For me the overheating occurs both when working with the computer AND when the lid is closed. My computer is mostly on full load because of the work I do and the first situation is "manageable" (though dangerous).

The second issue when the lid closed is truly awful considered I put the computer in my bag AND it will overheat with no air to cool of the hardware. When I get home the computer is burning hot!

Cred to the Thinkpad (x201,i5) team! Most computers would have fried a long time ago with this bug active for so (too) long.

The Thinkpad computers should be REMOVED from the Ubuntu "supported hardware" site!
