Introduction
The heatsink (or heat sink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers heat in a device. The heatsink disperses heat from another component in the device to prevent the device from overheating. In this device, the fan is attached to the heatsink. The fan cools the internal components and keeps them from overheating.
If you find that your laptop is experiencing the following symptoms, it may be time to replace the fan and heatsink assembly:
* Easily overheats
* Running at higher temperatures than normal
* Loud whirring noises
* Laptop is getting louder
Follow these instructions to remove and replace the fan and heatsink assembly in your Lenovo ThinkPad T450 laptop. Make sure to turn off your laptop and let it cool for 20 minutes before proceeding with the guide.
Don’t forget to follow our [guide|744|thermal paste application guide] after you have removed your heat sink and are ready to reassemble your device.
