This is a 4yo video but my MacBook AIR is 4yo and it WORKS! Thank you!! It was crazy--my fan never turned off and typing was painfully slow. Thumbs up, way up for this video!

This definitely fixed my issue! i dropped my old Macbook a few days ago and it was going so slow and the fans where going so hard afterwards. This did the trick! Thank you!

Have had issues lately where my MBP mid 2012 would just turn back on after shutting down. This video helped more than Apple's guides. Thanks!

I was very skeptical about this fix. I was a fool. This guy is a genius. My Mac was awful.. slow, fan on all the time. I did this fix, and it works better than ever. Thanks. Very much. ❤
