heat

I am debating between buying the m3 or the i5 macbook (2017) I cant really do a BTO model. so I can only get one of the two options of the models in the store: m3/256 or the i5/512. I'm pretty sure that power wise the base model (m3) will be enough for me, but I really want that extra storage...

Hey guys, As above I have a 2010 Mac Pro with an upgraded W3690 3.46 hex. What temps are you reading? At the moment we are having a heat wave in the UK and it hit 34 deg C today. The Mac Pro at idle is running in the 52 deg C range and with photosnalysisd running in the background its hitting...

Hi friends :) I am so sorry if this was asked before, because I know the computer is old, but I still like it. I bought a powermac g5 and the seller claimed it works fine. It does turn on and boots into MacOS except that one CPU reaches 83C. The other CPU reaches 40C. I wish I could show you...

Hi, I noticed that my MacBook Pro (13" base model retina display 2016) overheats when connected to any external monitor, I know that the GPU has to do more work to push pixels to displays but I think that it should not be to the limit that it is not comfortable to touch. I checked the Activity...

If I want to order a BTO Macbook Pro, and can choose whichever custom configuration I want, which processor speed should I choose if I want to optimize for least heat and best battery life? eg: does the default processor run cooler because it's slower or hotter because it has to work harder...

Hi, I have an early (I think) 2015 Macbook Pro 13". For the most part it's been great, it's quick and the battery is still excellent. However, recently I have increasingly been experiencing frequent instances where the computer heats up, and the fan starts spinning, from browsing alone. Safari...

Wondering if the fans ever come on during power nap, or if the comp builds up heat during the process? Because I typically keep my MBP in a case Im concerned about excessive heat or the fans sucking air and blowing out air against a case wall. Is there anything to be concerned about? Thanks, G

I've had the 13 inch 2.9ghz rMBP from early 2015 for a while, it's become quite slow to the point where Facebook is just unusable on any browser. Cycle count is only around 120, anything I can do to speed this up a bit? Also gets very warm frequently. Thanks.

I made a post some time ago about a problem with putting my MacBook Pro to sleep, leaving it alone for hours and coming back to find that it was blazing hot, the screen was blacked out, and it was totally unresponsive requiring a forced shutdown and restart. I received some suggestions that it...

Hello, I am interested into a 15-inch MacBook Pro, 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB memory. It is for my work, but I like to play EVE Online in my free time. Is it possible to play this game without a full spinning fan? I don't like it, if my hardware gets...

Just got my late 2016 MacBook Pro Touch 15inch w/ 2.9ghz option and upgraded GPU. So far I cycled through the battery once and am getting 5:38 hours at 99% (Looks like apple put an additional 2 cycles on battery before releasing for purchase). The below screen shot shows my battery status with...

First-time poster, long-time lurker. I picked up a 13" 2016 MBP with touch bar this morning and I'm finding it runs much hotter than I expected. It's maxed out with an i7 3.3 GHz CPU. The fans don't spin up often—in fact, they've only been audible when playing Civ 6—but the keyboard has been...

I've noticed that my iPhone 7 Plus gets quite warm when/after using iMessage, particularly the drawing part and the new GIFs. Anyone confirm this?

I've had an intermittent problem that won't seem to go away. I will put my Macbook Pro to sleep. I confirm that it is asleep. The fans turn off and it cools down. I will leave it at home all day. I will come back after a long day and it is still cool and asleep. I won't touch it. I will...

EDIT: GREAT NEWS 2017-01-26, APPLE HAS RELEASED A BUGFIX IN 10.12.3: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/warning-bugs-in-sierra-which-affect-all-macbook-pro-2010-models.2000559/page-3#post-24237506 Old post (most of this is still relevant too): -------------- Siri stupidly requires the...

Hi, I have a Mac mini (Late 2012) with graphics distortion problem. 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 16GB Ram As you can see in the video its quite messy. I've also noticed that the Mini is running quite hot (currently 70c) This appears to happen most when Firefox is open, enabling hardware...

I've been walking about an hour a day playing Pokemon Go in 100 degree weather. So naturally my iPhone 6 plus doesn't like this. Every time I walk it dims the screen to a level that I can barely see it. Im not complaining, I know this is an extreme condition. I'm just wondering if there is...

I was wondering what kind of battery performance other owners of the top-end MBP 15" Mid-2014 (w/ NVIDIA 750M) are experiencing and would love to hear your thoughts. My system stats via coconutBattery: Age: 22 Months Load Cycles: 980 macOS Battery Status: Good Design Capacity: 8440 mAh (same...

When using it as a normal laptop, such as browsing the web, listening to music it is perfect, no problems. However, when I load up any graphical task such as Minecraft or Photoshop the left hand of the keyboard is almost to hot to touch - it goes to upwards of 100dC Is there much I can do...

I need help. I have an iPhone (what a wonder) 5s, 32 gb, currently running on iOS 9.3 BP 3. While watching some YouTube videos I noticed that my phone heats up like crazy. Not just that, of course. The battery is getting lower and lower way to fast than it should be. While writting this it lost...
