A few months ago I replaced my late 2011 logic board with a mid-2012 one because my logic board died . I removed the old heatsink from the 2011 board and put it on the new board. Everything fit perfectly and I put it all back together. I am reading from other similar issues that this could be a heatsink issue. Could someone elaborate on what the actual problem might be with the heatsink or if it could be an issue with my application of the paste? I don’t think it’s the temperature. It never gets that hot. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Put the old board back in and take it to an ASP and have them replace the logic board for free under this program: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro…
