Hey guys, I bought an 2017 MBP 15" a couple months ago as a general usage machine, with light gaming on the go(2.9 GHz i7, 1TB SSD, 16 GB RAM, Radeon Pro 560 4GB for $2000 USD, it made sense in 2018, the price is not the point) While I use macOS on the go, and have no problems there, I do the bulk of my serious work under Windows/Boot Camp (while connected to a DisplayLink USB-C dock, so battery cycles are not a concern); however, when I run games, the CPU runs super hot! (Overwatch at 1080p w/ 75% render reaches 90C, Destiny II at 1080 w/ 50% render reaches 98C)
I understand that the thermals in the 2017 model should not be that hot when compared to the 2018 i9 model, and I'm currently thinking on re-pasting the CPU and GPU. Would you say this is the best course of action? Does anyone have experience facing these problems?
Edit: I am aware of fan management solutions like MacsFanControl, and I already use them - otherwise this laptop could be used to fry an egg
