Re: Computer Overheating

You can also try reapplying the thermal compound. Apple does a terrible job ad pretty much just lathers the heatsink with some cheap paste. My macbook was running hot so i cleaned up the inside and reapplied the thermal paste, I see about 10 degrees cooler temperatures. It still runs warm around 64 degrees Celsius browsing internet, using excel, and listening to music, and around 75 doing anything involving flash.
