By far best video I have watched about how to do this properly. Thanks a lot!

[@AndreHair37]

This was incredibly thorough cleaning and replacement of the sensor and glue how do you know if the heat sensor needs to be replaced and will this all be done in general cleaning and maintenance from Apple or can third-party shops do the same thing? And what can I expect to pay for the cleaning of ventilation system? Thanks again!

[@hkrasniqi]

A great video, well done

[@maccentric]

Where's the link for undervolting? I didn't know you could do that on a MacBook Pro

Thanks so much!

Must you remove the fans to remove the heat pipe? I just want to apply new thermal paste to the CPU/GPU.

I just finished cleaning out my fans and replacing the thermal paste, but when I rebooted my MacBook, the right fan stopped working. I checked if everything was connected and tried to reconnect some cables just for good measure. After I tested everything again, the right fan still wasn’t responding. I’m suspecting that I might’ve slightly bent the cable which connects the right fan to the motherboard. Any advice?

Oh god!

Could this be a fix for the kernal_task easting up high CPU after my laptop overheated? My fan is constantly running as if it were still overheating. Thanks!

SMC reset done?

If someone has a A 1398 Model but the year is 2013, can you put it the same Model on a 2015?

[@piotrm2999]

I have done everything on the video you showed. But I can't reconnect the Wi-Fi three antenas. How do I reconnect them back in a way they will hold stick to the Wi-Fi module and don't reconnect od any shock caused by moving or placing the MacBook to other place - becsuse the connections are very fragile if you use a finger or a tool to press it down to connect as you show on this movie?

[@Harryd06]

Wish I never sold mine now, shame as I jus couldn’t be used i macOS nor had the patience

[@ast3663]

be careful to use the correct bits for this, DONT strip the screw heads for the heat sink..and be careful when using any sharp or pointy metal tools like this ifixit tweezer..I know from experience.
