How to Improve MacBook Pro Performance and Thermals

eh. instead of buying $400 screwdrivers and opening up the chassis to mess with the thermal paste, i've fixed my 2015 mbp thermal issues by getting a $15 usb laptop cooling pad on amazon.

works like a charm, even with multiple editing sessions on many monitors.

edit: i misread the price of the screwdrivers. I still recommend a cooling pad. High power draw is usually when I'm using extra monitors at a desk anyways.

$400 screwdrivers? The screwdrivers pictured were 349 rupees ~ $5.

I had to do a double-take when the he said the paste cost "740". I don't know much about thermal paste so I could've believed it was dollars if it was really something special. But then I noticed the "Rs." beneath the image.

so now you use even more energy to cool down warmth from using too much energy?
