I had already tried the usual stuff like resetting the SMC, or the PRAM/NVRAM, with poor results. That was until I got really tired of the noisy fans (always running at the max speed of 6K RPM), and I started to wonder whether I should bring it in. The CPU is rated to work just fine at a temperature of up to 105C, so until recently I didn’t really care too much about the temperatures since, after all, the Mac seemed to work fairly OK and I didn’t have any other problems with it. The laptop got really, really hot at times to the point that touching it for more than a couple of seconds was often more likely painful than just uncomfortable. Since I purchased it, however, it has always been plagued with excessive heat issues: even 85C in idle or with very, very light load! If I said that I could perhaps fry an egg on its surface at times, I don’t think I would be too far from the truth. It’s a thing of beauty and I love it, as I have the previous Macs I’ve had the pleasure to work with both at home and at work. I also have a better performing Hackintosh at home, but because of the portability I find myself using the MBP more.

My main machine these days is a mid-2010 15″ Macbook Pro powered by a dual core i5 (2.53GHz) CPU. Why would you want to reapply thermal paste on a MacBook Pro? A little story.
