MBP Temps

Jools86 · 24 Jun 2019 at 11:00

Hi.

Need some advice. I have a late 2015 15” MBP which works good but when under load the cpu sits @ 96 c until the fans ramp to 6k then it sits @ 80/90c. Is this normal. Is the same when using in macos editing and boot camp win10 with razor egpu running a rtx2060. Has never sent a temp warning or hung. Just scared it’ll burn and die in a ball of flames knowing my luck.

Yes, it is. Unfortunately. That's been the case across all of my MBPs (and I tend to upgrade with each refresh), as well as my Mini. Only one that doesn't appear to be as hot is my iMac Pro.

I usually find it far worse - especially with the i9 - running Bootcamp.

Cool thanks. Glad it’s not just mine then

maybe Apple need to do some water cooling

Download and install smcfancontrol.

Set your MBP fans to spin up at lower temps to prevent the hourly zero fan > max fan > zero fan nonsense.

You can set multiple profiles and have them ramp up automatically when the MBP is charging which is the worst case scenario combined with warm room and high CPU load.

Nice one. Thanks for that. Downloading it now

Not sure what you need to the same running Windows via Bootcamp as I ran Windows via VMWare on all my Macs.

Ah I tried FanSpeed on bootcamp but according to that the mac doesn't have any fans

Haha but I have to use them for work; software is too good and now stuck on an iPhone because of that too. They've got me!
