Step 1

My mid-2013 MacBook Air requires a pentalobe P4 driver, not a pentalobe P5 driver. I got a set of P1 - P6 so it wasn't an issue for me.

Do I need the artic silver thermal paste? I know the guide does not mention it, but a repair guy I went to first included it in the quote they gave me to fix the fan ($200 for parts and work for a fan replacement)

Mary Austin Morgan - Yanıt

Arctic silver is a great thermal paste, but in my experience the swapping of the fans does not require any thermal paste. Thermal paste is usually used in between the connections of the computer's processor heat sink(s) and the processor, as well as the graphics card and the heat sinks.
