    Help moving on from early 2020 MBA...

    Hello, So I am usually the person that a lot of my friends come to when they need help picking a Mac and I consider myself pretty adept at being able to recommend the right amount (no more, no less) of what people need. I'm writing because I really don't know what to do for myself. I was using...

    MP 1,1-5,1 MP4,1 2009 CPU heatsink fan

    Hi guys, I'm so sorry for asking this. But i've tried to search around but couldn't find a guide. (I've also combed through the Apple Technician Guide for it but to no avail). Is there a way to remove the fan from both the CPU heatsinks (non-destructively) cleaning and maintenance? I can see...

    Hello, I just received the new M1 mac mini, however, contrary what a lot of users/reviews say, the fan of my mac mini is constantly on. Not at full speed I guess, but I hear it fanning all the time. It starts even before I enter my password - it seems to have no relation with what I'm doing...

    Strange and annoying fan noise in brand new iMac 27" 2020 (incl. audio file)

    Hi, I just replaced my late 2013 iMac 27" with a 2020 model to get the Big Sur experience :) Unfortunately my new iMac sounds strange - the fan make a clacking or engine like sound all the time when running at lowest RPM. iMac is 10 days old and does it ever since. Is this normal? I hope not...

    iGPU *and* eGPU - can the system use both?

    Hey all, The basic question is in the header - if I'm running a 16" with an iGPU, but there's also an eGPU driving the display, is the iGPU still available to the system for speeding up things like video rendering? More Detail: I have a new 16" arriving any day now. The ARM transition sent me...

    MacBookPro (2015model) fan issue when connected to external 4k display

    This issue has been a while. When I connect my MacBook pro to an external display, the fan goes up crazy. More than 6k rpm: I am not sure this is normal. In fact I have a vague memory of connecting it to 4k display without this much fan noise before. Any hints/suggestions of what could be wrong...

    Hi I'm waiting for my order on a 2020 Air base model bumped to i5 cpu. Every day I get big doubts, especially when reading and watching what people say on the interwebs. Let's say heat or noise is unacceptable.. How could I change that? I would be fine having a 2020 mba that maxes out turbo...

    Recommended Place to Order Replacement Fan

    I've got an early 2008 Mac Pro. The label on the Mac says Model No. A1186, Mac Pro/3.0. The front fan has failed and I wanted to replace it. I ordered a used fan from MacPartsDepot, but that turned out to be a mistake. While their website shows the correct fan, the one that was delivered is...

    MP 1,1-5,1 CPU Cage Fan removal question

    I need to replace my rear CPU cage fan. It is starting to get noisy indicating bearing wear. It looks like I should be able to remove the fan after sliding out the CPU tray without removing the full cage. It appears to be held in place by a tab/clip. The plug might be a bit of fiddle but looks...

    Yes the 16" MBP does run quieter with an eGPU on an external Monitor

    I share this information with you because I saw it coming up in several Threads if the 16" MBP connected to an eGPU does (and if how much) run quiter compared to having the monitor connected to the internal dGPU. And it does. Obviously. Quite a bit, in my personal use case - Webdevelopment (CPU...
