HP Recommended
Product: OMEN 15-ax225nd
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just opened my hp omen 15ax225nd to replace my SSD and I saw a shiny piece of hardware exposed which I just found out to be the CPU of my laptop. According to the manual there should be a heat sink on top of it which I find very weird. This laptop has been purchased from the official HP website and it has never been opened up before. Is the fact that the heat sink is missing a bad thing for my CPU? I have been using it for years like this without knowing this.
