I have some Intel T7600 cpus I'd like to test using a Dell Inspiron E1505. Since I don't want to permanently install the cpus, I don't want to put any thermal compound on them and I'd like to leave the motherboard exposed to make things easier. I'll reinstall the heatsink between tests, but would prefer not to put the entire laptop back together.. maybe just "set" the top case on it.
Are there heat concerns by doing this? Could I place a large room fan over the laptop? Could I do something more extreme, like put the laptop in the refrigerator?
PS. By "test", I mean I'll run some kind of cpu diagnostics... most likely using the Intel Processor Diagnostics Tool via a Fedora Live USB.
