So, if you own a Mac, you might be aware of how hot these computers get, but they're REALLY powerful. This is not permenant, but should work to control heat for a little bit until you have to replace the pads later on because the adhesive will wear out

By looking at this guide, you can drop your macs heat levels and add some ergonomic help to it.
The only advice i have is use heat tolorant ones
Mine dropped from 180 at the most to 122 degrees or less.
Just be careful where these go on the computer. However,on the unibodys like I used to do this, DONT put them on the factory pads, they will break and need to be glued on or something.( I learned that the hard way)
Heck,this may even fix broken pad issues
