The CPU cooling unit consists of a copper contact surface that transports heat through a heat pipe to the actual heat sink (copper base plate with welded-on copper ribs). A temperature-controlled radial fan blows the dissipated heat out of the case. If the CPU load is minimal or even nil, the fan will stop and leave the cooling up to the heat pipe and heat sink, which are effective enough in this case.
The contact surface to the CPU (red oval) is not much larger than the die surface.
The heat pipe is visible on top of the cooling system.
Size comparison: an AMD bundled cooler to the left; the notebook's CPU cooling system to the right.
Only a service technician can exchange hard drives in this notebook, since the only way to reach the drive is by removing the hand rest.
The WLAN module (red square) and the hard drive are covered by the hand rest.
