I have 3 of the IONITX-C (single core Atom) based frontends.  They are
fanless, and I do not treat them particularly well with respect to
ventilation.  I'm sure your M350 case is much better.  I've never seen
any heat-related problems, but it may just be that I don't have CPU
temperature logging enabled, and I also don't know how.  You might
want to have a look at the GPU temperature, especially during
playback, by running "nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp".  The GPU
slowdown threshold is 95C.  My systems idle around 70C.
