VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MBP 13" EARLY 2015 - PLEASE HELP!

Hey everyone!


I'm facing a very weird problem with my MacBook Pro 13" early 2015 even if I'm on IDLE.

Due to this, I decided to completely clean its fans and change its thermal paste to Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, which is famously known because of its great non-conductive properties and thermal isolation.


*Before repasting, I used to have over 60°C on IDLE!!! Not to mention when I was watching YouTube videos or even web browsing through Google Chrome, temperatures were above 75-85°C!!!

*After repasting, I didn't notice any significant change: IDLE temperatures were between 50-60°C and 68-80°C while web browsing ang watching some YouTube videos!

Are this temperatures normal? Or is my computer suffering of overheating or something like that?


I'm really going nuts with this problem because it makes my machine very very slow, unresponsive and unvearable when I put it in my lap or even write something in it. Please help me guys, I don't know what to do in this case.


What do you recommend me to do in order to solve this problem?


Thank you so much for your time!

Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures

Seems normal. They run warm.


Make sure you are on flat hard surface for adequate ventilation.

Lap, bed, pillow is not so good.


Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
