Title
Reduce MacBook Pro Core Temperature
Introduction
If you're willing to dig deep in your MacBook Pro and add some stuff that was never meant to be there you could effectively reduce it's core temperature by over 10°C.
This could be particularly beneficial if your MacBook overheats and should be accompanied (if not already done) by a thermal paste change.
The downside: It's a bodge. But it does seem to work.
