Recently purchased a used Macbook Pro 2016 with 16GB 256GB and didn’t know these have thermal issues… when overheating there’s a a darkening of the lcd where the dock is supposed to be..
Anyways, fresh installed Monterey 12.7.6 … then installed OCLP 2.4.0 direct to the drive, restarted and then Software Update detected and directly updated to Sequoia 15.5
Initially was laggy during the first few reboots until Root Patches were applied… used Onyx to do maintenance stuff, rebuild spotlight index…
To deal with the overheating issues I installed TG Pro (fan control) as well as Turbo Boost Switcher Pro to allow the CPU to stick to it’s native frequency and disable turbo boost…
So far everything works except things that need T2 chip like iPhone mirroring… graphic glitch with the wifi icon but negligible… still there’s a slight 1-3sec delay when you are in the System Settings… touchbar / touchID simply works!
Overall I’m grateful for the good work that OCLP guys has done helping us who can’t afford new macs.
