this other thread seems like the closest I might get to an answer: [How does the laptop airflow/cooling work? - #10 by Peter\_K](https://community.frame.work/t/how-does-the-laptop-airflow-cooling-work/13443/10)

ie conclusion it is not really pulling across the memory or other M/B ports, and any holes I give are likely going to be less restrictive than whatever the laptop configuration allows.
