wow it worked like a charm! Macbook pro mid 2012 i7 processor, the temperature dropped from 75-76 to 50s in celcius, even 48-49 sometomes! I was thinking to sell the computer because of the overheat issue but I will keep it longer!

Amazing tutorial, I followed every step to the letter but used a Carbonaut thermal pad from Grizzly instead of thermal paste on my MacBook Pro 15" from late 2011. Now running much cooler and quieter. I did nothing specific regarding Microphone disconnection and reconnection but it still works, was that a necessary step? Thanks again for a great video!

it turned out to be quite easy except reconnecting the power cable after cleaning. performance improvement is subtle and really satisfying. its running at 58-60 C now so idk if its ok. but i think its fine. i used htk200 cooler master paste

You forgot to reconnect the microphone cable to the motherboard at 5:17 which is on the same side as the CPU/GPU heat sink. It's fairly tedious to reconnect due to orientation.

Some of these videos are cuts and not all are perfect, it's just to give you an idea of a rough walkthrough.

How did you end up re-connecting it? I haven't been able to.

Sounds like it's getting overheated. Did you reconnect the fan?

Where is the temperature sensor of sink head?

@GRIBSOFT 5 жыл бұрын

It's on the logicboard, you will have to download the schematic for it if you want to find it.

This was so fantastically useful, thanks! (Is there a PayPal or buy-me-a-coffee link where I could send you a few $ as a thank you? It saved my ancient MBP :-)
