Hey guys, this is my first post here. Hoping you guys can help me out a little bit. I bought a macbook pro a few months ago and everything is fine except it that it makes noise every so often and i'm wondering if its because it working really hard and could use more memory. it's 2.2ghz intel core i7 with 4gb 13333 mhz ddr3.
I'm not sure if its the fan or what but here a few instances where the fan or harddrive start to get a little loud.
1. i rendered a 15 second clip in final cut pro.
2. you can watch NBC's sunday night football online. i had it up for a while and then forgot that I left it up and after a while I heard the fan or whatever.
3. I was on Skype just now doing a video chat and it began again.
The final cut pro render didn't last too long so the noise went down after a bit. i closed the media player for the football game and then the noise went down for after a bit. i was on Skype for a while and the noise didn't stop for the duration of the call. but a few days earlier i was on Skype and i didn't get fan noise at all.
Maybe its normal but I'm hoping more memory can fix this because i had a pc that made noise and it just drives me crazy. all the previous pc's i've had always got vicious malware and viruses and would make so much noise. one the reason for switching over was to avoid that. Also i just get mad when at work i've seen older macbook pro's capture, export, render video without sounding like hurricane is inside of it or seeing a co-worker with an older macbook pro doing after effects projects without any noise as well.
i'm hoping boosting memory fixes this. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
