Chosen Solution
I am very disappointed with the general high temperatures and the thermal throttling when gaming (World of Warcraft in MacOS). It seems to be common knowledge, that repasting a Macbook, will result in a major decrase in both idle temperatures and during load. But, I don’t know if I dare do it. It is an expensive piece of hardware, and the fear of breaking something lurks in back of my mind. Does anyone have any on hand experience with this - and can share some experience with it? I am well versed in hardware, and I have a steady hand - so I do think that I would be able to do it with a youtube video guiding me through. Which tools would be recommended to order from iFixit to be able to complete this procedure the safest way possible?
You will void your warranty doing this. Better to take it back to Apple and get a record of your problem. Is it throttling down when hot? UPDATE Here’s a discussion of the issue on this machine and possible solutions: https://www.reddit.com/r/bootcamp/commen…
This should come in handy but if you don’t mind me asking, what are you gaming on a MacBook? Linus Tech Tips - We FIXED Apple’s New MacBook Pro
