    MacBook Fan is Driving me CRAZY please help

    Just got a refurbished 15" MacBook Pro, Mid 2015 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16GB RAM 1TB storage It seems to be working fine in any other aspect, but it heats up and the fan goes on frequently and loudly.

    MP 1,1-5,1 Loud Fans - 2012, 5.1

    I run a small computer store and recently bought a dozen 2012 Mac pros (Xeon 2.4) Half the units have this issue: Upon startup, the fans run at 100%. I've isolated the problem to the processor tray. Swapping the processor tray will move the problem over to the other computers. I also tried...

    MacBook Pro: Fans run full speed w. external monitor

    I have a Mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro Retina that usually is pretty quiet when not connected to an external display. However, plugging it into my 24" 2K BenQ monitor, the fans go completely haywire, running somewhere between 5700 RPM and their max (Left: 6156 RPM, Right: 5700 RPM). This gets rather...

    Fan Noise and 2017 MBP's

    Has anyone with a 2017 MBP (nTB 13") put in enough mileage to determine how loud/annoying the fan noise is? There's a lot of chatter on the interwebs on the subject, and I'm still torn between a nTB 13" and a 12" rMB mostly because of the fanless, quiet design despite performance/port...

    Super hot and loud fan on Safari

    I haven't had my macbook air long, it is the early 2015 model and is running on OS X El Capitan. Since I can remember, streaming any video (such as from Netflix) will heat the macbook up to the point where it is really quite hot. The fan also gets louder and louder that I have to be wearing...
