Guys, anyone installed this type of heatsink? It has no clips or anything just a thermal adhesive I think. Im worry it may fall off in the long run with that constant heat inside the laptop.

I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2.

Yep, straight swap. Driver automatically installed by Windows but I opted to get the drivers from Intel. I can't tell if there's some changes in performance since I still use WiFi 6 router, will see when the Velop Pro 7 arrives.

I've just upgraded my wireless network card to Killer Wi-Fi 7 and it went like a breeze. Now I have two Killers. 😁

Sorry bro, I already closed the cover a week ago. Anyway, I think those pads underneath are just support cushions, there is no metal to transfer and dissipate the heat (correct me if I'm wrong). Same as the M.2 that was installed when I got it where there are thick thermal pads below but no controller parts to cover.

My friend sold me this laptop for a bargain price. The only issue he told me is frequent lags when playing games. I found out that there is thermal throttling from the CPU. I re-pasted and replaced the thermal pads then tightened up all the mounting screws and checked for uneven surfaces when mounting the HSF. So far so good, no thermal issue for one week now. My only complaint, this laptop is like riding a vacuum cleaner when in heavy load! For those of you guys planning to replace the thermal pads, I labeled the thickness. Hope we have the same heatsink. I used Gelid GP-Ultimate and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme.

I am planning to apply thermal grease to the CPU and GPU but upon checking, I found out that the screws from the GPU are just normal flat screws instead of the spring-loaded ones that I usually saw. Do you have any idea what are the sizes and where to purchase these screws?
