Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

You could make good arguments either way but X240 snow has great reviews. I have used three of those in builds you’re getting two for one at $54 with free shipping. You are using natural ventilation do not only cool your CPU blow that hot air right out of the top of your computer that heat from the CPU is being bone directly back into the case you may have a pointed at your exhaust fan, but there is still here that would not otherwise be there
In my humble opinion
And I understand the air answer may be good for 10 or 12 years, but for me personally getting the next best thing every other year, so it really doesn’t matter may not be the right answer for everyone but it’s the right answer for me
