are solved with a firmware upgrade(thermal problems, IRQ freezes, etc.)
X61s systems are known to run hot on any OS, particularly under the right keyboard rest, where the WiFi card is located. Poor design. Perhaps you can disable the card and run a USB WiFi dongle.
