I decided I'm going to remove them soon, because even with turbo mode and a cooling base it stills gets throttled to 1.4GHz. I think if needed they can be pasted back to avoid voiding warranty.
I don't think however bad cooling is the real problem of this laptop. I think all laptops overheat and get throttled when used at max capacity. You may be right that cooling is specially bad with this one, but I'm pretty sure there are tens of laptops in the market with the same bad cooling. I think what really sets this one apart is 2 things:
1. Lame decision of bios starting up the laptop in silent mode, which always leads to slowdown unless you have armory/whatever to move it to regular mode.
2. Throttling cannot be reversed until reboot.
We can do the workarounds we want, and they may work perfectly. Leaving it wide open, putting it in the fridge, but still I think there is no sane way to explain the 2 points above. The surprising thing is they keep releasing new BIOS versions that don't fix any of above issues (I see they just released v302). It would be amazing to have some internal info from the devs of wtf is happening, just for the laughs.
