I came across the following post that discusses some of the thermal issues currently found in the macbook pros. According to the poster, Apple (or their suppliers) is incorrectly applying thermal paste to the CPU dies in the macbook pros, which is leading to higher than expected operating termperatures. The picture he presents from one of Apple’s training manuals is amusing, and if they are following the suggestion in the picture, they are clearly misappropriating thermal grease. Great post, and good analysis!
