Hello,

I've had this Mac for a year now and the temps all of the sudden have gotten out of control. Now I can't run games I used to be able to run fine before, my CPU throttles after about 30 seconds in-game and my FPS drops to 5-10 FPS. MY fans are spinning at ~6,000 but they don't seem to be keeping the temperature down. I've already switched the thermal paste twice and cleaned out the fans. I've reset PRAM NVRAM and reinstall OSX and I'm still having the same issues. Can someone chime in to see if the difference between my CPU to CPU heatsink temperature is considered normal on a MBP?
