Your voice, in my opinion, is perfect for these videos, very calming while dealing with these fragile components. Thank you.
Great tutorial. I updated my mid 2012 MAC and figured since it would be open, I may as well apply new thermal paste. Great tutorial! Thanks a million!
Your voice is so soothing.
i really need to get over my fear of doing this..not replacing the heat sink but replacing the thermal paste.
thanks for posting this.. really helpful
Thanks a ton for this !
Thanks for this guide, very useful.
Unfortunately the screws on the keyboard cable shield got stripped real quick and stopped me.
Max temperature went from 105 C / 220 F to 75 C / 167 F. Great video, thanks!
Glad it helped!
How can you tell how hot it's getting? I know it's really hot but is there a temp app or something?

Thanks for this
Hi, thanks a lot for the tutorial, it was so usefull. My mbp temp was ramping sky high.
Just an observation, on the assembly process, the T6 screw on the middle right of the mainboard is misplaced. Check 2:37 vs 6:06. Another thing, is always a good practice to start disconnecting the battery line.
Thank you so much. Everthing is fine.
Thanks for the tutorial, it's great! What kind of thermal paste do you recommend to use?
Thank you for this
Hello! I just followed your instructions - thanks so much for making this video. Everything's great except my battery isn't working anymore ( though I can still power it up and use it via mains power). What could I have done? I've triple-checked to see that I've reconnected the battery and battery life indicator correctly. I'm also not getting any battery life indicator on the side... :/
Awesome.. Nice
GENIUS!!!!!!
Great video! I followed all the steps and it works 👍. The only problem is it only works on connect to external power. May I know normal what went wrong? Appreciate for your tip🙏
Top right logic board is completely stuck, any solutions?
I stripped one of the screws that go in the keyboard guard, does anybody know what size screw it is? And how to get the screw out?
does this work for the 13".
thank you
Welcome :)
It turned out quite easy as I tried it. Reconnecting the DC power cable under the logic board and aligning the board was a challenge for me. I got through, it's fine. The laptop performed faster, it's subtle but you can tell there is a difference. things load a bit faster and satisfying.
Good, time for a SSD upgrade then you will really tell a difference.
@@GRIBSOFT yes, its already 16 gb ram and ssd. thanks.
You can get rid of the Dvd drive and install another SSD and setup a raid 0 so it will be twice as fast.
@@GRIBSOFT i like the idea, my friend did that too and he loves it. can i put more 2 TB ssd at that slot? maybe in future.
but unfortunately i need the dvd occassionally. hahaha, i hope u can put a blu-ray drive instead..if that is possible.
@@GRIBSOFT i like this idea. the dvd drive adds unnecessary weight to the laptop. do you think you can make a video of it?
Thanks for the video! I'm nervous but I'm going to try it. I figure it's worth a try as the throttling notebook is very frustrating to use as is. I ordered tools and paste. should be here midweek and then I'm jumping in feet first, Thanks!
OK! I did it and it worked so far. Yeah baby! Thanks. I notice that mac's fan control reports the cpu as running hotter than before I changed the thermal paste but I've had the MBP on and plugged in and it's working great. No throttling! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Great! To be honest on an older book like a 2012 I would manually blast the fan on max with fan control form the downloads section at appledollars.com to get best performance.
@@GRIBSOFT Hi.. I did it.. fixed it like 90%. I'm now looking to swap out the logic board of I can find one online. If after the swap it's not much better I'll buy a new mac... Thanks! You're video was great.
@@johnnymilian The Macs will always run hot if plugged in
If the Macbook Pro is overheating, will you need the replace the Heatsink entirely or just re-apply new thermal paste?
just re-apply new thermal paste. Ive never known a heatsink to go out.
I am down to prying out the logic board, I managed to hear "popping" from the tape on the microphone but the board won't budge. It slides and rotates, but at the top near the DC in the board, it just doesn't come up. I don't want to end up breaking it, any tips? I've also ensured all cables and screws are undone.
Same problem here!!
@@eduardopuccini did you find out in the end, same boat rn..
did you find out in the end? same boat rn..
@@VC-bz1ej yeah, I found out that it was just the tape from the microphone holding the board down. You basically need to carefully but strongly separate the tape from the mic.
I had the same. I think it's a speaker and not a mic...
kind of creepy but I have the same watch, same MacBook and same SSD. Did I send this from my future self knowing I was looking into this?
Yes, it's me, I mean you... choose the red pill
Hi! My MacBook Pro 2012 15.4" cpu load 8 2.6 ghz 70 c normal?
Yes, it can get super hot especially if it's not sitting on a flat surface.
that is very low mine goes to 85 to 90 deg just browsing the web and a few apps open and still works fine when goes over 100 deg on heavy load I am getting freezes and though there is no sign of leaks from my original heatsink I am thinking of doing this replacement.

That is amazing, mines get arround 104°C on heavy loads, and don’t thermal throttle in any moment
Louder please. I’m not here for ASMR therapy. I need to hear your instructions loud and clear.
