for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn’t do much.

    But a processor from 2013 is kinda whack, and there’s no physical quad-core with logical octa-core, so that kinda defeats the purpose, right? Honestly, I’d love to have a Thinkpad with a high TDP workstation processor that is good enough to build NodeJS/Rust from source in a few hours, and no dGPU.
