Hi all...
I have a CoreDuo MacBook Pro late '06 model. This is my first Mac. I have had it 3 months and am now using it daily. It still has the 100 gig factory hard drive. I have purchased a Seagate 500 gig hard drive and plan to install it shortly. My question is while I have the machine open does the group think I should go ahead an clean and replace the thermal paste?
According to iStat with the machine on AC fully charged and 50% load watching Hulu after 5 minutes the temp levels off at around 80 degrees Celsius. The fans RPM vary from 1500 to 3000. I usually only use the machine for xcode, word, safari, itunes, excel. Rarely atch Youtube or Hulu.
So should I go ahead replace the paste or just go with the hard drive only.
Thanks.....
