Is it possible at all to place either a t520/w520 fan inside a standard t420? Has it ever been done before?

I have a t420 that i upgraded to a 2960xm. It's pretty cool under linux, but gets throttled on windows 10. Just wondering if it was possible to add a bigger fan

Just looking at pictures of both, I'd say no.
The screwhole locations are different.
Has your machine iGPU or dGPU?
Your best bet is a "double-pipe" T420 fan (04W0407-iGPU or 04W0408-dGPU) and use the best thermal paste (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut).
Then see this: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comme ... _possible/
Also check the last youtube entry there.
