Howdy,
I recently bought the base i9 16" Macbook Pro and use it mainly for MacOS for rendering and Software Dev. I also have bootcamp running mainly for some medium-heavy gaming and have Mac Fan Control installed alongside Throttlestop. I have turbo boost disabled in Throttlestop and custom settings for MFC set.
(Left-side fan CPU PECI 50-68c, Right-side fan GPU PECI 50-68c). - General Preset
(Left-side fan CPU PECI 60-78c, Right-side fan GPU PECI 60-78c). - Gaming Preset
The temps seem to be pretty good CPU and GPU around 52-55c Max: 60c at IDLE with the fans running around 2000-2200 RPM using my General Preset
The max temp it will usually hit in games is around 79-82c with High settings in most games (Using my Gaming Preset) which I feel is okay (would be worried if it started to dip over low 80s.
I was mainly wondering if there are any tricks or tweaks that I can use in Throttlestop or within windows settings to help keep thermals lower than above? i've heard that you can't undervolt the CPU with these new models although I haven't done a tonne of research and was wondering if anyone could lend some help / advice?
NOTE: These thermals are when the device is plugged into power and not hooked up to an external display, although I would like to in the near future (1080p 75Hz Monitor)
Cheers,
Cal
