Hi all,

My intake 3 fan is spinning up to 2000-3000 rpm and stays there never goes down.

This generally happens every day after the computer is on for about an hour or two. Web browsing, composing with logic, rendering in after effects, doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing and can't trigger it on purpose. But some days it doesn't happen at all.

Im monitoring temps and nothing is above 40c except "Platform controller hub die " at 54c which seems to be its normal temp?


Apple care support has been 100% useless so hoping someone here has an idea of what might be going on.

Upgrading to Big Sur was their only idea for a fix and that did nothing.

Computer was disassembled and cleaned thoroughly, no change.

Peripherals and drives disconnected but issue persists.

NVRAM and SMC reset.

Mac fan control lets me ramp down the fan but then my CPU starts getting throttled to a crawl by the OS. Yet temps never rise past 50c.


Thanks in advance

That seemed strange as these are normal temps. Did you accidentally set up manual fan control rules?

I can barely hear mine unless I do sth really really intensive.

Nope the only thing im doing is using mac fan control & TG pro to bring the fan down when it ramps up

You better post the whole temperature read screen capture to here. So that other people can see apart from the normal readings, if there is any missing temperature reading, which can also trigger high fan speed and CPU throttling.

Running 2 fan control software at the same time can cause all kinds of issues.
I'd uninstall both , do a SMC and NVRAM reset and test without these first.
If all is good, I'd install either MFC or TGPro.
