I have recently purchased a Dynamode (8 in 1 hub) to use my quite old Samsung SymcMaster 21" external display. It is connected to my hub via DVI-HDMI cable. It has 2 types of SD cards, 3 USB 3.1, 1 Ethernet up to 1 Gbit, HDMI and USB-C power port.
As soon as I connect hub to MacBook the temperature of Thunderbolt die sensor rises from 35 to 50, if I connect my 1080p display it rises from 32C to 50-60C Celsius degrees on thunderbolt die (depending on what is connected to the hub). The hub metal enclosure itself also gets hot up to 40-45 degrees. But I am not so worried about my hub, I am worried about my MacBook. It’s cpu zone gets significantly hotter, CPU\GPU sensors show 60-68 degrees for CPU/GPU wile its use is within 10-18% stable.
Now I guess if it may be related to a specific hub, not pricey enough to be efficient or whatever else. It costed me 35 USD. A much bigger and almost with the same connectivity hub from Baseus (Enjoyment series, it is as twice as longer than mine and in general quite big) reaches 60 USD, but I am not sure if it help with the heat issue. What temperatures would be reached if it was a 4K display I guess now.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issues? My old MacBook Air mid 2012 operates the same display via thunderbolt 1 adapter and not even half hot as my new MacBook Pro 13 2019))) I’m kinda confused.
