Have a couple 2015 model Macbooks that are apparently bogging down a bit so was considering whether it was time to give them a repaste-- you couldn't have uploaded this at a more convenient time, haha. Might ask someone else to take on the task since disassembling the silly thing looks laborious, but appreciate the walkthrough and benchmarks too!
Hi Kevin, since you are talking about the 2015 models, there it is a bit of a different story. Please search for a video which specifically shows the process for that. I believe it is much easier from what I saw in some videos because with the 2015 model the heat sink is actually bolted on from the top, so you do NOT have to take out the whole motherboard to repaste. Much easier in that way!
I just did this like 2 days ago, what a pain. Im glad I did it though because my fans are never blowing now unless Im doing something intensive which is just great!
Hi! Thank you very much for sharing your result. I think the reason people's results are only showing very little increase in performance is that most of them repasted their machines while they were still fairly new (with sufficient original paste). I have always wondered about the result if I repaste it now since I am experiencing a significant slow down this year. This will be my weekend project this week!
Very nice results. I would suggest not using a spudger on/near the die, it's really easy to knock off an SMD in the process and render it dead. Use a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol and be VERY gentle
I just put a battery in the MacBookPro last night. I kinda wish I re pasted after watching this video. That being said I don't export video with my intel MacBookPro anymore as I use my M1 MacBook so it probably doesn't really matter. Thanks for the video.
My macbook A1707 2017 repaste using artic mx4 always reach 100⁰C when boot or opening app or rendering and about 60⁰C - 70⁰C when idle process with auto fan setting, is that normal?

How is it that paste disappears according to you?
@@jango71it doesn’t disappear but gets harder and makes worse conductivity

Thanks for the tips.
Good job 👏
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Exactly what i'm pondering to do
Good job. I have seen here on TH-cam where people have been able to remove the ssd and install higher capacity ssd's.

Thanks for your comment. Awesome you were able to put a new battery in.
Did the 2016 model give you any keyboard trouble
I never had any bad issues with it.

No lol
If you had cable trouble did replacement fix the issue
I did not have to replace anything. It all worked again.
@@ChrisSpiegl sorry, I meant keyboard trouble as in sticky keys etc.
@@dummyemail4738 I never had sticky keys. I know this was an issue for many but not on my model for some reason.
@@ChrisSpiegl you are probably a very clean person 😃
Dirt sticking under the keys cause the issue
