Thermal paste
If you MacBook has been in use for several long years, you may encounter hardened thermal paste. If someone has already mentioned "hardened paste" to you and you do not know what the paste is, simply put, it is a substance in a thick liquid form that is intended to fill the space between the processor and the heatsink. This paste therefore helps to transfer high temperature from the processor to the heatsink. The surface of the processor, as well as the surface of the heatsink, is often not perfectly flat and air bubbles can form there. Air conducts heat much worse than thermal paste, which perfectly fills these gaps. Over time, thermal paste hardens and loses its properties, which is why it is recommended to replace it. Thermal paste can often reduce the temperature of the processor by tens of degrees, and considering that you can buy quality thermal paste for a few hundred crowns, it is a perfect and effective investment.
Thermal paste on chips and heat sink:
Pro To replace the thermal paste, you need to remove the bottom cover, just like when cleaning, and then get to the cooler with the processor. In practice, the easiest way to replace the thermal paste is on models from around 2015, but in the case of "facelift" models from 2016, it is often necessary to remove the entire motherboard to replace the paste. After removing the cooler, simply clean the contact surfaces from the old thermal paste, ideally with alcohol, then apply new paste and reassemble the entire device. If you would like to see how to clean and replace the thermal paste on MacBooku Pro from 2105, so watch the video below.
I have MB Air 2019 and it's humming when using Lightroom. I solved it with the Turbo boost switcher app and I can only recommend it...
Hi, what processor do you have please? I'm thinking about it too and it supposedly air it only doesn't overheat when it has two cores
AirBoth 2018 and 2019 were always made with dual cores, but due to more or less passive cooling, they can still overheat despite the presence of a fan.
Otherwise, they even have the same processor, I think a 1,6 GHz i5
i5 in the new air is 4-core
