Surprising this system does not use any TIM !!
See for your self review the IFIXIT teardown here: Retina MacBook 2016 Teardown. And this IFIXIT guide: Retina MacBook 2016 Logic Board Replacement
This ultra low power CPU based system has its limits. It's not designed to be more than a web surfer or school notebook.
I think you'll need to get a more powerful system if your system is thermally throttling.

Then why would I bought this i5 1.6ghz model rather than m3 1.4ghz....
%#*@.
Intel altered the naming which I think may have confused you: I5-7Y54 chip and the m7-6Y75 chip Also note the TDP is the same!
