Found this sub while looking for a new laptop to replace my surface pro 3. I'm a Psychiatry Fellow and spend most of my day typing notes while people speak, so a T series keyboard sounded like a good priority. I also do photography and graphic design on the side, utilizing several Adobe CC products, so 8th Gen processor, upgradeable drive/ram, and color accurate screen were essential. Almost went with X1C6, but ultimately, longevity and value (still just a fellow) were more important than portability and brightness. So in the end, the T480 seemed like the best fit (though I really miss having a touch screen).
Below is my custom config ordered during the Black Friday in July sale, followed by my mods:
Ordered specs:
.
Upgrades on arrival:
The screen is beautiful, and I'm digging the anti-glare matte, though my SP3 glossy screen made colors pop more. I installed the calibrated color profile from the notebookcheck.com review of the T480s with what I assume was the same WQHD screen. Here are the instructions I used from notebookcheck.
Replacing the internal components was a breeze, though unfortunately, I watched the Lenovo disassembly video that showed front clips being disengaged with spudger, so now I have a front gap. Also broke a battery compartment clip but whatever.
I installed windows fresh using a recovery flash drive made before swapping in the NVMe drive. I'm fully updated through both vantage and windows update, which took a few hours.
Ultimately, I'm ridiculously happy with this build. The keyboard is a DREAM except for the annoying fn button placement (who thought this was a good idea?). I threw in a Logitech MX Master 2S for desk work, but honestly, this trackpoint is a game changer when I'm working on my lap.
Any other mod suggestions??? Questions??? Comments???
You don't even know what CPU he has and you say to underclock to 2.0ghz? That's likely cutting his frequency literally in half which would yield bad perormance. And underclocking isn't really what you want anyway, it's undervolting that you want (running at the highest frequency with the least amount of voltage needed to reduce temperatures). For example, I run my 3900x at 4.2ghz and 1.1875V and get lower temperatures and power draw without sacrificing performance.
OP, I have the same motherboard and also noticed my pcie 4.0 Corsair SSD running a little hotter than average. I'd recommend running userbenchmark and seeing if your SSD is performing under average due to any temperature throttling. If it isn't, you shouldn't worry. If you are, buying something like this might also help (what I did that lowered temps ~5C).

Hmm, I'll have to try it out on the heatsinks. I am currently using this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNRP9HK on my SSD and it seems to work well.
Found a comment on a similar SSD (corsair) with same mobo they removed the heatsink and put this on it - https://www.amazon.com/Heatsink-Copper-Copper%EF%BC%8C-Silicone-Thermal/dp/B07QNRP9HK and seems to run fine, was overheating otherwise, anyone think otherwise?
I see some other pretty low profile looking heatsinks that might actually work, there is space to have a heatsink, just not as tall as the one it comes with
*Edit - Ordered a heatsink (the taller one should fit, if not will try the smaller one) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PS9S2DZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will update once I get all my parts and complete the build for anyone with this issue in the future
