Lenovo ideapad gaming 3, heatpipe Folded

josuegomez17062002@gmail. · Jun 27, 2024

A few days ago I bought a Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 laptop, and when I uncovered it for maintenance I realized that the heatpipe was a little bent in the middle, my questions are the following:

Could that affect the performance of the cooling system?

Is there a way I can fix it?

from the pic it looks the heat pipe connected on processor and graphic chip that has different height so they bend to get right contact
what about your temp? if it's normal range so you don't need to worry

nothing to worry about, since its the pipe that goes across from one fan/fin stack to the other fan/fin stack.

i suppose it would be only used under low loads when only one fan is running and it can cool both CPU and GPU without need to be too loud with both fans running.

Looks fine to me.
There is nothing to fix.

There is nothing needed to be fixed here.

Enjoy your new laptop!

Looks like its by design. You can see the exact same thing with the 2021 laptop

:EDIT::

Also - why would you use your email address as an account name???

Stops corrosion and insulates a bit on copper, IIRC my old course notes, and the heatsinks are black-anodized aluminum to match.

Pretty much the norm for notebooks.
This site does a lot of notebook reviews and pop them open, if you're interested.

That dent in the middle doesn't look quite right.
