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
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.
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...
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)
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.
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 🍎
I have a macbook air 2017 version. Paid 2k for it. 500 ssd, I7, Turbo Boost, 8g memory.... and even with all those additions made at that super enticing checkout page.... it still runs hot as hell when I do just one semi-intensive thing at a time. This is so annoying.
Chrome is so energy inefficient it’s unreal. Only Windows people praise Chrome because of how shite Explorer and Edge are. Mac owners just use Safari because it’s actually good. Let alone TouchID.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
It's because Chrome is using VP9 codec when you are watching videos and safari is using H264 Codec.Thats why you don't even have the option to watch 4K videos in Safari.VP9 codec is far superior and quality is much better compared to H64.But apple is refuse to implement vp9 decoder because of $$
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 hope this helps someone: the latest Turbo Switcher Pro has an auto setting where you can disable turbo boost above a certain fan level, say 5000. i find this to be a great solution, and the best of both worlds - turbo boost is enabled most of the time, but when the fan is starting to get too loud, turbo boost will disable. of course you can disable the setting when you want to use max processing power for something and don't mind about the fan - but this setting is really useful for preventing the fan coming on for simple tasks where max processing power is not necessary.
alot of what u get for temps rides on how hot ur ambient room temp is... for people with ac or winter use, if my ambient is say 60-65 f then its easy to keep 40c on my 13" macbook pro or 30c on my imac with an i7....Raise that room temp to 80-85 f and good luck with low temps! when people quote low cpu temps ,they often fail to mention they are in a cool room
I’m still not sure which Mac book to buy. Either the 2020 air or the 2020 pro. I like the 2020 air cause it’s cheaper and it’s gonna be popular. But I like the pro cause it can do much more than the air, and it won’t heat up very easily.
i have base model macbook air 2020 i3, and have same situation here. But after 1 year using this mac, i decided to Re-paste with Thermal Grizzly kryounaut, after that my mac is more +30% performance with low temp and low RPM. :)
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.
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
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.
I am so glad that Apple has completely replaced the Butterfly keyboard with the Magic version. Got it on my new M1 MacBook Air and I like it even more than the keyboard on my older HP Spectre X360, which I also loved.
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
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.
DUDE! This is amazing!!! I have 2014 15 inch macbook pro. And I bit struggled with noise and how warm it was. Now I have it since yesterday and I did notice huge improvement in battery life and temperature. But weirdly not with performance. I will obviously turn it off with Lightroom and Final Cut. But I really don't need this "power" for chrome and youtube... :) Thanks. Cannot wait for iPad comparison video. :)
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
Those who are looking for a Windows laptop with affordable price i would recommend Hp envy 13 with i7 10 gen with mx250 but if you want macos this air should be good for light usage and this thing is very click while opening programms and you will listen fan while installing programs and gets hot.This is my personal experience .I am new to macos
The good thing is that macOS doesn't get slower if you throttle the performance this way, it still feels snappy. That lower performance mode that Windows have makes everything painfully slow
There shouldn't be such a massive difference between browsers. Almost 100% sure it's becuase Chrome is not using the GPU for video decoding - it defaults to giving you videos using Google's VP9 codec, which Apple doesn't support (even though the hardware for it is there). CPU decoding is far less efficient hence the high temps. On Safari, they probably default youtube to using AVC1 (H.264) which uses hardware-accelerated-decoding. You'll also notice not being able to go above 1080p since google only provides higher res videos using vp9 But on the other topic of Turbo, great advice... most people won't notice any performance difference while gaining mentioned benefits. There should be at least 1 power saving profile included in MacOS that does this or something similar!
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
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!!!
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.
Meltbook Air LOL!!! Eases the pain from spending €1,700,- on a i5 16GB MBA... I now have the Turbo Boost Switcher on (or actually off...) all the time. Great looks, mediocre performance, my mistake buying Apple.

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.
Daniel K Its so helpful! Thanks!
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.
True, but you still can’t deny that the current cooling philosophy in MacBooks is trash.
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...
Daniel K Any update? Is it still doing fine?
When you have to tune turbo boost clocks down on MacOS, you know Apple screwed us again..
why apple why???
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
@@classicrockonly To be fair the 8500U is twice as powerful, but at idle that is too warm even then

@@PhilfreezeCH And you don't have to worry about death by unfixable CPU vulnerabilities
Apple didn’t upgraded the cooling system cuz the quadcore would be better or same as the 13 inch pro.
Peter Vaňušanik I’m super happy with my 13 inch base model tho.
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.
If that is the case then why did they put out a regular Imac that beats the Imac pro?
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.
ILostMyAccuracy only the Mac Pro can beat the 18 core iMac Pro
I am one of the biggest Apple fan boys but $1000 and they couldn’t put in a damn heat pipe? 100c on RUclips is unacceptable.
I guess they will improve the turbo boost curve after few weeks. Just like the 2018 macbook pro
Stupid apple fan boys finally catching on now that apple take the piss? Wow
I think they want to keep the slim form factor (not make it thicker) so you end up making a very thin laptop with ... crap cooling.
The noise might not be acceptable, but who care what the die temperature is.
@@edcooper2396 Is that smoke I can see?
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 🍎

I am assuming you're in a room with Air Conditioning. Imagine how hot the laptop will get in upcoming summer season.
Good point.
Exactly. I use my Dell when its 35°C in summer, this macbook air would melt
It’ll die like countless 2018 airs did
@@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.
It'll got to 100°C as it always does under heavy load - doesn't matter what the ambient is.
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?
for me cooling is more better than having quod cores. İf cooling is bad not quod core full product is becoming horrible
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
@@OverclockerX
sure, i was thinking buying a macbook air but well. İ guess mac os will be in only virtual machine
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.
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.
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.
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
This is what happens when the fan doesn't have any contact with the actual heatsink. Lmao
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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
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"

@@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
Thank you for making these videos no one else does this and these are so helpful
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!!!
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
What are you using to keep track of temps and fan speeds?
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.
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.
does it still work
It's because Chrome is using VP9 codec when you are watching videos and safari is using H264 Codec.Thats why you don't even have the option to watch 4K videos in Safari.VP9 codec is far superior and quality is much better compared to H64.But apple is refuse to implement vp9 decoder because of $$

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
i hope this helps someone: the latest Turbo Switcher Pro has an auto setting where you can disable turbo boost above a certain fan level, say 5000. i find this to be a great solution, and the best of both worlds - turbo boost is enabled most of the time, but when the fan is starting to get too loud, turbo boost will disable. of course you can disable the setting when you want to use max processing power for something and don't mind about the fan - but this setting is really useful for preventing the fan coming on for simple tasks where max processing power is not necessary.
Almost cooked my thigh by forgetting how hot my mac was from a zoom meeting and moved to my bed to do homework.
alot of what u get for temps rides on how hot ur ambient room temp is... for people with ac or winter use, if my ambient is say 60-65 f then its easy to keep 40c on my 13" macbook pro or 30c on my imac with an i7....Raise that room temp to 80-85 f and good luck with low temps! when people quote low cpu temps ,they often fail to mention they are in a cool room

It's engineered to behave like this. These machines are not made to last. This is what planned obsolescence looks like.
There shouldn't be such a massive difference between browsers.
Almost 100% sure it's becuase Chrome is not using the GPU for video decoding - it defaults to giving you videos using Google's VP9 codec, which Apple doesn't support (even though the hardware for it is there). CPU decoding is far less efficient hence the high temps.
On Safari, they probably default youtube to using AVC1 (H.264) which uses hardware-accelerated-decoding. You'll also notice not being able to go above 1080p since google only provides higher res videos using vp9
But on the other topic of Turbo, great advice... most people won't notice any performance difference while gaining mentioned benefits. There should be at least 1 power saving profile included in MacOS that does this or something similar!

I use the 2019 macbook pro 13 inch and most of the time it gets really how even doing simple task on safari only. Idk how else to fix that anymore 😩
agree
me: trying to listen to this vid, my fan: NOOOOOO!!
So what’s the point of upgrading to i5? Isn’t it better to stick with the base i3 model?
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.
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.
@@bradleyanderson247 fully agree with you ;)
@@bradleyanderson247 The machine is fine, all superlights are thermally constrained.
Haha when the app stops responding you’re going to have a Meltbook Air...as in melted keyboard...
Meltbook Air LOL!!! Eases the pain from spending €1,700,- on a i5 16GB MBA... I now have the Turbo Boost Switcher on (or actually off...) all the time. Great looks, mediocre performance, my mistake buying Apple.
what are these softwares that you put to monitor the gpu and cpu called and are they free ? Thank you for the video!!
