so I think , we need three things here, one a proper thermal pad below the NVMe SSD, Second a Ventillated Back Cover, and Main the PCH Heatsink, we need to find the best possible solution for PCH, I tested with the aluminium heatsink I ripped from my gigabyte motherboard, one problem I don't have thermal pads.. so it doesn't stay.. and I don't want heatsinks touching my base panels.. we figure this out.. and make a thread..and please send me ur skype id. I have another finding which I need to discuss with you..

The PCH can be simply covered with a metal plate, makes no difference in terms of heat dissipation.
The ASsUS I have below comes with a very thin heatspreader and temps don't come close to 75c -
one thing I wanna mentioned, Ive tested with different methods, first I removed the backcover, and just placed on top of the laptop cooling pad, without the fan running, before my max PCH used to go around 78c, without the backcover, it managed to stay around 71c even after 3hours of Blackops, Next I tried with the Fan on, Guess what, the max I got was 61c.. after 2hours of gaming.. it was pretty amazing, Yes the Thin plate is a good solution, but we need to use a thermal pad inbetween for alienware models, as it doesn have any screw points.. here gettings things are pretty hard, only I can hope others country users to test it..

There is also thermal paste glue. They sell it together with those ram heatsinks for graphic cards.
