      Can be a bit pot luck.
      But what is officially supported and what actually works is often different.
      If you look up what CPU's the chipset on your motherboard supports, theres a good chance of said CPU's working even if not officially supported by your motherboard's manufacturer...

      No they will probably have less of a heating issue, because it will be harder for a normal user to max out the capabilities of this machine. Also, an SSD does not create heat like a normal hard drive would, so that in it self removed a small percentage of heat in side that old computer's set up. Plus he cleaned the inside very well so air circulation should not be an issue.

    Using high TDP with one fan will make your laptop heat. You should have been used the 35W max CPU.

      this can be okay, if there are models with higher tdp in laptop's lineup. Since cooling is the same most of the time.

    The N5050 is pretty good to use as long as you have some patience with it. I've had it myself. Upgraded the RAM to 8GB and it worked fine. but you don't have to expect to run mid range games on it and high workloads to run normal on it.

    Wow, that's a great find for that price, but the amount of work you put in is what's truly astonishing!
    All that's missing IMO is:
    A battery improvement by replacing the 18650 cells in the battery with higher capacity and higher quality cells
    An external GPU through the mini PCIe slot (maybe even removable with USB integrated WiFi if you're good with soldering)
    A hard drive instead of a CD/DVD Drive for large files and games.
