I've got a top-of-the-line 2015 MBPr. Oh, why did I ever thought to take the top model?! It kills me with unreasonable noise - as soon as dGPU is invoked it starts to whine, just watching a YT video, around very reasonable 60C - and 60-70% fanspeed. For nothing
Even when I stop it, it makes horrendous noise for ~4 more minutes. Despite it's ~50C.
Editing video is just impossible without safety headphones - normal ones can't stop this sound
Don't ask me about thermal paste or dust - it's clean. I even tried liquid metal and it did nothing, as it's not a heat problem. And as I know I'm not alone with such a terrible acting of hi-end 2015 model.
And I thought - it must be firmware problem, it manages fans inadequately. Lower-end models seem not to suffer from such things. What if we simply flash another SMC firmware? Would it "trick" the machine to think it's a lower-end one and adjust fancurve accordingly?
Help me please. I do like this machine but can't handle it's noise anymore
