sweet! im taking the guts to reapply the thermal paste myself. i use arctic silver, and now watching 10 minutes youtube video is just damn fine! the max temp while watching the youtube is just 65-66C max. no more longer stuttering and choppy video.

first after the new thermal paste applied, the temp is reached 90c! but the case of the macbook air is not hot at all and the fan is only 2700rpm. i think it's because of the newly pasted thermal so dont be scared. but after a hour and half now it's been fine.
