My new unit is an A04 mobo. I dont remember what the original was, but the Tech did not replace the HSF. Just the mobo. I got mine in September, so it could have very well be the A01 mobo.

No, the thermal pads have the consistency of a dense sponge. It does not melt like the "old stuck on" thermal pad...hence its reusability. If not, dell tech would have needed to send replacement HSFs with the mobo.

From the looks of it, the heatsinks are attached to the heatpipe by some sort of thermal adhesive
