Lenovo Tiny M92p - Upgraded Heat Sink + Fan

[sprinklesonwaffles]

I have a Lenovo M92p Tiny - and the OEM heat sink and fan are very much subpar.

I would like to know if anyone has upgraded these little guys and what worked for you and what did not.

Thank you!

In a tiny enclosure like this

the only way to efficiently dump heat from your processor is to have a squirrel cage fan drawing air through the heatsink and exhausting air out the back vents. If you opt for an aftermarket cooler, the heat will be dumped inside the chassis as opposed to the exterior due to a lack of an air duct/guide.

Simple answer, no, don't do it. If you want to tax your system, it's advised to build a system that is lower powered and has more than capable cooling in it.
