Hi all, I replaced the thermal paste on my CPU and GPU. When putting the screws back two of them got lost. Yea, I dropped them and couldn’t find them. They are both for the GPU. There are two holding it down but two are not. Is there any place i can go to buy a set of screws for this MacBook Pro. I really hate to have them not in there. OCD won’t let me leave them out. Also, after reapplying the new paste and restarting the computer, it seems like the computer CPU cores are running hotter than normal. Like 180’s and 190’s. Thanks for any help anyone can give me Update (12/24/2022) Ok, here is the screenshot of TG Pro doing its thing.
@rbaron - Here’s one source for the screws TheBookYard UK - Screws I would do a bit more investigation into the source of the heat. I would install this great app as it will show you visually what’s happening TG Pro. Take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see.
