Great video, Max! Is the menu bar item with temperature & fan speed TG Pro? What about the one to the right of it that shows CPU and GPU usage (as % and in bar chart format)?? Thanks!
@Max Tech I have a question. If the MacBook Air is running so hot what damage will it cause to hardware and what is the problem with a laptop or computer to run hotter
Max Tech or wait for a firmware update? Didn’t this happen to the 15” a couple years ago? It does suck that there is a poor cooling approach toward the CPU
you should also undervolt, probably. It's either gonna save battery and lower temps or increase performance, and at any rate the longer lifespan is worth it
It would still only be better than the current Air, but not as good as the Pro because the Air still uses a cheaper Y chip instead of the Pro's U chip.
Peter Vaňušanik if you think that way then you maybe wrong...apple alway using diference processors than most of laptop gonna use. So definitely the cpu for mbp 14 should have at least 4 core 15wh (maybe 1035g7) for base, up to 6 to 8 core and eat up 25wh for high end.
I just got the MB air i5, 512gb ssd, and 8gb of ram. I use chrome for everything from watching RUclips to using Microsoft office for classes. Literally with multiple chrome tabs open while watching a 4K video on chrome, the bottom of the laptop just gets “warm”. It’s totally normal as most laptops do this for these specs. My microsoft surface laptop 3 did the same exact thing. Y’all gotta stop believing everything on RUclips. If you’re not looking to use this for video editing, then it’s literally perfect. The pro is meant for all that editing/development stuff. That’s why it’s running hot. Benchmark tests run the computer to its maximum limits which is not what what most basic users do so quit the criticism.
Thank you Daniel! I’m waiting for mine to come this week. I do think Apple would actually address the potential issue with updates as time goes on as it is. It’s quite a simple software fix if a third party cooler app can resolve it completely. Any laptop even around 1k that’s super thin easily gets in range if not at 100c. Dells gaming laptops all end up within range so I agree, this is kind of blown out of proportion not only that but when you consider how thin this laptop is.... It also seems unreasonable that Apple “forgot” to add a copper pipe opposed to engineering it as it is for a reason. In either case, there is also a reason MacBook Pros exist and Apple has every right to send you up the product like for better performance. Most of these people are saying well how come this new corolla doesn’t drive like a corvette?? It’s brand new??? As for me, I fully intend to use this for regular work and do some gaming on this. Pending actual testing but, my full blown gaming laptop needs throttle stop to lower the frequencies and power consumption because it turbos it’s way up to 100c. . .crazy right!? It has 3 heat pipes on an Intel 9th gen i5. What I can say is AMD didn’t quite get there performance wise just check out the Surface laptops with AMD...absolute garbage. Their 4000 chips will set them right as Intel is still stuck with a larger die. If AMD had their 3rd gen mobile processors up to snuff we’d have something to blame for here but I’ll take the situation for what it is. Good performance for light MacBook Air type work or 2019 MacBook Air performance with significantly improve graphics with no turbo active and great thermals for a thin and light.
I have mine for a Week now (i7, 16GB RAM) and didnt noticed any of these problems either. Video Editing (iMovie) with 1080p clips and Photo Editing in Affinity Photo are no Problem. I can only hear the Fan when i export my Videos...
I've been using TurboBoostSwitcher since I bought my 13" MBP in October. I knew right away that the Turbo Boost was killing the power, causing it to run hot, etc. As soon as I turned it off, it made a night and day difference in regards to the CPU. The difference in battery life is astronomical as well.
It's also a serious Intel flaw. My i5 8500U in my Thinkpad T480 is a noisy and warm piece of crap even at idle. Compared to my 6500U in my Dell XPS 13 (which has a much more compact body) it basically never got warm or loud. Intel is just putting out crap for hardware
@@pangolin83 When comparing the dual core vs quad core of course. But even the older quad core i7 processors didn't get as toasty. It comes back around to intel really trying to push out higher clock speeds on almost the same hardware. My older dual core in my 2014 MBA could arguably be less efficient than these new 10nm parts, yet it was still quiet and cool (comparing 2014 i5 to 2020 i3)
@@Fgghgrgrhgfnvkmd I honestly think this is why Apple does this. It's trivial to make this a thermally efficient laptop, 9W of quiet and small cooling isn't hard. And Apple engineers/designers aren't stupid. So it must be a cynical plan to keep the lifespan of the Airs low to encourage people to buy new ones.
Apple, would it be such a big problem to design a better cooling? I mean, the fan is there, it is just the matter of adding a simple heatpipe! I think paying for the quadcore version doesńt make any sense since it´s throttled like this?
giorgi elbaqidze IMO, CPU with lower specs but good cooling is better option than CPU with better specs on paper (more cores / threads, higher clocks) but terrible cooling
Depends on your work-flow, if its rendering video then maybe its not worth it, but for tasks that take smaller chunks of time, it'll be worth getting the quad.
Just FYI for anyone in the market, I bought the least expensive late 2019 model MCB Pro 16 inch in its base configuration (i7 chip) specifically bc MaxTech and others were educating us on fan noise from higher i9 chipset and faster graphics card models (search fan noise in forums before buying...eye-popping problem, even with non-intense “daily driver” tasks!). Well, 3 months in, never hear the fan! I can have Safari & Chrome both open, both running 12 tabs and simultaneous RUclips. Ideal, no fan. I’m wicked happy that I bought the base model and didn’t upgrade, plus it saved me a few hundred smackaroulians. Thanks, MaxTech 🍎
Personally, I use Safari just because it integrates into my Apple ecosystem better than Chome. However, I think it is unacceptable that we should modify our usage habits to counter Apples poor engineering. I could understand not doing video rendering or something like that, but really...the browser? Just sad Apple...sad
a bit unfortunate that that program cannot limit the turbo boost clock speed like throttlestop do. (or maybe it can do, I dont know) just set the maximum turbo boost to 1.5GHz and it will be fine.
I cancelled my order because of several of your vids - will be using my macbook 2016 a little longer and wait for the 14" mbp. But I will wait with the order until I see at least 4-5 Videos YOU do on it :) THANK YOU. Best YT Tech channel in my opinion!
Bernd Kiltz I was thinking to get the fanless Macbook 12 2017 which is now so cheap because dealers want to clear remaining stock. I owned a 2019 Air before and the heat & loud fan just drove me crazy to the extent I decided to sell it.
My question is if getting the i3 version would cause just as much, or actually LESS overheating. All youtube videos are recommending to get the i5 version, but they are also having overheating issues. I’m really curious to know if the i3 would overheat less, but no one talks about the i3. Could someone enlighten me?
Intel's Turbo Boost is an absolutely shit feature. Completely consumes any and all thermal budget in any laptop... Great for performance, but those longer temperatures hugely affect battery life.
@@WinterCharmVT Turbo boost is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, kick into higher speed to handle the workload. If Apple shipped their laptops with this disabled, users will complain the laptop is too slow.
@@WinterCharmVT turbo- boost is an excellent feature, most people using the machine are doing tasks that don't require continuous CPU load, turbo-boost gets you the snappiness of a much more powerful machine without the cost and weight. I'd rather Apple released CPU updates more frequently, even into existing thermally constrained designs - changing the design to improve cooling would have had trade-off's.
Imagine purchasing a brand new Macbook Air and immediately neutering it. This is a critical flaw in the Macbook Airs design. Gonna wait for the next Pro.
Honestly this was never the machine for you if you need the Pro - these two are completely different classes of machine, have been since the Air came out!
Thank you for your advice, but the thing is that Apple needs to step up the thermals, as Intel does need to work on its processors and catch up to AMD. I really, really wonder how an AMD Mac would be, their latest mobile chip destroys Intel's one
The CPUs in the MBA are much better than anything AMD has on offer for this power/thermal budget. AMD does fantastic with at least 40W to work with, not so well with only 10W.
Marcel Hricko hard to disagree ! If you want / need a more “extensions featured” browser than Safari, go for Firefox quantum or dev : almost as fast as chrome, and more versatile extensions. I’m wondering if the cool guys at Brave have already tweaked their Chromium code to behave in a less cpu hog (to quote Steve Jobs), would be nice to suggest this to the team.
Been using Chrome for everything except youtube as it shows previews when I mouse over the thumbnail but doesn't do this in Safari. There should be an app that enables Apple TV and Apple News on MacOS before Mojave since I can't upgrade to Mojave or Catalina without a patcher.
The macbook air uses the Y series of the i core processors which intel recommends that it doesnt even need any cooler coz it naturally runs low on temperature, but even though apple added a single fan just for tying up lose ends. None the less, it seems like the processor actually needs some cooling. In my opinion though, intel must do a better job at marketing their products instead blaming apple which did a great job with this laptop.
Give Microsoft Edge Chromium a try. I didn't see any temperature difference on my MacBook compared to Safari and Edge will install add-ons from the Google Chromium Store. OTOH, I also don't install lots of add-on's and that may be the real issue.
I'd love to get some feedback on what I do. I have thin freezer packs that people freeze and put in coolers, say in between layers of drink cans. I have two of them and when the Macbook Pro 2017 gets hot, I simply set it on top of one of the freezer packs on my desk. Within 5-7 minutes the entire Macbook is cold. I have two of them and I just rotate them. The added bonus is that the freezer pack, even when thawed, continues to conduct heat. By the time I stick this thing back in the freezer, it's HOT. Is there any reason I shouldn't be doing this? I've done it every day for two years now with no issues.
i have no intention to offend anyone but a $1000 laptop that can only open 4 tabs and throttles sounds ridiculous isn't it? What's your opinion on this?
bought mine because its the cheapest way for me to get into mac IOS dev (i5, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd. 2k CAD)....... I keep watching these videos and might just purchase the 16inch MBP because this 100 degrees shit is beginning to scare the living FUCK out of me.
it works fine (2019) model. I dont really see the cpu running at 100 opening a bunch of tabs. I can also play a bunch of games too, like heavy online games or computer games
@@tweedle634 Exactly. It's one thing to have fan speeds maxed out to try and cool things down, but keeping that CPU at 100C for any length of time can't be good for it. Bad Apple. So close, and yet so far...
Why does Apple bother putting an i3 to i7 processor on a Macbook Air if it's just for web browsing and light tasks? A Pentium and a Celeron processor are more than enough for those tasks. Hahaha!
This problem should be addressed by Apple! In my opinion they could fix the over heating and noisy fan with a cooling pipe from the fan itself. If there is room in the case it would be a quick and cheap fix. I’m no engineer but I definitely think like one.
A Battery saver mode/silent mode enabled by standard or a power mode to enable baked into the system would be great, also on iPads to preserve power or keep the device cool
I just bought the MacBook Air 2020 I5, I right away noticed the thermal issues, I was a bit worried, this is my first Macbook ever, but Turbo Boost worked perfectly, thank you very much!
I’ve just bought mine too and it worked on mine. Have you used it for a month now do you keep the turbo boost off constantly? That’s all I seemed to do today just kept it off
@@courtneysheppard1024 I used to have it off all the time. I upgrade the turbo boost to the full version, as I hated putting the passcode every time I opened my computer lol. Now for some reason my Mac doesn't get really hot, unless I'm using many apps at a time, or when I'm using Microsoft teams, that's when I normally turn off the turbo boost
Got my set 2 days ago (i5/quad core) and I've been running chrome for web browsing/watching 4k RUclips videos everything seems cool and fans are not ramming up also.
In Africa the heat jumps to 9000k tone Celsius once you turn on the laptop. It little bite more hot than our sun so be thankful about your 100c° in north regions. I talk about macbook pro 13 2019
I installed on MacBook Pro 16 inch. this is unbelievable, a must have. Ran always hot for now reason, just watching RUclips 80C, fan speed....now it runs around 50C with no audible fan speed. I see no performance difference in my everyday use.
Thanks for the video! Just a note on Turbo Boost. When using apps like Logic Pro that use all of the cores at the same time in a random/round robin way (each audio track gets sent to a core/thread randomly) turbo boost slows down performance as the extra power/clock speed used by one core can limit the ability of another core to process its respective track in the same time and stops playback. So this app is great for all macs in those particular cases.
I watched this, turned Turbo Boost off, and suddenly my computer runs my Pro Tools sessions perfectly. Wow. Just ordered a new M1 cause i thought my mac could not handle it anymore but it seems like it might not be needed after all
Hey @@alanterry9993! Using an app to disable intel's turbo boost will let you run more tracks and with more stability in LogicX. But it depends on your workflow.
if you have doubts then back up your computer data cannot be recovered from this macbook air if the board dies for any reason, you should be backing up already
@Fabian Bebber it's conceivable. it's messing with low-level CPU functionality and it makes kernel modifications, so fairly powerful stuff. that said, I've never seen it crash a computer. I've just seen it work on some and not work on others. It seems to be working less as time goes on, I think because macOS' kernel security is changing
I had a macbook air since 2011 and yes it ran hot but it's not like it exploded. Of course it was uncomfortable to use on the lap but for everyday we cruising with chrome it worked fine. It finally died this week😭. But 9 year run, I can't complain.
Apple has invested in a thermal design that will be a good yield for their upcoming ARM based Macbooks. How come every reviewer under the sun is telling this "Air" is a good laptop? Apple is now shoving down safari down our throat like seriously? The Intel chip is far more capable when cooled properly. These anti-consumer behavior from Apple is messed up and people are still blind to that. A thousand dollar laptop for browsing 4 tabs on Safari, wow!
LOLOLO. Hey guys get this i7 Macbook Air, you can run 2 tabs of Safari and Notepad and it should be just fine. What a fuking joke. BRAVO Apple, you really got your sheep to follow.
Bought my MacBook pro I7 2 weeks back just for IOS app development. I am facing all the issues said in the video. I am very disappointed to find the heat issue which completely destroys my good perspective on mac. Just by using few tabs in the browser it is completely getting heated up. Don't ask about using the Android studio or on least VSCode. It sucks literally. Even the apple service center could not resolve this issue for me.
I can't tell you how long I've been searching for a solution to this overheating issue. From Zoom calls to doing everything in Google Chrome, my Mac was overheating within minutes. I was struggling with using any kind of screen recording software to record videos for a contract job and my side business as the fan kicked in with 30sec of pressing record. I was getting so frustrated. Now I know what the normal temp of my mac should be and Turbo Boost Switcher has calmed everything down so I can get things done. Thank you!!!
Hi, in a previous video you recommended the i3 over the i5 to avoid heat and noise. Using these tricks, especially the boost switcher, would you still recco the i3 or would you go with the i5? Great reviews btw.
I have an Intel chip 2020 Air. I deliberately chose the i3. Why? Because I could not see the advantage of a more powerful CPU if it was just going to be throttling down due to heat. And, even if the more powerful chips were not throttling, the thought of having a chip on board that is in other laptops being cooled by a heat pipe and exhausting hot air through vents ... rather than just cycling hot air around in the hope it is radiated by the aluminum case ... was frankly freaking me out. IMHO, the Air should be intended for portability and light duty, which is what I imagine 80 % of users use a laptop for 80% of the time: mail, RUclips, movie sites, social media, word processing on say Bean, or the Pages/Numbers suite. Instead of the more gutsy chip, I spent extra money ordering a variant with 16 GB of RAM. I had to wait a week, but it was worth it. Still running Catalina, and none of the bread and butter stuff I use this machine for gets the fan wailing unless I have a zillion tabs up, or have some heavy packets coming in on Chrome. It's a limited machine for people with limited objectives. For something else, I'd spend more dosh and get the MBP.
Well maybe they will make the device thinner, run it harder and it will still overheat. If they do not care today, why would they care next year whatever cpu is in it.
RUclips Kullanıcısı I really should. The keyboard was just so meh on the last gen stuff. Hopefully Apple announces what they are doing with the MBP 13-14 at WWDC online or something even sooner (anything to break up the horrid state of the world just now. Wash your hands
1:47 i cant agree with that, on my macbook pro 2017 after 1-2 hours of using safari laptop overheating and using 8-9 gb of ram and with google chrome it never overheats if im watching movies or youtube videos.i have tested it and after 2 haours of using google,google used about 5 gb of ram and stays cooler and safari using almost whole memory and overheats . maybe it my mac problem but for me it works like that. keep it up,i love your videos 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Some companies make special laptop stands with 2 or more fans built in them. It plugs into your computer with USB- Oh wait MacBooks only have USB-C ports
I was really interested in buying one as well but I don't really need one right now. But I think not with these heat issues. I don't like the keyboard on the current 13" Macbook Pro and the 128gb drive is just unacceptably small. Bump that to 256 and it becomes pretty prices. If the next entry level pro comes in with 256gb drive, new keyboard, and stays at around the same price as the current entry level Pro, that would seem to be a much better option. We'll see.
Let's see, Apple spent *$5 billion dollars(!)* on their new corporate headquarters, which includes plenty of cooling, but they can't even be bothered to cool their own products. wtf
Mamo Are you blind? They did this one purpose so they could get more people to buy the MacBook Pro, this is a marketing strategy and a good one at best. They don’t have to put as many features in the new MacBook Pro now, they can just say 2 things; Magic Keyboard and Better Cooling.
I don't know if this is because of the sensors, or the app you or i'm using to measure the temps, but my 2017 macbook pro rarely ever goes over 60 degrees, and when it does the fans already at full blast. So the mac does put a high fan speed when the temp is hot, so what I do most times is, I use an app to control the fan speed, with this, on average use the temp never goes over 50°. I am using the stats app, and it works pretty well, it displays cpu %/time, temperatures, and can control fan speeds.
Thank you so much really... I played four of your videos at the same time on FF on each corner of my 15" MBP 2015 that remained silent... Before the Turbo Boost Switcher, only 1 video on RUclips where making my fan go crazy!!!
This will be a big Business opportunity someone needs to make a small heatsink replacement. the fan is right next door 😉 already so i think it will be easy !!! Free idea here .!! 🤪
By the way, even if you solve heat issue under 200$ and 4 hours of labor, there is a still software throttling as if CPU is hot (watch video with ice pack) so i see only one cost efficient solution, MacBook Pro
As I understand it the i5 graphics performance score is reduced from 900+ to 600+ with turbo boost off and silent fan, but is still twice that of i3 at 300+ score with turbo boost and full fan noise on?
RUclips runs poorly on Mac OS when using Chrome due to the codec the videos are served by default (forcing software decoding instead of using the CPU's native h264 decoding capability). You can install a free extension called h264ify to fix the issue and get great RUclips experience under Chrome.
These videos are like online recipes. 5 pages of the author's biography and a thesis on the history of the color purple before getting to recipe that take two minutes to make.
This happens to mine from end May to end September in my house doesn’t have air conditioning, the temperatures are hot and it affects my MacBook, from October to May is perfect and no problems at all, hundreds tabs and windows open nonstop all day.

Just FYI for anyone in the market, I bought the least expensive late 2019 model MCB Pro 16 inch in its base configuration (i7 chip) specifically bc MaxTech and others were educating us on fan noise from higher i9 chipset and faster graphics card models (search fan noise in forums before buying...eye-popping problem, even with non-intense “daily driver” tasks!). Well, 3 months in, never hear the fan! I can have Safari & Chrome both open, both running 12 tabs and simultaneous RUclips. Ideal, no fan. I’m wicked happy that I bought the base model and didn’t upgrade, plus it saved me a few hundred smackaroulians. Thanks, MaxTech 🍎
The cheapest 16” MB Pro starts at $2399.
@@Steve.Nguyen Got mine at Best Buy for $2175. :-)). No student discount. Apple pretty much marks things up and immediately discounts them these days.
Personally, I use Safari just because it integrates into my Apple ecosystem better than Chome. However, I think it is unacceptable that we should modify our usage habits to counter Apples poor engineering. I could understand not doing video rendering or something like that, but really...the browser? Just sad Apple...sad
Mike Neill I completely agree, it’s pretty embarrassing, they had the potential for a killer product.
To be fair, it's the same on Windows and especially MS Hardware. Battery lasts a lot longer if you use Internet Explorer or Edge instead of Chrome.
Suspect it's Google's poor engineering - they build Chrome.
a bit unfortunate that that program cannot limit the turbo boost clock speed like throttlestop do. (or maybe it can do, I dont know) just set the maximum turbo boost to 1.5GHz and it will be fine.
Or maybe Apple shouldve made it work properly in the first place
If Apple would have done it work properly the MacBook Air with quad core would be better than the pro 16"
I cancelled my order because of several of your vids - will be using my macbook 2016 a little longer and wait for the 14" mbp. But I will wait with the order until I see at least 4-5 Videos YOU do on it :) THANK YOU. Best YT Tech channel in my opinion!
Bernd Kiltz I was thinking to get the fanless Macbook 12 2017 which is now so cheap because dealers want to clear remaining stock. I owned a 2019 Air before and the heat & loud fan just drove me crazy to the extent I decided to sell it.

My question is if getting the i3 version would cause just as much, or actually LESS overheating. All youtube videos are recommending to get the i5 version, but they are also having overheating issues. I’m really curious to know if the i3 would overheat less, but no one talks about the i3. Could someone enlighten me?

I'm curious too...HELP PLZ

i7 produces less heat, but more powerful than i5, maybe this video could help.
I5s are probably better binned chips so they would probably need less voltage to sustain higher clock speeds so it could actually have better temps
Would be great to see how the MBA would perform if it had the same cooler the 13“ MBP has.
His previous video about water cooling the Air shows the performance it could have had with proper cooling.
my guess, better.
yes, it is a kind of business strategy
These issues need to be raised. Thank you for this video. Some people might even decide to not by the computer at all, like I did.
This has to be the last Intel MacBook Air. There’s no way they can continue with this design for these CPUs in the long run, it’s getting ridiculous.
Intel's Turbo Boost is an absolutely shit feature. Completely consumes any and all thermal budget in any laptop... Great for performance, but those longer temperatures hugely affect battery life.
ARM based processors are rumored to come in 2021 so let’s hope for the best.
@@WinterCharmVT Turbo boost is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, kick into higher speed to handle the workload. If Apple shipped their laptops with this disabled, users will complain the laptop is too slow.
@@WinterCharmVT Somehow other manufacturers are able to manufacture laptops that do not melt on idle.
@@WinterCharmVT turbo- boost is an excellent feature, most people using the machine are doing tasks that don't require continuous CPU load, turbo-boost gets you the snappiness of a much more powerful machine without the cost and weight. I'd rather Apple released CPU updates more frequently, even into existing thermally constrained designs - changing the design to improve cooling would have had trade-off's.
Thank you for making these videos no one else does this and these are so helpful
This is what happens when the fan doesn't have any contact with the actual heatsink. Lmao
Imagine purchasing a brand new Macbook Air and immediately neutering it. This is a critical flaw in the Macbook Airs design. Gonna wait for the next Pro.
Lkgpuanimho 0 Macbook Pro 14” rumored to come out later this year
Honestly this was never the machine for you if you need the Pro - these two are completely different classes of machine, have been since the Air came out!
My mbp 2019 also heats up crazy! I had an air before but it’s not as hot when normal use.
Disable turbo, which makes it cooler but way slower. Imagine using a computer which only runs on 1ghz in 2020. And on top of that, it costs $1k+ 🤣
They trap us in the ecosystem. I get it. Okay.
But we deserve not so crappy upgrades.
Thank you for your advice, but the thing is that Apple needs to step up the thermals, as Intel does need to work on its processors and catch up to AMD. I really, really wonder how an AMD Mac would be, their latest mobile chip destroys Intel's one
The CPUs in the MBA are much better than anything AMD has on offer for this power/thermal budget. AMD does fantastic with at least 40W to work with, not so well with only 10W.
I was literally only on tumblr downloading images and the fan got super loud and hot and put it away WTF
I like this “DON’T USE CHROME!”
Marcel Hricko hard to disagree !
If you want / need a more “extensions featured” browser than Safari, go for Firefox quantum or dev : almost as fast as chrome, and more versatile extensions.
I’m wondering if the cool guys at Brave have already tweaked their Chromium code to behave in a less cpu hog (to quote Steve Jobs), would be nice to suggest this to the team.
Manuel Munoz Good Morning, I used to watch CBS tv using HOLA to hide my IP address on Chrome. It’s not working anymore, or it’s paid service now.
Been using Chrome for everything except youtube as it shows previews when I mouse over the thumbnail but doesn't do this in Safari. There should be an app that enables Apple TV and Apple News on MacOS before Mojave since I can't upgrade to Mojave or Catalina without a patcher.
I have school though and all my homework I have to do on chrome
And.... If I want to use stadia?
Almost cooked my thigh by forgetting how hot my mac was from a zoom meeting and moved to my bed to do homework.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE MY 2019 MACBOOK PRO AND THIS HELPED SO MUCH TYSM I HAVE EXTRA BATTERY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The macbook air uses the Y series of the i core processors which intel recommends that it doesnt even need any cooler coz it naturally runs low on temperature, but even though apple added a single fan just for tying up lose ends. None the less, it seems like the processor actually needs some cooling. In my opinion though, intel must do a better job at marketing their products instead blaming apple which did a great job with this laptop.
Give Microsoft Edge Chromium a try. I didn't see any temperature difference on my MacBook compared to Safari and Edge will install add-ons from the Google Chromium Store. OTOH, I also don't install lots of add-on's and that may be the real issue.
Question: what app is that on your task bar that shows CPU usage and temp?
I think that is TG Pro (www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/)
iStat Menus also works for this
I'd love to get some feedback on what I do. I have thin freezer packs that people freeze and put in coolers, say in between layers of drink cans. I have two of them and when the Macbook Pro 2017 gets hot, I simply set it on top of one of the freezer packs on my desk. Within 5-7 minutes the entire Macbook is cold. I have two of them and I just rotate them. The added bonus is that the freezer pack, even when thawed, continues to conduct heat. By the time I stick this thing back in the freezer, it's HOT. Is there any reason I shouldn't be doing this? I've done it every day for two years now with no issues.
lovebaja you might expand your battery & fuck it up

@@tweedle634 Exactly. It's one thing to have fan speeds maxed out to try and cool things down, but keeping that CPU at 100C for any length of time can't be good for it. Bad Apple. So close, and yet so far...
@@yaskoda if you don't mind answering, what model do you have spec wise?
Why does Apple bother putting an i3 to i7 processor on a Macbook Air if it's just for web browsing and light tasks? A Pentium and a Celeron processor are more than enough for those tasks. Hahaha!
This problem should be addressed by Apple! In my opinion they could fix the over heating and noisy fan with a cooling pipe from the fan itself. If there is room in the case it would be a quick and cheap fix. I’m no engineer but I definitely think like one.
Finally I know what’s making my Air so hot. Thank you!!!!

agreed, this video was extremely helpful for me regarding my 2013 macair and issues i was having.
A Battery saver mode/silent mode enabled by standard or a power mode to enable baked into the system would be great, also on iPads to preserve power or keep the device cool

@@courtneysheppard1024 I used to have it off all the time. I upgrade the turbo boost to the full version, as I hated putting the passcode every time I opened my computer lol. Now for some reason my Mac doesn't get really hot, unless I'm using many apps at a time, or when I'm using Microsoft teams, that's when I normally turn off the turbo boost

Got my set 2 days ago (i5/quad core) and I've been running chrome for web browsing/watching 4k RUclips videos everything seems cool and fans are not ramming up also.
Mine has overheat problem and I doubt this might be a qc issue because some people have problems like me but others are like you.

In Africa the heat jumps to 9000k tone Celsius once you turn on the laptop. It little bite more hot than our sun so be thankful about your 100c° in north regions. I talk about macbook pro 13 2019
Good video! What program are you using for temp and fanspeed?
thats iStatMenus )
I installed on MacBook Pro 16 inch. this is unbelievable, a must have. Ran always hot for now reason, just watching RUclips 80C, fan speed....now it runs around 50C with no audible fan speed. I see no performance difference in my everyday use.
If you're going to nerf it anyway, why not just go for the i3 MacBook Air?
what do you use to monitor the temperature of your computer and how fast the fan is running?
Thanks for the video! Just a note on Turbo Boost. When using apps like Logic Pro that use all of the cores at the same time in a random/round robin way (each audio track gets sent to a core/thread randomly) turbo boost slows down performance as the extra power/clock speed used by one core can limit the ability of another core to process its respective track in the same time and stops playback. So this app is great for all macs in those particular cases.
Wow this is incredibly useful information! Thank you!
Thanks for this info! Been searching on how to keep my Mac cool only because I use LPX intensively.
I watched this, turned Turbo Boost off, and suddenly my computer runs my Pro Tools sessions perfectly. Wow. Just ordered a new M1 cause i thought my mac could not handle it anymore but it seems like it might not be needed after all
I´m sorry but I didn´t understand..Is Turbo boost a good tool for us, LPX users? cheers from Argentina
Hey @@alanterry9993! Using an app to disable intel's turbo boost will let you run more tracks and with more stability in LogicX. But it depends on your workflow.

if you have doubts then back up your computer
data cannot be recovered from this macbook air if the board dies for any reason, you should be backing up already
@@subadanus6310 should automatically back up documents to iCloud and the entire machine to your Time Machine local backup
@Fabian Bebber it's conceivable. it's messing with low-level CPU functionality and it makes kernel modifications, so fairly powerful stuff. that said, I've never seen it crash a computer. I've just seen it work on some and not work on others. It seems to be working less as time goes on, I think because macOS' kernel security is changing
I had a macbook air since 2011 and yes it ran hot but it's not like it exploded. Of course it was uncomfortable to use on the lap but for everyday we cruising with chrome it worked fine. It finally died this week😭. But 9 year run, I can't complain.
Apple has invested in a thermal design that will be a good yield for their upcoming ARM based Macbooks.
How come every reviewer under the sun is telling this "Air" is a good laptop?
Apple is now shoving down safari down our throat like seriously?
The Intel chip is far more capable when cooled properly.
These anti-consumer behavior from Apple is messed up and people are still blind to that.

Bought my MacBook pro I7 2 weeks back just for IOS app development. I am facing all the issues said in the video. I am very disappointed to find the heat issue which completely destroys my good perspective on mac. Just by using few tabs in the browser it is completely getting heated up. Don't ask about using the Android studio or on least VSCode. It sucks literally. Even the apple service center could not resolve this issue for me.
@@nostalgicminds1409 my buddy bought a new MacBook pro, he returned it and got a x1 carbon, said he couldnt be happier.
I can't tell you how long I've been searching for a solution to this overheating issue. From Zoom calls to doing everything in Google Chrome, my Mac was overheating within minutes. I was struggling with using any kind of screen recording software to record videos for a contract job and my side business as the fan kicked in with 30sec of pressing record. I was getting so frustrated. Now I know what the normal temp of my mac should be and Turbo Boost Switcher has calmed everything down so I can get things done. Thank you!!!
Hi, in a previous video you recommended the i3 over the i5 to avoid heat and noise. Using these tricks, especially the boost switcher, would you still recco the i3 or would you go with the i5? Great reviews btw.
I have an Intel chip 2020 Air. I deliberately chose the i3. Why? Because I could not see the advantage of a more powerful CPU if it was just going to be throttling down due to heat. And, even if the more powerful chips were not throttling, the thought of having a chip on board that is in other laptops being cooled by a heat pipe and exhausting hot air through vents ... rather than just cycling hot air around in the hope it is radiated by the aluminum case ... was frankly freaking me out.
IMHO, the Air should be intended for portability and light duty, which is what I imagine 80 % of users use a laptop for 80% of the time: mail, RUclips, movie sites, social media, word processing on say Bean, or the Pages/Numbers suite. Instead of the more gutsy chip, I spent extra money ordering a variant with 16 GB of RAM. I had to wait a week, but it was worth it.
Still running Catalina, and none of the bread and butter stuff I use this machine for gets the fan wailing unless I have a zillion tabs up, or have some heavy packets coming in on Chrome. It's a limited machine for people with limited objectives. For something else, I'd spend more dosh and get the MBP.
Thank you so much for these tips! I hate how loud the fan in M1 MacBook Air gets. Hopefully this will help
Can’t wait for ARM chips in these things.
ransom182 what are ARM chips?
gasfox Apple’s A series chips.
Well maybe they will make the device thinner, run it harder and it will still overheat. If they do not care today, why would they care next year whatever cpu is in it.

1:47 i cant agree with that, on my macbook pro 2017 after 1-2 hours of using safari laptop overheating and using 8-9 gb of ram and with google chrome it never overheats if im watching movies or youtube videos.i have tested it and after 2 haours of using google,google used about 5 gb of ram and stays cooler and safari using almost whole memory and overheats . maybe it my mac problem but for me it works like that. keep it up,i love your videos 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Some companies make special laptop stands with 2 or more fans built in them. It plugs into your computer with USB-
Oh wait MacBooks only have USB-C ports
it pulls my decision back after watching this video, thanks!
I was really interested in buying one as well but I don't really need one right now. But I think not with these heat issues. I don't like the keyboard on the current 13" Macbook Pro and the 128gb drive is just unacceptably small. Bump that to 256 and it becomes pretty prices. If the next entry level pro comes in with 256gb drive, new keyboard, and stays at around the same price as the current entry level Pro, that would seem to be a much better option. We'll see.

Mamo Are you blind? They did this one purpose so they could get more people to buy the MacBook Pro, this is a marketing strategy and a good one at best. They don’t have to put as many features in the new MacBook Pro now, they can just say 2 things; Magic Keyboard and Better Cooling.
I don't know if this is because of the sensors, or the app you or i'm using to measure the temps, but my 2017 macbook pro rarely ever goes over 60 degrees, and when it does the fans already at full blast. So the mac does put a high fan speed when the temp is hot, so what I do most times is, I use an app to control the fan speed, with this, on average use the temp never goes over 50°. I am using the stats app, and it works pretty well, it displays cpu %/time, temperatures, and can control fan speeds.
Is the laptop that you're using the dual core i3, or the quad core i5/ i7?
Thank you so much really... I played four of your videos at the same time on FF on each corner of my 15" MBP 2015 that remained silent... Before the Turbo Boost Switcher, only 1 video on RUclips where making my fan go crazy!!!
cna't you undervolt it like with a windows laptop? That might be better then crippling the systems performance
It is already undervolted out of the factory if you are running MAC OS, hince its even worse with bootcamp Windows
No. Macs don’t have a user accessible bios
You can do that few years ago (using VogateShift on github), I believe its after 2017 models, apple locked the bios, and you can no longer do that
Still no link by the video maker to the software that cools your Macbook? That's pretty bad. 🙁
This will be a big Business opportunity someone needs to make a small heatsink replacement. the fan is right next door 😉 already so i think it will be easy !!! Free idea here .!! 🤪
HTPC I agree, I hope someone out there figures out a solution
the problem is there are computer chips in the way between the CPU/iGPU and the fan, so we cant place a metal heatpipe there..
derek400004 there is always a way.!!! 🤐
It is a big business opportunity that was done on purpose, and someone already came up with solution, its called MacBook Pro.
By the way, even if you solve heat issue under 200$ and 4 hours of labor, there is a still software throttling as if CPU is hot (watch video with ice pack) so i see only one cost efficient solution, MacBook Pro
As I understand it the i5 graphics performance score is reduced from 900+ to 600+ with turbo boost off and silent fan, but is still twice that of i3 at 300+ score with turbo boost and full fan noise on?
Turbo Boost “let’s Sell the company before next Apple update”
RUclips runs poorly on Mac OS when using Chrome due to the codec the videos are served by default (forcing software decoding instead of using the CPU's native h264 decoding capability). You can install a free extension called h264ify to fix the issue and get great RUclips experience under Chrome.

Following this
i3 are dual core whereas i5 are quad core
Jorge Fernández What’s the point of quad core if it overheats and doesn’t utilize its full potential. You buy i5 just to disable the boost?
Piotr Limiting boost doesn’t disable cores, it limits the speed of your processor.
