Einleitung

The heat sink is in charge of dissipating heat from within your computer’s housing unit to prevent your CPU from being damaged.

A faulty heat sink will likely overheat your computer’s CPU and destroy many components, resulting in the loss of information, and an inability to access various drives on your computer.

If you notice your laptop getting abnormally hot, or if the fans are constantly running, then your laptop may have a faulty heat sink.

Follow these 8 steps in order to successfully replace the heat sink in a Razer Blade Stealth 2016 laptop.

Be sure that the laptop is powered off before beginning.

I’m also interested in this! There is no mention of how to unplug the fan cable

The cable/ribbon is unclamped free by sliding the cream coloured rectangles (on the left and right of the ribbon) 2mm towards the laptop hinge. It re-clamps the ribbon back in the original position.
