What is an acceptable level of CPU heat on the 2020 MacBook Air? I have watched countless YT videos and read all the threads here but nobody has answered this basic question for me.
i have a base machine. I3, 8GB, 256 SSD. I write, surf, play WoW (never raid or group) at low settings. Am coming from a similar 2017 Air that did all these things coolly and flawlessly.
This new one...I open Safari, one tab, temp shoots up to 80C. Word kicks it up to 100 and I can’t even play two minutes of WoW without fans going nuts.
i am not going to open it and do the paste and copper things to try and correct this. So, my question...is this heat ok? Will it affect the longetivity of this laptop? Should I return it? I’ve been an Apple faithful for years and have everything they currently make...but have never experienced a concerning issue like this. Be kind with your opinions please 😁
