fan

Hi, I am this >< close to buying an iMac Pro (10 core). However, I am an audio engineer who needs as close as possible to silence in my studio. Over the last 20 years, I have gone to great lengths and untold expense to achieve silence. I have seen articles and YouTube videos for months...

This isn't a Mac-specific accessory, but I figured other people who have a fan at their desk might enjoy this review. I constantly use a fan while working on my MacBook in order to keep both myself and my laptop cool. Last week, I received a review unit for a rechargeable USB fan, and I have to...

Hi guys, i'm looking for a new macbook pro to buy and doing some research since i'm considering the model 2016-2017 with touchbar 13 inch and 2015 15 inch. Well i do like the macbook pro 2015 inch more because i really hate the keyboard on the new macbook pro, its design is really sexy though...

What just happened? I was on a CNBC page using Safari watching a YouTube video. Safari was the only thing I had open. Only a single tab. Suddenly my brand new 2017 13" MBP (non-touch bar) started heating up. I get this message at the top of the page: "This webpage is using significant memory...

Long story short I decided clean the fans of my late 2016 MBP and, since the laptop was already opened, i also opted to replace the thermal paste, now after having reassemble it the left fan is constantly spinning at 100% while the right one spins at minimum speed even under heavy load. I tried...

So I went to the apple store to pick up a 'MacBook', but was convinced not to by an apple store employee who claimed that the MacBook Pro also is a fanless computer model? Could it be that she was wrong, I've done some searching and I think it has a single fan in the back. Also has anyone...

Four months ago, I got a 15" 2017 MBP and two LG 27UD58P-B 4K monitors. Monitors are connected via passive USB-C to displayport cables. The week or so, my fans run nonstop at what sounds like full speed. If I unplug the external monitors, within a few seconds the fans slow down dramatically...

I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini. While following instructions for upgrading my hard drive to an SSD, I disconnected the fan's 4-pin connector from the board and two of the wires came out of the plastic connector. I'm having a really hard time getting them back in there. One side of the plastic for...

Hello everyone, So I've got a very frustrating issue. A while back I replaced my HDD for a new Samsung evo ssd for my mid 2010 iMac. After successfully installing it, the fans from the iMac were blowing at maximum speed. I called my local computer store here in Holland and they told me this...

I am new to iMac and got a 2017 27" iMac for Christmas - all is well until I noticed the constant humming of the fan - It's not loud, but it's audible enough to make the work space noisy. The fan is on constantly @ 1200 rpm or so. I have tried to reset the SMC several times to no avail... Fan...

My MBP Retina, 13-inch, late 2013, 2.4 i5, 8gb RAM with extended apple care is my first mac. The apple care service is useless & very rude. My past laptops were thinkpad, the thinkpad service centre was very nice. They suggested I bring the laptop for cleaning every 6 months or 1 yr and get the...

Hello, I have a late 2016 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Recently, I just checked the temps via iStat Pro and saw that during gameplay gpu temp rises up to 80 Celsius degree. However, the fans were spinning at about 2700 rpm. It was not like that before. Generally, the fans used to kick in and...

Recently my Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) fan has been making a "whirring" noise when running. I tested the speed of the fan and it's at 1297 RPMs, which I believe is a tad under the minimum running speed but could be wrong. (Feel free to correct me on this). As it isn't running on...

I have a 2012 13-inch MBP w/ OSX 10.12.6, 2.5 i5 and 4GB ram I was running some cpu intensive applications, so the fan was spinning very fast and loudly. Suddenly, my mac made a loud clicking noise (I could feel it in the laptop as my hands were on the keyboard, it felt/sounded like something...

I have the new base-level 2017 MacBook Pro 13" (non-****bar). Very often, the fan starts running jstu because I'm playing a simple 720p YouTube video. Even more so when I play it at 1080p so I stopped doing that. The MacBook itself does not get hot, and Activity Monitor does not show any high...

Hey, how are you guys doing? Finally got a 2017 iMac mid tier model. 3,5 i5 CPU 575 GPU 512GB SSD From the first the second on the iMac was very noisy and it just doesn't get any quieter. I didn't even push it or open any programs. I just installed updates and that's it. I used a friend's...

Hi guys! I want to know if I buy, say Tomb Raider or Mafia 2 (or any other compatible game on my MacBook Air) through the App Store and not through Steam or MacGameStore. Will it run like Borderlands 2 which I bought through the App Store and runs without a hitch, as in the fans don't go mad...

First, for the search minded for all of you I have read the following threads: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2009-mac-pro-fan-control.2057079/ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macpro5-1-macs-fan-control-1-4-8-1-totally-out-of-control.2055699/...

I have replaced the HDD in my 2011 27" iMac (10.11.6) with an SSHD. The fan is now running at full speed due to the new drive not having the relevant sensor information. I have fitted one of these 3rd party sensors but the noise persists. I have tried software solutions such as SSD Fan Control...
