    I bent/broke my heatpipe for my Xiaomi Air 13.3 while applying new thermal paste. The notebook works but it does get pretty hot and throttles a bit after 30 min to an hour of Overwatch. I've used thermal pads to connect the sinks to the metal body, it helped but it's still not as great as it used to. I've tried to look for a replacement heatsink but I can't find it anywhere. I've emailed Xiaomi but theri US/Hong Kong service say they don't sell the product. I get zero response from their Chinese email. Does anyone know where I can find parts for this or know of another model that may fit? Seems like such a small cheap little part but so hard to find!

    Park looks like this:
