It's a ThinkPad X220 (notebook version, not tablet version). Let's provide that the clip fits the chip, the wires fit the clip and I have PSUs to power everything.
You're lucky. The X220 is a rather easy target.
How long may the wires be?
10 to 20cm works well. Sometimes shorter is better, but the X220 shouldn't make you any trouble. So I'd rather choose cables that don't make handling of the clip too inconvenient.
