GTi14 Ultra 185H Reassembly: How to do it wrong

Lapped the heatsink to try and smooth it out and reassembled the GTi14 Ultra without its speaker, microphone, dust filter, and a few missing screws. The result? Similar performance as before with higher temperatures. Yikes.

Most of the issue was likely because I used generic noctua thermal paste to replace the liquid metal/thermal paste mixture inside. It seems the speaker and dust filter may help channel air flow over the ram. I will have to dissassemble and reassemble the mini pc at another day and apply some thermal grizly liquid metal and reconnect the speaker.

Unfortunately, this means that I did not find a solution to the GTi14 Ultra thermal throttling. The 185H is just an incredibly hot and power hungry CPU and I am going to need to get very creative to improve the temperature situation.
