MacBook Pro proudly ranks among the most expensive laptops for consumers. And why not, when for a 15-inch variain maxFor the minimum configuration you will pay more than 130 crowns. Every customer then expects that during production MacBookthe best possible technologies were used. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about the paste, which is responsible for the most efficient heat dissipation from the processor to passive and active cooling. Our reader Petr himself replaced the thermal paste on his two-month-old MacBookat Pro and achieved quite interesting results.
Petr owns a 15″ MacBook Pro (2017) in the highest possible configuration. However, while working on the laptop, he noticed that it was heating up quite often, even though he had only owned the laptop for a few weeks. So he decided to replace the thermal paste and use the original one from Applu used his own, which cost him approximately 300 CZK. The replacement process is not the most complicated, but beginners should definitely not try it. By the way, you can watch the entire procedure in accelerated form in the video below.
The tests in the second half of the video prove that the paste change has improved. Either the temperatures are lower under the same load, or the processor is slightly more powerful at the same temperatures. Petr himself said that now when watching Full HD video the processor has MacBookat the same temperature as when no application was running on it before the replacement. At the same time, during testing, he found another interesting thing. The fan in the 15″ variahere MacBookThe Pro runs at 2 rpm from the moment the computer is turned on, making it almost inaudible, but it constantly removes heat from the computer's body, and only starts running at full speed under real load. In the case of the 000″ MacBookIn Pro, the fan is inactive in most cases and only turns on when a certain temperature is exceeded.

And will the paste be as good in 10 years? I wouldn't immediately judge that it's not the best.
I wonder if the computer will speed up after changing the battery like iPhones. Has anyone not done this? Didn't someone film it? I didn't find anything, I'll probably film it, I thought to myself :-D what should I do before and after? Geekbench test, measure how long it takes to restart? With or without an adept...?
Although the exchange helped, he lost the warranty and is that worth it?
I should have disassembled it too Macbook pro 13 and then I put it in the complaint and it was repaired properly. So that's not always true. Here it was a keyboard error.
And how does the service know? That there is another paste?
So this would like to borrow from a long-term point of view. Maybe she too AppThe new paint paste was better.
oh oh oh Apple it has poor quality paste :D That's nonsense again. When the fresh one dries, the result will be the same.
In general, I would say that his will definitely last longer. If I have min. Arctic Silver. Or. Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, that's already top quality. Manufacturers today spend every dollar on everything. Intel, for example, has not attached a heatspreader to the core for a couple of years, and instead there is shit paste. And when the dedid is done and the Conductonaut must be used, the temperatures will drop easily by 20 degrees. Someone has primo coolers on the core without heatspread and the temperatures are even lower. Then being 30 cents behind me is hell to know.
Snazy labs also solved this and said that the i7 in the pro 15 is simply useless, the cooling concept won't hold up, and he put the most expensive and sticky paste there and put it in dry ice. So yes, the paste helped, but it still didn't prevent performance and temperature fluctuations on new Macs :)
Is it possible to set the fan in the 13 version so that it also always spins 2000 revolutions?

The assembly part is badly edited and even played in reverse. At that speed, few people will notice it. I was impressed with how precisely and without hesitation the screws are taken and screwed in and connected to theonewhich to MB. Even an experienced technician wouldn't be able to do that :-)
