This problem related to this Heatsink making noise (like crackling)

Hi, my problem is identical to the one described in the link above. I even have the exact same laptop. I've been looking for this problem for weeks on the internet, but I've never been able to solve it. Everything is the same, when replacing the thermal paste and pads, I bent part of the heatsink a bit and now with the fan on, it hisses and crackles in games. The problem is definitely not the fan or debris, the sound is coming from the heatsink. What should i do ?

I copied a photo from another thread, it's identical with me where the heatsink was bended and probably where the noise comes from.

Hey, buddy, I'm sorry to hear that.

I was able to contact a Razer representative and they opened up an issue I described above, but it was to no avail as the laptop is old, I no longer have the receipt and warranty on it and all they could offer me was “send in your unit to our repair center”. Of course for money. It is expensive and very time consuming. I asked them if I could buy the same part, but they don't have it. So I went to ebay, and luckily I found a radiator, but from Razer Blade 15 2020 for 20 Euro. I took a chance and bought it because the measurements say it fits, and OH WONDER. All I had to do was cut off one mount and the radiator fit just like it did.

I wish you the best of luck.
