Yeah maybe they forgot to remove. I dont know. Its not working anyway.

But my 1600€ laptop is overheating and theres not much I can do.

Its a year old gaming laptop on a cooling pad and yet it goes to 99C.

Money well spent...

The only fix I have ever seen work is to disassemble and apply new cooling compound or perhaps copper shims where the heatsink meets the CPU and GPU cores. You can also try limiting processor top frequency in the power management settings, but that affects performance. I have seen major cooling improvements from just capping it at say 95%
