I think my P330 unit is faulty. I don't think lenovo will design system or screw BIOS which will result in so high temperatures and jet engine fans.

When the CPU is running at ~99-100C, is the system sitting idle or do you have a heavy workload on the system?

Yes. I have tried both policies in ICE. Doesn't make any difference. PC reaches 100 degrees even with light load like system patching or intermittent code compilation. PC is now with Lenovo for repair/replacement.
