Fan & Interior Cleaning
Введение
Перейти к шагу 1Dust can accumulate in all corners of a MacBook Pro, significantly affecting cooling. With some compressed air and a few screwdrivers, however, you can easily clean it out, reducing your CPU temperatures, fan noise, throttling, and power consumption.
If your fan assembly is relatively clean, you can skip the In-Place Fan Cover Removal steps. If, however,
- The fan blades are visibly caked in dust
- You need easier access to the heat sink for cleaning
- You suspect there might be clumps of dust in the fan assembly that are too large to blow out with air
Then you can remove the fan assembly cover for full access—without having to remove the heat sink and worrying about reapplying thermal paste—by following this guide.
