I just replaced the cap, and it boots OK after some struggle, which I resolved with SMC and PRAM reset. Also replaced a corrupt HDD with a good one. But there is still too much heat according to HW sensor: Up to 94C in CPU1,2,3 and 71C at PCH. I checked the heatpipe as far as visible with board in, but did not see the liquid residue. Any clue where to look from here? Should I take off the heatpipe and put in new thermal paste?
