Vacuum cleaner fixed the problem for me. My Thinkpad x201i was reaching 100C temperature regularly after only a few minutes of full load. I removed keyboard and cleaned the cpu cooler with a vacuum cleaner. Maybe it could be done by cleaning the cpu cooler venhole only from the outside.
Now I never reach temperatures over 85C even with closed lid in the docking station and after prolonged time on full load. Standard cpu temperature is ~ 60C.
