[QUOTE="moseymoose, post: 1128423, member: 176321"] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]Now to some the temperature of their MacBook is not an issue them. Neither is it to me; however, since I've upgraded my mac to the limit of its RAM and recently upgraded the hard drive where I have 100GB free since I can't upgrade the CPU without actually fitting a different logic board which would be slightly defeating the point and would be easier to just to upgrade to the MacBook Pro when I just want to keep this one for now. I have been looking into ways of increasing the performance by increasing its cooling efficiency. I've got some new Artic Silver thermal compound which should be broke in in another 100 hours and may even try their premium compound with the random french sounding name. It seems to have lowered my CPU temperature and evened out the difference in temperate between the heatsink and the core. The macbook's case itself isn't one that is good for cooling to begin with so seening as I've been thinking about replacing the casing of it anyway I thought perhaps a more adventurous approach may be in order :P Any ideas where I might be able to adapt the case for optimum cooling? Knowledge of better performance fans that will fit inside the allocated space? Possiblity of bettering the venturi air flow from the CPU heatsink? Adaptations/modification of the heatsink?[/COLOR] [COLOR="Indigo"]for those with an issue of heat I would reccomend you check out this manufacturer of thermal compound: [url]http://www.arcticsilver.com/#[/url][URL="http://www.arcticsilver.com/#"][/URL] I used Silver 5 and got it off eBay cheaper with the cleaner and purifier. This won't drastically improve it, but it will lower your temperatures. - Although as someone has pointed out most are familiar with this anyway lol[/COLOR] My goal is to lower my temperature another 10 degrees under full load. Purely for the achievement of it without the aid of external cooling devices. [/QUOTE]
