This guide will show you how to replace your Lenovo ThinkBook 13s-IML Heat Sink.
The heat sink absorbs heat from the CPU and GPU and disperses it to prevent overheating and heat throttling. A bad heat sink causes permanent hardware failure, so it is important to replace it. If your laptop maintains high idle temperatures, frequent thermal throttling, random shutdowns, or loud fan noise, then it may be time to replace your heat sink.
Before you start your replacement, make sure your laptop is completely shut off and disconnected from any power sources.
