The key is not in just disabling the fans and letting it all boil, the key is in not producing the heat, because of the undervolt.

Yep. My X220 runs at 800 MHz unless I’m watching a YouTube video, at which point it switches to 1.2 GHz-ish. I don’t let it get much above that level otherwise my battery life and temperatures suffer.
