Hello everyone
I have an Imac 5k-27' 2020 and for some time now, the fan has been turning on unexpectedly.
I downloaded the Macs Fan Control app which tells me 0 turns.
I don't have any demanding applications open and I have 32 GB of RAM installed.
I already try to reboot, disconnected...
I've seen a lot of people on here talking about returning the M3 Max or going with the M3 Pro over the M3 Max because they want improved battery life or quieter fans. If that is the only thing holding you back—don't do it. What if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds? I was...
About a year ago my trusty MacPro3,1 decided to start running it’s IO fan at a constant full speed. I tried the usual SMC and PRAM resets, and renewed the thermal paste in attempt to resolve, but it made no difference.
It looks like the issue is the MCP Diode temperature sensor which reads a...
MACBOOK PRO 2011 - 13 INCH - HIGH SIERRA 10.13.6
1GB SSD - 16GB RAM
Amazingly this beast still going.
I can run Adobe PS, AI + PREM as well as 50 tabs on Firefox, and it holds out.
Right now I have FOREFOX (30 TABS), ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR + THUNDERBIRD and it's ok.
Sometimes though the fan...
Hey everyone,
does anyone know if there is a difference in fans and/or airflow in the 14" and 16" Macbooks?
I'm about to buy my first own Macbook soon (so far I've only ever had one that was given to me by my workplace) and while I really like the bigger screen of the 16", I prefer the...
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...
I have an old Mac Pro 4,1 workhorse. It has the ATI Radeon HD 4870 PCIe video card, which occupies the lower two of the Mac Pro's four PCI slots. It tends to overheat in the summer and fail, so I'd like to install a Fox 2 exhaust / extractor fan above it. Looks like the intake of the fan will...
I have a 2018 Macbook air A1932 and the fan has stopped working. I took it to a repairer who replaced the fan, he tested the new fan and said it was functional but didn't trial it while the computer was on and using CPU. Now that I have my computer back the fan still does not turn on and the...
Hey,
I have an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) running High Sierra. The shop I got it from upgraded the storage to a 1 TB Solid State SATA Drive and installed Mac Fan Control on it.
When they gave it back to me it had these settings -
ODD - Constant 3800
HDD - Sensor CT1000BX500SSD1 (start at 42...
Hello,
Yesterday we just bought an M1 iMac from a nearby Apple Store for my wife. I didn't have time to use it then but today when I turned it on, I've started hearing this high pitched sound. It's low in volume but constant and I don't need to come close to hear this. I'm able to pick this...
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...
Anyone willing to record the sound a macmini m1 makes at 100% fan noise?
I have a macbookpro m1, and though very silent in general, the fan is extremely loud at 100% with a high pitch that's annoying. I'm curious if the macmini m1 has a more tolerable 100% fan noise.
Greatly appreciated.
So guys!
Need yours master help.
My machine MacBook Air mid 2012, 13 inches, which I have just replaced the fan, now, as soon as I turn the Mac on, the fan starts medially. I have no complain about the noise, it sounds really smooth, but is still trickling... sounds not normal. The...
My 2015 MacBook Pro 15" finds it hard to drive an external 4k display, and the fans go crazy when watching YouTube full screen, even 720p.
This is over DisplayPort, and also happened with a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" nTB. I use it in clamshell mode, so it doesn't even have to drive 2 displays...
- Are the fans always on on the Macbook Pro (any Butterfly or later)? (Have Fanny monitoring app, says minimum around 2k rpm always.
2. Is there a ways to disable fans and thus force the CPU to throttle?
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).
I've got a top-of-the-line 2015 MBPr. Oh, why did I ever thought to take the top model?! It kills me with unreasonable noise - as soon as dGPU is invoked it starts to whine, just watching a YT video, around very reasonable 60C - and 60-70% fanspeed. For nothing
Even when I stop it, it makes...
I'm having an issue with my 2019 13" MacBook Pro where the fans quickly ramp up to what sounds like full speed when attending a WebEx meeting through Citrix. Curiously, using the WebEx app directly from the laptop (not through Citrix) gives much lower fan speeds that I would consider normal for...
Hello all,
our normally good working iMac 27” 5K from End 2015 has a defects since some weeks.
The Fan turns up and the performance drops down, so it is not possible to work on the machine.
I tried to install the newest macOS, restart with D = no errors.
TG Pro displayed that the Sensor “Power...
Hello dear community,
I registered myself in the forum today and hope for concentrated "expertise"! ;-) and maybe your help with a little problem.
