Common Causes of MacBook Pro Overheating
Dust Accumulation
Dust buildup blocks ventilation and reduces cooling efficiency, causing internal components to overheat.
Thermal Paste Degradation
Old thermal paste loses effectiveness, reducing heat transfer from CPU/GPU to heat sinks.
Fan Malfunction
Failing or blocked fans cannot effectively remove heat from internal components.
Intensive Applications
Resource-heavy software like video editing, gaming, or multiple applications running simultaneously.
Environmental Factors
Hot environments, direct sunlight, or poor ventilation around the device contribute to overheating.
Hardware Issues
Faulty temperature sensors, damaged heat sinks, or failing internal components.

How Our Cooling Diagnostics Work
We start by pulling thermal logs from macOS, checking the fan tables stored in the SMC, and running extended stress tests to reproduce the throttling you are seeing. The results tell us whether the fault is mechanical (fans, heat pipes, thermal paste) or electronic (power rails, temperature sensors, charging circuitry).
Apple Silicon models get extra attention—we capture baseline temps for the unified memory and media engines, inspect the vapor chamber for staining or leaks, and verify that performance cores are scaling correctly under load. Intel models receive VRM and GPU thermal audits so we can recommend targeted upgrades such as thicker thermal pads or fan retrofits.
Before you pick up your MacBook Pro we document idle and load temperatures, fan RPM curves, and noise levels so you know exactly how your system performed before and after the repair. You also receive care instructions that cover how long thermal paste needs to cure and best practices to keep the airflow path clean.
