heat

I recently purchased an M3 Max 14" Pro with 36GB ram, 2TB storage and I'm experiencing excessive heating and fan activity just running a simple Xcode project on the M3 Max. On iStatistico Pro, CPU cores 1-7 are showing around 180-200+ F temperatures and fans over 6k rpm within a minute of...

Have a 15 Pro Max here, white, 1tb. Never had a phone get this hot. Can go from not hot to uncomfortably hot just by browsing the web and listening to music in the background. Do something "crazy" like actually download some songs from Apple Music, and be prepared to put that phone down, it's so...

15p gets quite warm while just streaming music playing through its speakers. None of my previous phones ever got even remotely warm playing tunes. It’s as warm as it is playing games. I didn’t want to add on to the heat complaints, but this is weird imo. I wish I had screenshots of how my 11 did...

macbook air M1 i play 1/2h a day sometimes (2h in a row, so), asphalt 8, optimised for apple silicon, a game apparently not too intensive the temperatures are quite high, around 80 degrees celcius (175 Fahrenheit) Is it very bad for the battery to suffer from such a temperature for more than...

Hello, The MacBook Pro 2014 have a minimum fan speed around 2000 rpm. I want to increase this minimum speed to 3000 rpm. I want my mac never go below this limit. I specify that I dont want to block fan at this speed. If my mac heats up, it has to go over 3000 rpm. I think 3000 rpm minium can...

After years with a 2015 MBP (13" and 15"), and a brief terrible time with the 2017 MBP nTB, I upgraded to a 14" MBP M1 Max with 24 GPU courses - widely reported as being the sweetspot, with more GPU cores diminishing value. Sadly the machine had issues so it was returned to Apple. They won't...

Hello all, The release of the new MacBook Pro equipped with the M2 Max chip has been met with some challenges. One of the major issues that many users have reported is the increased heat levels generated by the M2 Max chip compared to the previous M1 Max model. This has led to some performance...

I’ll be getting a 16” M2 Max MBP whenever they come out to (among other things) do 3D work - modeling, texturing, rendering, that sort of thing. I’ll be traveling a lot and the laptop is likely to see light abuse, so I was thinking of getting a hard case like the UAG Plyo. My question is: will...

Hi all, my trusty 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) all of a sudden just shut down without being under load and wouldn't properly start up anymore. After it cooled off, it will boot again, but within 5 minutes or so before it just shuts down again. I read the threads about the temperature issues and cleaned...

HAs anyone tried to play various YouTube videos on new MBA and if so does it heat up? If you have numerous tabs open like stock ticker tabs where numbers are constantly flashing and changing with video playing on YouTube or perhaps from a Bloomberg news on trading platform does it slow down or...

Hi! I want to trade my old MBA (2013) for a new one. I’m writing my thesis, and the Mac warms too much, and gets beach balls all over the place. I was thinking in a second handed M1 MacBook. Honestly, I’d prefer the Pro just for the fan. What is your experience? Does the Air warms when...

My ecobee thermostat and Home app give me the option to set my thermostat to auto heat/cool (as opposed to just heat or just cool). Assuming this works properly, would there be any good reason(s) not to use this feature? It would remove the step of having to manually change the setting between...

Hi all, I would like to hear from your experience with M1 iMacs, as I've had this one for a month and a half and the temperature I was able to monitor due to a problem rose last week. I4ve had to incidents where it rose big time and the fans started to be very loud although nothing much was...

This morning i transferred some files from my iMac to my 15" MBP (2016) using it in target disk mode, then i put it in my backpack to get to work, but since i was late i forgot to switch it off and just assumed it would shut off when i had closed the lid. Unfortunately that was not the case and...

Just wondering if there are any differences between the thermal solutions (heat sink, fan size, etc) inside the new 14’’ and 16’’ MBPs. For example the 16’’ might benefit from larger heat sinks? Also is it the same heat sink/fans when you choose M1 Pro vs M1 Max? Assuming that M1 Max would...

I was hoping for some guidance here. I just recently moved, so my trusty old Mac Pro 5,1 tower is under my new desk. As everyone knows, the tower puts out a ton of heat. Now that it's close to my legs, it's relatively warm down there, not hot or unbearable but just a bit of an odd feeling...

so yesterday night I used the Facebook app for about I think 10 minutes when I noticed that the upper left side next to the camera was really hot. Actually it wasn't the battery because I know that the battery is located on the right side under the camera so it has to be the logic board. My...

Hey all, so a while back I had a friend give me an A2159 (2019 MacBook Pro) chassis with everything in it except for the motherboard to toy around with. I decided a little while back that it was time to buy a board off of eBay to see if I can get it working. So, I buy an untested board for 200$...

I bought a second-hand Mac Mini (5,2) for Plex. CPU Proximity temperature often raises above 70°-80° (when copying files). Should I be worried / consider returning the Mac Mini? Or is it in the normal threshold (meaning I can probably use it for a couple of years to come).

Hi, fellow Apple Users So im new here and I have been searching for answer for this everywhere but can't find it so have ended up here, looking to get some help So im using a 2018 13” i5 8gb MacBook Pro, with plenty of free space on the hard drive So I've been using it for 2 years with no...
