7 High Temperature / High Fan speeds
Hello everyone!
I have acquired a 2010 MacBook Pro and it has a really bad overheating problem.
Is it supposed to get really hot? Is it because of the old CPU and GPU and they just run hot?
I replaced the thermal paste and it still gets hot with slightly better thermals. I wanted to try and see if liquid metal would be an option although I’m not sure if the heat sink is copper or aluminum since I know it will happily eat away at it in a matter of hours.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: Here are the screenshots. I hope they help
Es esta una buena pregunta?

How about getting a better view of the systems thermals. Install this app TG Pro. Take a snapshot of the main window (you may need to grow the window so all of the sensors and fans are visible) while idling and a second once you have it working for a good day so we can see the high water marks. Post both here for us to see Agregar imágenes a una pregunta existente
Don't use Liquid Metal! It won't help you here! Once we see what's happening we can guide you on whats needed.

@activoid - It does look like your heatsink has failed! Review @mayer answer below.

I took it apart once again and didn't find any stains. However I did find that when I last replaced the thermal paste it was a sloppy job and I probably didn't put enough on it. As of me typing this I am averaging at around 140 *F. But ill try to use the computer throughout the day doing normal everyday taks and see if it will stay below 100 *C
