I have an older MacBook Pro (the old steel design). It overheats like crazy and shuts down. I took it apart, and reapplied thermal paste, but after a while it just crapped out again. I used to put ice packs under it to run it (really smart with the condensation :p ) anyway, what I want to know is can I frankenstein it and take out the logic board and put a liquid cooled unit on the CPU and GPU and get it running cool?
