fan

Hi all, So I got my G4 Cube onto my desk the other day (after spending around a year on a shelf on display) she’s now setup with Mac OS. 9.2.2 and OS X Jaguar as a working computer and it actually works great with my FireWire 400 capture box And Final Cut Pro Version 3. Something my 15 inch MBP...

Hello guys, i bought an old used iMac Late 2013 base model. I decided to install a 512gb ssd nvme crucial + mac adapter and leave the stock 1Tb hdd as it is. Everythings work well, i installed Catalina but i noticed that the main (and only) fan always spin at 1200rpm. In this imac the minimum...

Hi guys, I'm so sorry for asking this. But i've tried to search around but couldn't find a guide. (I've also combed through the Apple Technician Guide for it but to no avail). Is there a way to remove the fan from both the CPU heatsinks (non-destructively) cleaning and maintenance? I can see...

Hi all! For about a month now,on my 24" mid 2007 iMac, the CPU fan is working in full, constantly, and wow, it's loud, unbearably loud..! I've looked in forums, in apple, everywhere and can't find a solution. (see photo for data) Most common reason is due to a replacement of the HDD. I...

Hello, I just received the new M1 mac mini, however, contrary what a lot of users/reviews say, the fan of my mac mini is constantly on. Not at full speed I guess, but I hear it fanning all the time. It starts even before I enter my password - it seems to have no relation with what I'm doing...

Hi, I just replaced my late 2013 iMac 27" with a 2020 model to get the Big Sur experience :) Unfortunately my new iMac sounds strange - the fan make a clacking or engine like sound all the time when running at lowest RPM. iMac is 10 days old and does it ever since. Is this normal? I hope not...

Hi everyone. I was cleaning the inside of my MacBook Pro and slightly bent part of what I think is one of the fans vents or filters? After turning it back on I was greeted with pink and sometimes green graphics distortion. When I put hard pressure on the shell it would go away. I then...

Hi Maccers, We got a 27" mid 2011 and some days ago the GPU to take it's retirement. The new GPU arrived, iMac is dismantled and before mounting everything back in it's place I'm trying find out how to improve it's internal cooling. Is there anyone here who added extra fans or did something...

Hello everyone, I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and I’ve been having a issue with the fans ramping up a lot louder within the past couple of months + some issues with the computer not preforming as well. I installed Fanny Fan widget and when under load (converting 1080p video)...

Hey all, The basic question is in the header - if I'm running a 16" with an iGPU, but there's also an eGPU driving the display, is the iGPU still available to the system for speeding up things like video rendering? More Detail: I have a new 16" arriving any day now. The ARM transition sent me...

This issue has been a while. When I connect my MacBook pro to an external display, the fan goes up crazy. More than 6k rpm: I am not sure this is normal. In fact I have a vague memory of connecting it to 4k display without this much fan noise before. Any hints/suggestions of what could be wrong...

So I have this weird issue with my Mid-2014 Macbook Pro 15" (2.8, 16gb ram, dual graphics): Left fan always shows 0 rpm in various fan control apps. After opening the bottom case, I see the left fan is clearly running idle at minimum, but won’t increase speed after maxing the speed through the...

Hi All.. I have a 2018 13" MBA - 1.6GHz i5, 16GB 550GB. I use my MBA with two HP External monitors and the MBA open. No other devices are connected. I perform, what I consider to be basic tasks, Microsoft Applications, Word, Excel, Safari for 99.9% of my browsing. I use other apps such as...

Hi I'm waiting for my order on a 2020 Air base model bumped to i5 cpu. Every day I get big doubts, especially when reading and watching what people say on the interwebs. Let's say heat or noise is unacceptable.. How could I change that? I would be fine having a 2020 mba that maxes out turbo...

I've got an early 2008 Mac Pro. The label on the Mac says Model No. A1186, Mac Pro/3.0. The front fan has failed and I wanted to replace it. I ordered a used fan from MacPartsDepot, but that turned out to be a mistake. While their website shows the correct fan, the one that was delivered is...

Hello! I am really new to PowerPC ibooks, and I recently got my hands on a ibook G3 500mhz model. To say the least it is a amazing ancient computer(coming up on 20 years old!). I have had one issue with it though. The fan never turns on. I was reading about how the ibook G3 model were in the...

I need to replace my rear CPU cage fan. It is starting to get noisy indicating bearing wear. It looks like I should be able to remove the fan after sliding out the CPU tray without removing the full cage. It appears to be held in place by a tab/clip. The plug might be a bit of fiddle but looks...

I share this information with you because I saw it coming up in several Threads if the 16" MBP connected to an eGPU does (and if how much) run quiter compared to having the monitor connected to the internal dGPU. And it does. Obviously. Quite a bit, in my personal use case - Webdevelopment (CPU...

Hey, I have upgraded my early 2008 2,1 Xserve with 1x 2,8 GHz Quad Core Xeon with a second same CPU. This was a few years ago in late 2013 and have never realy used it. Only a few hours. In late 2016 the trouble started with an issue of CPU B FAN 2 IN spinning at 18 - 19k rpm all the time...

Hello I purchased a laptop cooler pad but when I connect it with my Macbook it does not work. Do I have to install drivers or something to work? It works with my win 10 laptop without just a usb connection but I don't find an answer online why it does not cool on the Mac. I use my powerbank so...
