    2015 MBP heat and temps

    I'm going to upgrade from mid-2012 macbook pro 13' to 2015 mbp 13'. Main concern for me is a heat. My current 2012 model runs at 60-70C (cpu). I think thats normal, however touching the warm palm rest drives me crazy. (Palm rest sensor shows 34C and battery 37-40C). Are these temps improved...

    m3 vs i5 heat problem

    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...

    powermac g5 that runs too hot, LCS bad?

    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...

    My MacBook Pro overheats when connect to external monitor

    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...

    What processor for heat & battery life?

    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...

    MacBook Pro heating up

    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...

    MBPtb PowerNap - Do the fans ever come on?

    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

    2015 13' rMBP sluggish, Facebook unusable on any browser

    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.

    HELP! Wake for network access causes crash.

    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...

    13" 2016 MBP runs hot

    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 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...
