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!
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.
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
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!
Hi, I followed all your instruction.after done the paste my MacBook Pro late 2011 was worked for few hours.now it's completely dead(white screen) and the logic board getting extremely hot when boots.i have no idea what's going with my mac.please help...thanks
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 :-)

Amazing guide, think I'll put some AS5 in there!

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.
The explanation is very detail. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

Sounds like it's getting overheated. Did you reconnect the fan?
Might be to much/to little paste
I'm a 2011 MacBook Pro early i5 dual core, can I upgrade to i7 4 cores?
cheeze ... putting enough thermal paste on for 10 laptops !!
Thank you very helpful & resourceful
Thanks!
Great video, thanks!!!
Where is the temperature sensor of sink head?
It's on the logicboard, you will have to download the schematic for it if you want to find it.

06:07 Incorrectly Mounted Bolts!
the thermal paste have cure time
No it doesn't.
