overheating

This morning i transferred some files from my iMac to my 15" MBP (2016) using it in target disk mode, then i put it in my backpack to get to work, but since i was late i forgot to switch it off and just assumed it would shut off when i had closed the lid. Unfortunately that was not the case and...

i am really enjoying my 14" M1 Max 24-Core, 64GB RAM, 2TB ssd MacBook Pro. However I noticed one thing. The 96 Watts 'Quick-Charge' power adapter that comes with it, even-though it does indeed charge it to +50% within 30min, it does get rather hor while doing so.. Is it normal for that power...

Just received my new MacBook Pro after waiting a month its the base model upgrading from a 2013 MacBook Air. I decided to set it up as a new machine and did not transfer anything from my air. So far I did the setup and installed the following apps Carrot weather, IVPN, Brave browser...

I'm on macOS Mojave on a 2018 i7 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM. When I run Android Studio and start the app using the emulator my disk gets heated up and the fan noise is loud compared to none when running XCode 11. (Android Studio and XCode are not open at the same time) Is the emulator the...

My Mac Pro 5,1 has been having an issue where its not properly cooling my system it blows but its not maintaining temperature correctly. The CPU can get up to 70 degrees and will eventually crash. The fans don't ramp up to cool it off properly. I have mac fan control set to automatic and the...

I use an Elgato CamLink 4k to connect my camera to my 2015 MacBook Pro 15" running the latest Big Sur. Whenever I do so, my CPU is high and the fans go crazy. I have never run a task that stresses the laptop as much - and I regularly run data science code over data sets running for hours. I am...

Hey everybody, just looking for a little advice. I have a refurbished 2020 16" MBP with an i9, 32GB Ram, etc. and I keep running into overheating issues with it even under seemingly light workloads. My first refurb had an issue with the WiFi (it couldn't obtain an IP address no matter what)...

Hi, I've recently bought a new m1 macbook 13" and so far I've enjoyed it to the fullest. But the other day i tried something that raised questions in my mind. Now i know that the macbook 13" isn't intended for gaming, but i felt like trying some of my favorite titles to see how they ran on it. I...

Hi folks, I'm so excited I received my 12 pro max in gold today. Been setting it up and playing with it all day. That is until later I decided to charge the phone, the device heats up really bad. Is this normal? What's going on? I'm using the little cord with the 20 watt charging brick. Help!

I'm having several issues with a completely new MacBook Pro 2020 (13'') and feeling really, really stuck! Since getting my MBP a couple of months ago, I've noticed a slightly random clicking or popping sound when I open the lid. It's not related to the internal speakers, fans or anything on the...

Hey Guys, I’ve been using my Mag Safe Charger on my IPhone 12 Pro with a Silicone iPhone case for about a day now. I’ve noticed that when I have my Mag Safe charger attached and using my phone at the same time I sometimes get little static shocks. Also, the Mag Safe charge also gets pretty hot...

I am ready to buy 2020 MacBook Pro with 2.0 GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core (10th Gen) processor, 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD drive. After extensive research, I am inclined to believe that this laptop is prone to overheating. There are far too many reports with similar symptoms. I am aware that all...

I am almost ready to purchase MBP 2020 13" 2.3 Ghz / 16 Gb RAM / 1 Tb SSD - Core i7 Quad-Core (10th Gen)model. After researching feedback from current owners, overheating seems to be a such a frequent concern that I am thinking of delaying the purchase until more information becomes available...

Hi, I used my base 2020 13' Pro this afternoon with Sidecar, and after just 10 minutes roughly, the MacBook was extremely hot. This seems ridiculous when I was only using it as a second screen for Spotify. Is this an issue with Catalina, Sidecar or the MacBook? Anyone else experienced this?

Hi everyone ... I wonder if i can pick some brains? I have a Mac Pro (2009) 4,1 flashed to 5,1 with latest firmware and boot ROM, running Mojave 10.14.6. I also have Samsung EVO 970 with 4 x internal HD, Radeon RX 580 Pulse (Mac flashed by MacStore UK) and 96Gb 1333 Mhz Ram with 2 x 3.46Ghz 6...

I play a lot of FPS games on my iPhone 8 (256GB). I keep it in a UAG Monarch Series case, and I use Zagg InvisibleShield Glass+ Privacy for screen protection. I replace the tempered glass regularly enough with the warranty. I've had to significantly lower the graphic settings on any game I...

Hi, I am new to the MBP community and just bought an open box 16" i7 16gb memory MBP 2019 (later model) from Best Buy and I'm experiencing the thermal throttling/overheating when connecting it to an external monitor (basic Acer monitor nothing fancy). Does anyone know if Apple fixed this problem...

I've got A1398 2015 (2.8, R9 370X, High Sierra) which I was dreaming of for years! I bought it for silence as Apple values it much - and got something pretty different. First of all - paste is fresh (MX-4), fans are clean, SMC and NVRAM are reset. I undervolted with Volta (-60mv), turned off...

Hi, I have an old 2007 iMac that I will use as a basic file server. It hasn't really been used for years except for the odd bit of web browsing/online radio in the room it's in. It needs a new HD for sure (very crunchy sounding), which I'll be installing sometime this week. I've noticed though...
