Hi All,
After experiencing heavy lag and throttling in my MacbookPro (A1398) recently, I had decided to check the fans for dust and thermal paste under heatsink.
Attaching my Macbook specs:
And so, had successfully cleaned the dust and applied a new thermal paste - Cooler MasterGel Regular (https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/thermal-grease/new-mastergel-regular/). I've even formatted the SSD and reinstalled BigSur to start afresh.
Although the Macbook is working fine now with no throttling/lag, the overheating is still persistent and the fans seem to be maxed out.
Attaching a TGPro screenshot for the same.
Should i be worried about the fans constantly running at the max RPM and temp of 60-70°C always?
I'm thinking of reapplying a new thermal paste, like the Subzero Overclocking C14 paste (https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B09NLWJ9YZ/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A4N9H4P6YIP8V&psc=1).
Would this be of any help?
Any other suggestions please?
