No fan or Heatsink installed hp 15-bs234wm

Kinda feel cheated not going to lie. I know the Intel Pentium silver n5000 is a low wattage CPU but this is uncalled for. My wife's laptop was running into all kinds of problems. mainly running very very slow even on a fresh install of windows 10. took it apart to see if maybe a fan went out or thermal pasted need changed. Well when I took off that back cover I was blown away on how much you HP cheeped out on the cooling...  I can never hit the max boost speed. I guess when you are using a PIECE OF ALUMINUM SHEET METAL. there is no copper or anything for the "cooler to pull the heat from the CPU. Kinda basic knowledge that shinny sheet metal is very very bad for heat dispertion and for cooling. That would explain why it has ran like crap since purchase. It was thermal throttling before i took it apart. hitting 90c under 75% load. I had system monitoring software logging the temps while I used it for about a half hour after I took it apart. replace the thermal paste with a thicker thermal pad and also put another pad on top of the metal "Cooler" so it would transfer the heat to the case to help dissipate it faster. After using a 5 cent thermal pad it wasn't thermal throttling anymore and staying around 60c idle @ 1.5 ghz  85c on full load at 2.2 GHZ Still haven't go it to hit max boost yet and probably won't because of HP's greed. After this I will never buy another HP product ever. You could of spent the extra dollar to at least put a blower fan in there.  there is no excuse for this and you can't use the whole We didn't install it because its a low wattage chip. 85C after I fixed your engineers laziness. Buy beware with HP. this isn't the only model laptop they have done this too. $400 retail for this laptop BTW. Guess the joke is on me since I got scammed by hp and their $50 laptop
