Apple REALLY doesn't know how to apply thermal paste.
Temperature before:
Idle: ~70C
Load: 95C+ (Highest I saw was 97C)
Case Temp: Too hot to handle.
Temperature After:
Idle: ~40C
Load: ~60C
Case Temp: Barely warm.
What did we learn here kids? Apple makes great products, but thermal paste should be left to grown ups- not children in chinese assembly lines.
Look at how much paste I was able to remove in solid chunks!!!
