Hello guys,

I own a Macbook Air A1465 from about 6 years. I am currently facing overheating issues with my mac. One of the Cpu core fans especially the one on left of keyboard is making whizzing sound and keyboard is getting heated too. I tried Fan Control Softwares but to no avail.

I tried giving Mac to Apple Service centre but they said they wont take up any obsolete product for servicing. I am trying third-party service centres. They have asked me that they are trying lookup for the Macbook Air A1465 exhaust fan component, ma de by Vendor “Concorde”. Can you please assist me where can I get it or how I can fix this overheating issue?? Thanks.

The liquid in your heat sink may have leaked out. Look at an oily type of stain on your logic board under the crimped end of the heat sink: MacBook Air 11" Mid 2012 Heat Sink Replacement I would also replace the thermal paste.
