    Temperatures too high on MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro

    Hello! I installed a program for working with fans on my laptop (I bought it new six months ago) and noticed that the coolers were spinning even at 50 degrees: at this time only Notes, Safari and Telegram were running. The reviews say that this laptop works at 30 degrees without tasks, but for...

    2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro hitting 112C

    Hello everyone, I recently tried a new benchmark, a Python program that does matrix multiplication on big matrices, lasts about 2 minutes total, and I noticed that the 8-core M1 Pro was hitting 112C (saw 113 once). What's strange to me is that the cores were still at their max clock speed (2064...

    MacBook Air 2020 i3 help- I keep getting around 50 - 60c (with jumps to 70-80 when loading certain web pages + fans at 2700) simply browsing on safari with 2 tabs. This seems really high - especially for an i3 ??? Can anyone share what they get? (please use actual temp readings) Thanks

    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)...

    My MacBook Pro Fans Turned On For The First Time Today After 3 Years of Ownership.

    Hello, So I've owned my MacBook Pro for a few years now. It is the non-touchbar version 13 inch of the MacBook Pro's released in 2017 and I'm very surprised because today for the first time in years of owning this wonderful MBP, the fans turned on loudly. And by loudly I mean they spun really...

I fresh installed HS when it came out (25/9) so I don't think it is because of...
