That is the name of the game for my build, bad choices in 2016 got me throttled, with little options to upgrade and a GPU that fried itself off due to an old style case. Adding all the fans my old case could support it became noisy so I went for 140mm and AIO to reduce noise as much as possible, and the i5 because for gaming it's virtually identical to an i7 but at half the price - I still coughed up north of 2000 euros for my build.

The 13th gen i7 of this tier is garbage. It's a 250W chip. So is the i9! Just get an i9!
I got the i5 you did because I wanted an air cooled system, and 180W was the max I was willing to go on air (a good call, considering 180W is what the i9 laptop CPU tops out at, and it's on air)
I think your cooling is a bit overkill, but heck, if it helps you sleep at night great. Your cooling is good for another 70 watts, so the i9 would be quite happy in your setup. The i5 doesn't need all that, but as you suggested, better to have it and not need it.

...for this same exact reason  . I was planning on getting something beefier if the price allowed it, and I can still change the CPU (which I know I won't but still).

I have to add, I cannot sing the praises of the i5-13600K enough. It is my favorite 13th gen chip.
Why? Performance per watt, and the fact that it's a sleeper chip. The i5 badge is a misnomer, since this thing handily benches in the i9 tier.
It reminds me of their old 6ghzable wolfdale core duo chips. The badge simply did not speak to the performance. The thing was a killer.
And so is this chip.

You are right about i5-13600K. Benchmarks confirm.
Because of high performance per watts (handles heat), it appears to be the choice when mated to high end graphics boards.

Makes you wonder just how much and what crapware was preloaded. After you reimaged did you download the Lenovo drivers?

I didn't do that. I went through the recovery option to bring it back to factory. With all of the stuff it came with. It shouldn't have fixed it, but it did.
I intend to replace the system drive today and I'm kind of freaked out by the prospect tbh.

I replaced my very slow hard drive in my 6 year old laptop with an SSD.
It in now working just the way I want it. Its snappy and with my cooling platform the entire machine is kept cool.
By the way, how do you change the voltage that is being used? Isn't that part of the hardware?

Supporting hardware will allow you to adjust its voltage levels. You just need an "unlocked" CPU - one of the performance tier intel chips.

Thumbs up for your persistence!
I don't completely understand all the attempts you made to chase down the heat problems, but everything was solved by the 'factory wipe'?
I'm curious as to how many other people will be having the same problem -- or perhaps your custom specs for the laptop made yours unique?

Oh this laptop wasn't custom. I basically bought it straight off the shelf, as is.
I've been on their subreddit and discord server for this laptop. This line has a thriving community of enthusiasts so it's pretty easy to find information. That was nice.
The other thing that's cool about laptops that didn't occur to me, is you're all running the same hardware, so comparing benchmarks is really straightforward and can easily highlight performance and configuration issues.
Undervolting the CPU on these machines is really common, and cleaned up any remaining throttling the factory wipe didn't fix.
Other people didn't have to wipe their machine. Something just went haywire in mine for some reason. It's a mystery. Though other people have had problems since unboxing I'm not sure how they've solved them in many cases because they often don't report back once they've figured it out.

Can you point me to the (non-clickbait) resources or content on how to undervolt a laptop? My daughter's new laptop sounds like a jet engine even thought the task manager shows the cpu, disk, etc are idling.

You'll only be able to do with one of Intel's performance CPUs like an i9-13900HX
You can use a program called Throttlestop 9.6. I believe it comes with an undervolting guide.

Just reading this
[First 10 million members Part One](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/637403/Looking-back-at-the-first-10-million-members-Part)
and saw
<o:p> in several places - what does it mean ?

Sorry, what? Quote: /ˌoʊˈpiː/ abbreviation for original poster: used on the internet to refer to the person who first started a conversation about something

Doesn't answer the question. Google search returns OP, which is Original Poster.
The question by OP was "What does <o:p> mean?"

It resembles the xml tags of office files...
Like <w:p> is a for paragraph in word... It maybe a copy/paster error...
