I bought a 15" Macbook Pro a couple of weeks ago with the i7 2.5GHz processor, 16GB RAM and the AMD Radeon R9 M370X GPU and broadly its been great, a few adjustments moving over from Windows but I feel I'm finally getting there!
I am a bit concerned about the CPU Temperatures and fan activity however, I find that at idle my CPU seems to stay around 55 Degree Celsius which appears to be hot based on what I've read elsewhere, it also spikes very very quickly up to 97-99 Degrees Celsius at the slightest hint of being asked to do anything, which of course also spikes the fans up and makes it sound like a plane is taking off....
I never got this sort of temperature spiking doing similar things on an older Lenovo PC with a lower specced CPU and I don't feel that what I'm doing should be straining the Macbook (looking through photo's, browsing the web, video mainly), I can understand when I'm playing a game or if I were batch processing 300 RAW files but it seems a little odd and I wondered what other 2015 Macbook 15" owners were experiencing temperature and fan wise?
