Hey guys! So i have an early 2011 2.2ghz MBP that consumed.. uhm.. a little beer through the keyboard. Being a knob, I didn't take out the battery or anything, but got fairly lucky as it still works.
I've taken it apart a few times to give the logic board a good cleaning with a non-conductive alcohol solution. I've also replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver 5. It still performs decently on basic tasks like web browsing and alike, but anything more demanding really kicks up temps and fans. I can't remember what kind of temps and processor usage % I was getting earlier while watching 1080p Youtube clips for example, but now those take the machine to 80-90c and 40-50 % on the processor. Is this normal?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
