Question what's going on with this laptop? (with picture)

not sure if this is the right place to post this but...

my little brother showed me the back of his (gaming) laptop and it looks like this: View: https://imgur.com/a/WXZUgwj

he says his laptop is very noisy and almost overheats at times.
does anybody have any idea what has happened here?

That's just the vents pushed aside, looks like something was pushed between them. They are pretty thin aluminum and easy to bend. As far as being noisy, a lot of gaming systems are, only cure is to either drop the voltage on the CPU a bit or to open it up and re-do the heatsink with a good quality thermal paste.
