Macbook pro 2011 13" overheating problems

TitoK · Feb 27, 2015

Hi everybody
I have 13" Macbook pro early 2011, I face a problem of overheat, upon restarting and without even open any program the CPU heat is ver 60C once I open safari or mail temp jump to 80C if I open many apps like pages the system crashes!
I dunno what to do,

I cleaned the fans, No improvements !
I applied Arctic Silver 5 compound after cleaning the heat sink and the CPU, improvements!
I bought PK-1 high grade themal compound, cleaned everything and applied it on the processor, No improvement!

What else I can do?
anyone know of s super fan that I can replace with the current so it will fix my problem?
Please help :??:

I'm going to suggest waiting a bit, often once a laptop overheats it can take some time for the thermal sensors to begin reporting properly again (sometimes as long as three weeks) - you can use the laptop in the mean time, I'd suggest minimally though.
There really aren't any options for a "better" fan in the MacBook, a cooling pad can help or even an exhaust assist type fan like this http

There is actually a list of common solutions with macbook pro's overheating. That being said you might want to have your laptop checked if it overheats that quickly maybe a fresh install or a virus check.

Otherwise there are some interesting ideas like removing the cd tray to get more airflow, and how to properly clean the vents, not just the fans!
