Chosen Solution
Because i want to have a few more air intakes. I have asked a professional (CNC Machining) to add a few more cool air intakes, and to remoce a few aluminium Bars from the hot air “exhaust”. Similar to this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ima…
I’ve already changed the thermal paste, cleaned everything and it still runs way to hot. Update (07/22/2019) @danj Here’s the TG-Pro screenshot.
Altering the case is a bit extreme! Removing one or two of the cross members of the exhaust fan hole is about all I would do. Drilling holes will mess up the internals air flows which could cook your system more! Let’s see what other things you can do to reduce the heat load first. Often times I solve issues like this by making other changes. I don’t think removing the stand will offer any improvement in the systems cooling. You’ll want to make room to get access to the fan I would just go from the other side as you’ll need to remove the logic board and the fan assembly any ways so as not to damage them. Update (07/22/2019) OK I see two issues here! First I suspect you are hitting a limit with your PCIe blade SSD as its your boot drive. You need to get a bigger blade SSD given what you are using your system for. Thats why Light Room is sluggish as you are running out of free space for it to use as scratch space. You also likely need to boost your RAM as well. The deeper RAM reduces the amount of Virtual RAM needed. This also gets into how many windows (apps/docs) you have open at the same time. If you can reduce the amount of active windows that will also help. As to the second issue your heat sink has failed! The cooling liquid within it has leaked out. If you look at the CPU Proximity it is not running as hot as your CPU cores and the PECI. You’ll need to get a new heat sink.
