Macbookpro Too Hot ?? Here's The Fix — #2
That's really impressive if it is true, but I don't think I dare to break open my Macbook Pro case (even though I've built my own PCs since the early 90s and am actually manical ab…

Awesome fix, if true. I'd use some Arctic Silver 5, though.

I dont want to shoot this down or anythign cuz for one that is an ungodly amount of paste they used which is definatley a factor in the heat problem. But if they used some crap on…

i learned my lesson about the MBP "fixes"...i will wait for a recall or a software fix. i will not go through the hell of another fix.

Differences in thermal paste will have no effect on the temperature of your computer in your lap. The only thing to vary is the Td between the chip and the heat sink on the other s…

Except that the report is that the fans go on more often with proper thermal paste applied, so what seems to be happening is that the heat is actually being lead through the heat p…

ok this is way out of my comprehenstion.
is what the guy posted a true fix? i dont see how apple could screw up what seems to be such a fundemental and usually simple task of a…

As per my previous post, no wonder I couldn't hear the MBP fan. There aren't any hot air coming from the back hinge area unlike my PB 12" when it is hot, the fan turns on and hot …

Yeah the fans turning on more often to me is an indicative that the chips are getting actually hotter, not cooler.
The guy could just be doing it wrong, so it doesn't dissipate as…
Macbookpro Too Hot ?? Here's The Fix — #16
I don't buy that heat gets trapped INSIDE the case. If that would happen, then the heat wouldn't reach the fans and they wouldn't turn on.
Since they now turn on more often, accor…

What I don't buy is that the heat reaches more easy the exterior of the computer than the internal sensors, no matter how many thermal paste you put wrong there is more stuff betwe…

All of Intel's chips have thermal sensors built in. Another "system" temperature may be reported (who knows where that sensor is), but the CPU temp is from the internal diode.
You…

Ok, I can't find the link now, but one of these home-fixers specifically said that he saw temp sensors (or some wiring from it) by the fans only, nowhere else. So that means that t…

Been following the Apple discussions thread, now that there IS an utility to measure the chips IN DIE sensors. So far there are reports of people "fixing" the paste with high tempe…

So if I buy a macbookpro today, would it still have the heat and whine issues?
Macbookpro Too Hot ?? Here's The Fix — #22
I wouldn't say the heat is an "issue" more than a fundamental "flaw". The whine is an issue, and probably you will still get it with a new one, there is no official word on getting…
Macbookpro Too Hot ?? Here's The Fix — #23
i think the inverter whine has been fixed for new models.
cpu whine however has not.
Macbookpro Too Hot ?? Here's The Fix — #24
I exchanged a Week 11 for a Week 14 hoping that it'd be cooler.
The week 11 MBP didn't have the invertor (LCD) buzz, but the week 14 does.

"I still stand in the "no help in reapplying the thermal" camp."
What would it take to convince you otherwise? BTW, here is the result after redoing the paste on mine...

Just had an odd experience with my two week old MBP.
For the first week or so it would get very hot just web surfing and installing a few apps and downloading new versions of apps…
