After I have put my laptop on some stands and given more space under it, I am not having any thermal shutdowns. However, the laptop does seem to be hotter than in Intrepid.

I agree this is subjective, but in Intrepid I would not need to keep my laptop raised, and it would never have a thermal shutdown. I think this is key, because I have not changed my habits, and it is ONLY because of the upgrade that I am having a thermal shutdown.
