My rMBP 2012 been serving well so far, but noticed running pretty hot these days. Idle at 64c, Youtube and little task shoots temperatures to around 85c.
I have tried to repaste with thermal grizzly Kryonaut but not much of improvement. when I opened the back I have noticed how thin the heatsink is! Since the body is made of aluminium it occurs to me that what if I could spread the heat from heatsink throughout the body to keep the temperature cool. I have seen on google, people using thermal pads on pc laptops to do that. Just wondering if this could be an option to bring the temperature down? I am not an expert, so if anyone tried anything like this please feel free to share. What are Pros and cons of doing this? Thanks in advance
