That's the fan. The super-slim has next to no ventilation so it can overheat quickly (especially if it's working hard & vents are not cleaned often)

Additionally the thermal paste might need replacing, if you are tearing down to clear the fan out properly, you might aswell check the paste hasn't dried up while you are in there.
