Is your MacBook Pro heating up?

Question

macbook

there is a MacBook Pro 13" 2011 i5, 8gb ram, 128gb ssd
The problem is that it heats up and makes noise
the temperature in Idle is about 52'C watching
a youtube video in 1080p warms it up to 72-80 degrees
- then you start NetBeans, IDEA laptop cooler instantly starts making noise at 5000-6000 rpm, then it stops...
The same with virtual machines (you can heat up to 90'C)
I've already changed the thermal paste a couple of times
.

Answer 1

1) Aluminum case
2) Everything is pressed as close as possible to each other
. If you still charge it at this time, it’s generally terrible. I noticed that the poppy is especially heated when I watch a video through a flash player. And if you try to launch, for example, Borderlands 2, it’s a total bummer.

Answer 2

> Everyone is like that?
I don’t know the numbers, but everyone gets very hot, it’s not comfortable to touch the case.
This is a "feature".

Answer 3

This is the norm!

Answer 4

I have 15', same problem. I think it's their life. Dismantled, collected (thought dust) — nothing like that.

Answer 5

Everyone is warming up, and the one who denies is a liar who is trying to hide the shortcomings of the purchased device.
My friend alone bought a top-end mac config, also on i7 with 16GB of RAM and almost burned his hands. The stand barely helps, but he cursed this poppy three times.

Answer 6

Hey guys! In general, I had the same overheating problem on the a1425, the issue was resolved by replacing the radiator (cooling tube). advised apple service. at first I didn’t believe it, they say it’s an ordinary pipe, what can happen to it ?! and as it turned out, this tube is filled with some kind of gas that allows you to quickly distribute heat through the tube. generally trusted and bought. changed and, lo and behold, the temperature was around 50, it was about 100. I bought a tube on wepro.ru and it cost about 1.5k. something like that.

Answer 7

At me it is heated when on soft costs. On the table, it very rarely starts to buzz, mainly when something is calculating heavy.

Answer 8

I don't have such a problem. I can't really advise anything with Java, but you can try switching Youtube to HTML5: www.youtube.com/html5
In general, it shouldn't be like that. Those who say it's normal, it's not. I had all the aluminum 13" firmware (except the latest one), there was no such problem anywhere.
I would also try to reset the SMC as advised above.

Answer 9

No matter how he mocked his own, it was not possible to warm it up more than 75C.
The fact that it heats up is normal, the MBP case is also its radiator.

Answer 10

versions of the EFI firmware and the latest versions of the makos itself with all the updates?
what do they say in the SC about this?

Answer 11

As far as I know, Macs are not friendly with flash. From here it heats up when watching videos on youtube. I will be a little more powerful than yours, but it also starts to make a little noise when watching youtube. True, I choose worse quality (I live in the ass with 2 megabits)

Answer 12

I had this problem, this helped: support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Answer 13

What are you all, what a norm! This is not the norm, it should work quietly and not heat up, my Macbook is almost 2 years old, it works perfectly, quietly and not warming up like in a bath. Once my poppy made a noise, like a steam locomotive, even standing on the table, not particularly loaded with applications, the SMC reset helped, as I wrote above, since then it has been working fine and there were no more complaints about it, even after I increased the RAM up to 8 GB, it didn’t get hotter (it practically doesn’t heat up at all, if it stands on a straight surface, if it lies on the bed, then maybe not much).

Answer 14

My power supply gets very hot. MacBook Pro 17", Early 2011, Core i7 (2.2GHz) DDR-16Gb. It heats up very strongly and makes noise when switching to the second AMD Radeon 1Gb video card. heats up, even in Tetris at least 3DsMax - it doesn't matter to him.

Answer 15

He also suffered from this. When you work, your hands sweat because the laptop is hot. It's like holding your hands over the battery.

crutch, of course, but it works.
After starting the software, it immediately cooled down, literally in a couple of minutes.

Answer 16

Pro 15 'Mid 2014
It always gets very hot and from everything even when just a few tabs in chrome and that's it, sometimes up to 105+ degrees, I use www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control - it helps a little, I set the auto-raise based on the sensor there CPU core 1, though it works somehow unevenly, sometimes it doesn’t make noise, sometimes it spins up sharply to maximum speed.
Advise a good stand)

Answer 17

It is strange that after replacing the thermal paste, the overheating did not disappear. I had a very successful experience - -20 degrees and +400 MHz to the frequency. I even wrote a post about it - https://macosworld.ru/thermal-paste-replacement-ma...
