MacBook Pro 2018 : I have max of 4 tabs running(Anime, Netflix and RUclips mostly) and RUclips..I only watch 1080p nothing more. I don't use any app other than the default on it, only mails and zoom calls...but Mac started to heat up a lot these days why soo?!
1. Don't push your laptop too much 2. Don't place it over soft surfaces 3. Don't trust 3rd party apps (temperature, fan controlling) 4. Avoid using Chrome 5. If you don't know, don't open your laptop 6. Delete apps that you don't use, that run in the background 7. Use original charger only 8. Reset SMC.
if these macbooks are struggling with heat issues by just running chrome, stay the heck away from them. Wait for Apple to fix these design issues. It's not acceptable.
Great video! If I use a second monitor with my 16" MacBook Pro, should I use it in clamshell or should I leave it open? I'm usually using my bigger display. Thanks! 🙏
Using in clamshell leads to far lower temps, it's a huge difference. macbook left open with second monitor leads to overheating. power consumption goes from 4W to 20W immediately, heat and fans spike
Some more tips: - when an external monitor is attached, close the macbook (if you don‘t need the smaller screen). Seemingly this avoids that the GPU goes in a highpower mode. -the Intel Power Gadget gives info about temperature etc. - there are turbo boost apps, that allow to switch off the turboboost mode of the CPU., which reduces temperature by 20 degree Celsius and extends battery life, but performance goes down too. But it is nicely quiet
Very very impressive videography, the implementation of different lightings and that ice cube worked really well....from an Apple admirer and practicing minimalist here.
I have a cheap cooling pad with fans and believe me it does work wonders keeping it cool. Just make sure there is space between the computer and the fans
So no third-party fan-controlling apps or temperature-indicating apps. Got it? What about general maintenance apps such as CleanMyMac? Are they really helping?
the most efficient way to clean your mac is to format your mac, and reininstall macOS. Keep your personal files on cloud or flashdrive. and just renstall everything from time to time. Once you've done it a few times, its a simple process. I have no experience with cleanmymac, so I can't comment.
@@TomScryleus Thank you so much, for your reply! That's what I've been doing for the past few years. Normally I did it once a year, every time a new MacOS was released. It was a good chance to do clean install. I didn't even use Time Machine. I installed all the apps manually one by one, and then moved back all my files from an external hard-drive or from OneDrive/Dropbox, and all the calendar, contacts and other apps info from iCloud. This year, however, since my MacBook Air from mid 2012, won't be supporting Big Sur, and the system was starting to freeze a lot, and the fans to spin like crazy with just one or two apps like Mail or Word open, I decided to format the computer and clean install Catalina again. I was using Cleanmymac (the paid version), but it felt that it was consuming more resources when it was working in the background than when it was completely closed, so I finally decided to uninstall it. I am not sure if I am better off with or without it, though.
Found this very helpful, and yes, I won't be using any fan control software now, in fact I had suspected that might not be a good idea, in case they over-rided or interfered with my mac's own ability to utilise the fans, so THANKYOU, for confirming that. :))
Hello there..I just subscribed..I got the macbook 2020 i5 a few weeks ago.. So, you don't think that these high, albeit normal, temperatures will affect the laptop in the long term? Thanks for the help in advance
I personally don't think so. but here is the thing, EVEN if they do, they will do so maybe 5-6 years from now. A lot will happen in 5 years in tech. You will probably get a new macbook by that time anyway. If for no other reason, the battery will get a lot worse.
i've had this problem since yesterday when I updated to big sur. my fans are litterally always running and my macbook pro is running hot when I open word or something. i don't know what to do. 😳

Hello, I’m planning on purchasing the next gen console playstation 5, for almost all of my gaming needs. However, I love playing the Java edition of Minecraft. My MacBook gets quite hot when I play Java Minecraft, which could possibly damage my MacBook.

It's work! When not use google chrome my mac get cool in 10 minute. wow! i saw in activity monitor app safari, it lower cpu working percent. and after not use it, my wacom pentablet(bluetooth mode) not lag. actually work! Thank you
For MacBook Pro 16, when you transcoding some proxy and it throttled to 1.0GHZ, what you need is put it into a refrigerator, and let it finish the transcoding or exporting, you will see it runs around 3.2 GHz while processing videos. Because Final Cut utilize GPU a lot and Macbook pro use the same heat pipe to cool both CPU and GPU, your CPU temperature will be affected by an overheating GPU, since your MacBook pro is an air cooling system, the cooler ambient temperature you can create for the computer, the better CPU result you will get. Also, you can use icepack, or dry ice has an even better result, but it will make your laptop bottom super wet which is not recommended for those who located in a wet area, but places like California and Nevada, those super dry places, I think it's ok.
Hey, man. how come you have only 6k subs? The quality of the production is insane. I never subscribe to anybody anymore, but I couldn't help myself not to help your channel.
I think a big part of the problem is that people want to do professional workstation things on a thin and light laptop computer, doesn't make any sense to me. Great video as always!
Good point! Truth be told, I SHOULD be doing my work on an iMac. And I probably will get the imac, once they make smaller bezels. But I gotta say, me personally, I think my macbook 16 handles my work GREAT.
I agree ... partially. I will indeed be moving back to an iMac once an ARM based machine comes out. Then again, I think a BIGGER part of the problem is that Apple markets and sells their 16" MBPs as desktop replacements...but don't actually design them as such...thin over function. My issue is that the 16" i9 / 5500M should not automatically draw 18W+ simply because I connected an external monitor. AT IDLE. Using Bootcamp / Windows with the same hardware...IT DOES NOT DO THIS. Thus it's Apple's poorly designed driver. That said, the new 5600M 16" appears to be performing far better than my 16" i9 / 5500m in terms of heat, fans, etc..despite its superior, more powerful performance.
devi dasa meh I just got mine full spec (except HD got 2gb ssd) while on boot camp and running warzone it works like a dream until it tells you your battery’s low while it’s plugged in 😂😂 turned off battery data management shall see if that helps tonight when I play
running around 5 tabs on chrome gets me around 200 degrees on a new mac book pro (2020) with the default fan control using the default auto fan conrol is just bad advice, it doesnt do anything while if i run a fan controller it gets it down t oaround 130 degree's
I have a base model MacBook Pro 13’ 2020 and it gets really hot and loud when I play games like the sims and minecraft. Is that just because it’s above it’s ability or is it something else?
if it doesn't shut itself off, its not a problem. its normal for a laptop that thin to get hot when doing heavy tasks like gaming. the loudness is because the fans are spinning fast to keep it cool.
Hi, Tom! Thank you so much for your video! I know im gonna look crazy asking this, considering this whole video, but I've had my MacBook Pro 16 base model, for 5 days and Im having this "overheating" issues. Im new to Mac, so Im not sure if this is normal. Taking in consideration everything you said, I still don't understand why it gets so hot!! For now, I've only use it to be on the internet, on Safari and with 3 or 4 tabs open. Nothing to crazy. Im considering taking it to the Apple Store, if they open this week. Again, thank you so much for your video. Have a great day
If you feel uncertain then definititly take it to apple store to check. If it doesnt shut down then its not overheating. If it doesnt shut down nothing is wrong. Its normal that it gets hot, because its a powerful machine. Just like a car engine, it will generate heat. Because it is thinn, you can have big fans or large vents, and therefor the heat will linger get the macbook hot.
Hey tom i saw u talked about the turbo boost switcher app in ur other video. I wanted to know if it is safe to use it from time to time when u r not doing heavy tasks. I have a small concern if this app has any side effects of using it. Also do you use it in ur MacBook pro 16 inch??
Its safe and good to use. Only downside is that if you forget to turn it on when doing heavy use. :) I dont use turbo switch becuase I dont have any problems with my Macbook. I think I experience the same heat and fan noise issues as others, but it just doesnt bother me.
I have a Macbook Pro 2017 and it heats up so much when I'm on google classroom. Whenever I teach online, through google classroom, my MacBook gets really hot and the fan gets extremely loud just within 15 minutes. My battery life has also shortened. I don't know if this is due to the "overheating" but it was fine before google classroom. I'm worried that I'm breaking my MacBook. I'm teaching online 5 days out of the week. What should I do? Any advice? This might be a stupid question but is there a laptop that can do the same amount of work without "overheating"? If I have to buy a new laptop, what should I be looking for? I don't know much about computers and laptops...
Im using Macbook pro 2019 15inch with 16g memory. When used for obs sometimes temp reached 40 to 42 celcius degrees at some point, then fan gets triggered to run with loud sound. My initial thoughts could it be due to need additional memory and graphics card? Will using egpu help?
More Memory dont anything. Egpu might help. But i dont think your macbook is in any danger. Your macbook will shut down if anything is to hot. Its loud because the fans are small and have to run fast to keep it cool. Most laptops have this issue. Its the price for. Having suck powerful cpu in small and thin laptop.
Sir question? How about on macbook retina sir, which has ghost image or image retention problem? Do you have any solution for this? Any advice or solution to prevent this? Ty very much!🙏🙏🙏
Ty dude I used a fan control I was so paraonid that I wanted it to be colder but I didn’t relize putting it on not a flat surface was dangerous so I used it I think it got dust inside it started smelling toxic and like getting hot and idk what to do I think I should go to apple and get my fans cleaned what do u recommend but ty u so much !
My macbook overheats (gets VERY hot and does the fan) every second i get on it and (i have chrome but i cant delete it cuz of reasons) and i just want to yeet it across the room! How do i stop this, i keep it on a flat surface but it still sounds like a plane taking off
Thanks for the video. I’ll definitely have to give some of these things a try. Because my 2016 mbp is laggy and the fans get so loud just doing very basic things really. And even worse now that i put an external monitor on it.
Apple has done a pretty good job at making people think ALL third party products are just bad. That aside, can't wait to see the new ARM chips come out. Maybe it will be the final push for Intel to get out of their monopolistic mindset
Fan control apps have been super useful for me over the past 9 years. The system fan curve created by Apple is not always sufficient. For a MacBook Pro 16 with an external monitor will make the palm rests super hot, and it's unacceptable. The only way I can keep my MBP open with an external monitor is to use a fan control app (e.g. iStat Menus). Just observe and manage the system resources, keep your intake and exhaust vents clear from obstruction (elevating when you can), and leverage slightly higher fan speeds in some cases and you'll have a cooler MBP. I have to laugh at tip #8 "Reinstall the entire system every 3-4 months" ...you advise against fan control apps but suggest reinstalling every 90 days?!
Thanks for the great tips Tom!👍🏻 I have a question, does an i7 get hot faster than i5? Or the more cores in a processor generate more heat? For example, the 6 core i7 in the 16” MacBook generate more heat than a MacBook 13” quad core i7 processor?
in theory yes. the frequency and voltage is higher. BUT remember, the cooling process is important here. and the macbook 16 has 2 fans, where the 13 has 1 fan, and the 16 has bigger vents.
@@jordawesome1716 Is 16 inch more likely to overheat then? My 2019 i9 is unusable because of this, I'm wondering whether an M1 can handle video editing better?
@@TaxingIsThieving I don't own the M1 or M2 16'. I have the 2019 intel I7 version and depending on what you video edit it seems to edit videos fine. I am no pro video editor, but I occasionally run it and runs good enough. But the issue that bottlenecks me a lot is battery life and thermals. ever since the last 2 years of Mac OS versions, my laptop has been heating up like hell. The M1 Pro chip is significantly more powerful than the intel one in the 2019 i7/i9 models.
“Reinstall every app”. Cool. Can you please elaborate on most efficient and quickest way to do this? As to the prevention of losing work, and settings, etc...? Thanks very much.
Save your work on icloud or google drive. And just login after you reinstall all. You can follow this recovery mode guide to clean macos. www.google.se/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/186860/how-to-reinstall-os-x-on-your-mac-wipe-your-drive-and-create-usb-installation-media/amp/
Apple does not have embed a thermal control utility or I should say they don’t have hyper threading control. Apple grants all the resources to apps as they want to grab. No wonder cpu and gpu get hot. Base clock on a cpu can be 2.2 ghz and then with throttle up ...it can go at a higher frequency. This heat thing also is heat pipe...poor thermal grease...dust ....and you’ve also touched on some of these things. The heat is hard to control in MacBook. Fan control is necessary. Hyper threading control is necessary. The operation as you discussed has an effect. We can agree that heat is a MacBook problem. Also it’s control has to go beyond let the system fan control and keep it on a hard surface. I have dropped my temperature 15c by dust removal and regrease the chips with fan and throttling control that I manage. Seems that I’m willing to work slower in some misbehaved apps and only use maximum resources when I want with apps that I want to use with full resources. Rather wear out fans than degrade processors.
so im thinking of getting a new MacBook preferably air.... so I hear this getting too hot issue.... I currently have a mac air early 2015 and don't have issues with temps... do I dare upgrade to the new mac air 2020?
Ohhh.. I'm using Macs fun in this exact moment and I was happy with it. How can I know what is exactly the Mac's temperature, since I can not trust in this app? Please, help me (I'm in Brazil).
A question for anybody - does the amount of folders and stuff on your desktop affect the temperature of your Mac. Someone told me years ago tat with a pc, a heavily item loaded desktop will use power and so this might increase running temperature ..Any ideas ????
no, the folder and icon on the desktop are just "links" to programs. unless you click on them, they are just images. doesn't affect battery or performance at all. have a nice day.
#newsub Nice video Tom. There's a lot of misunderstading about the 16' inch model and with videos like this makes easy to understand how the macbook works. Waiting my 1st macbook 16' and my 1st migration to MacOS 🤣 Greetings from Peru.

“Shrimps on the barbie.” 🤣 Love it! Honestly, I think this is your best looking video so far, Tom! Your b roll is looking great, and your minimalistic set up is fantastic. The lighting is on point too! Keep following your heart when it comes to the topics you cover. What initially made me subscribe to your channel was your sincerity and honesty. Keep that up! I’m always happy to watch your videos to the very end of your “behind the vlog” segment. Tech videos today by people like MKBHD and Rene Ritchie are fantastically awesome, but they’re almost too polished and sometimes feel a bit...forced. I think that people will (if they don’t already) gravitate toward RUclipsrs that are more raw and sincere. In any case, you’re doing some fantastic work, my friend, and I hope it’s bringing you the fulfillment you’ve been hoping for! (And if you’re ever up for bring a regular average Joe...or Rob 🤣...in for a chat for one of your videos, hit me up! I’d love to see you riff a bit on tech and life with someone who gets what you’re doing, which would only add to that honest feeling that your channel has to offer!) Thanks for all you do!!
Great video Tom. I'll have to check-out the iPhone 2G video. I didn't realize I missed it. In regards to the 3rd party chargers, but I recently switched to using a docking station (since early February). I'm not sure how you feel about those? It delivers 87W charge to my laptop while also charging my 32" 4K display along with 4 external hard drives I use all day, every day for work. The only reason I purchased it was to get rid of all the messy wires. That drove me mad.
Hey Michelle. Im sure a lot of 3rd party chargers are good, but I think a lot of people will buy cheapest solutions, thats why I recommend people to not get bad quality chargers. If I were you I would just google reviews, and hear from other peoples experiences of the docking station you use. Which is it by the way? what is it called?

Same! Mines a custom order with a RAM upgrade, and it’s still in customs in Shanghai.
It's work!
When not use google chrome my mac get cool in 10 minute. wow!
i saw in activity monitor app safari, it lower cpu working percent.
and after not use it, my wacom pentablet(bluetooth mode) not lag.
actually work!
Thank you
For MacBook Pro 16, when you transcoding some proxy and it throttled to 1.0GHZ, what you need is put it into a refrigerator, and let it finish the transcoding or exporting, you will see it runs around 3.2 GHz while processing videos. Because Final Cut utilize GPU a lot and Macbook pro use the same heat pipe to cool both CPU and GPU, your CPU temperature will be affected by an overheating GPU, since your MacBook pro is an air cooling system, the cooler ambient temperature you can create for the computer, the better CPU result you will get. Also, you can use icepack, or dry ice has an even better result, but it will make your laptop bottom super wet which is not recommended for those who located in a wet area, but places like California and Nevada, those super dry places, I think it's ok.
wow! very helpful! btw can i know the bgm you used for this video. it was very pleasing to my ears, TQ!
Hey, man. how come you have only 6k subs? The quality of the production is insane. I never subscribe to anybody anymore, but I couldn't help myself not to help your channel.
thanks George. so kind. :)
I think maybe its because its a variety channel.
Finally, a decent video with great explanation! :) Thanks!
I think a big part of the problem is that people want to do professional workstation things on a thin and light laptop computer, doesn't make any sense to me. Great video as always!
Good point! Truth be told, I SHOULD be doing my work on an iMac. And I probably will get the imac, once they make smaller bezels. But I gotta say, me personally, I think my macbook 16 handles my work GREAT.
I agree ... partially. I will indeed be moving back to an iMac once an ARM based machine comes out. Then again, I think a BIGGER part of the problem is that Apple markets and sells their 16" MBPs as desktop replacements...but don't actually design them as such...thin over function. My issue is that the 16" i9 / 5500M should not automatically draw 18W+ simply because I connected an external monitor. AT IDLE. Using Bootcamp / Windows with the same hardware...IT DOES NOT DO THIS. Thus it's Apple's poorly designed driver. That said, the new 5600M 16" appears to be performing far better than my 16" i9 / 5500m in terms of heat, fans, etc..despite its superior, more powerful performance.
devi dasa meh I just got mine full spec (except HD got 2gb ssd) while on boot camp and running warzone it works like a dream until it tells you your battery’s low while it’s plugged in 😂😂 turned off battery data management shall see if that helps tonight when I play
running around 5 tabs on chrome gets me around 200 degrees on a new mac book pro (2020) with the default fan control
using the default auto fan conrol is just bad advice, it doesnt do anything while if i run a fan controller it gets it down t oaround 130 degree's
I am new to the Mac OS system, is using Macs fan control ok to use?
I personally avoid 3rd party fan control apps. I trust that macOS controls the fans for me.
Can you also make another video on how to get better battery life? I have been watching this video for 7 minutes and my MacBook lost 7 percent.
I have a base model MacBook Pro 13’ 2020 and it gets really hot and loud when I play games like the sims and minecraft. Is that just because it’s above it’s ability or is it something else?
if it doesn't shut itself off, its not a problem.
its normal for a laptop that thin to get hot when doing heavy tasks like gaming. the loudness is because the fans are spinning fast to keep it cool.
Hi, Tom! Thank you so much for your video! I know im gonna look crazy asking this, considering this whole video, but I've had my MacBook Pro 16 base model, for 5 days and Im having this "overheating" issues. Im new to Mac, so Im not sure if this is normal.
Taking in consideration everything you said, I still don't understand why it gets so hot!! For now, I've only use it to be on the internet, on Safari and with 3 or 4 tabs open. Nothing to crazy.
Im considering taking it to the Apple Store, if they open this week.
Again, thank you so much for your video.
Have a great day
If you feel uncertain then definititly take it to apple store to check. If it doesnt shut down then its not overheating. If it doesnt shut down nothing is wrong.
Its normal that it gets hot, because its a powerful machine. Just like a car engine, it will generate heat. Because it is thinn, you can have big fans or large vents, and therefor the heat will linger get the macbook hot.
@@TomScryleus Thank you so much!!! I hope you have a great day!!
Thank you so much! I placed my Apple TV box under my Mac and it became cold. Saved my life!!!!
I'm just tired of hearing this noisy fan
Same ;(
Same
same
Get Mac Control Fan, it works and it stops the fan noise.
@@katharenadeng1976 ok I’ll try that
Hey tom i saw u talked about the turbo boost switcher app in ur other video. I wanted to know if it is safe to use it from time to time when u r not doing heavy tasks. I have a small concern if this app has any side effects of using it. Also do you use it in ur MacBook pro 16 inch??
Its safe and good to use. Only downside is that if you forget to turn it on when doing heavy use. :)
I dont use turbo switch becuase I dont have any problems with my
Macbook. I think I experience the same heat and fan noise issues as others, but it just doesnt bother me.
Tom Scryleus thanks 😊 liked ur videos.
The fan came in thought my computer was gonna blow I was so damn scared cuz I just bought it lol
I have a Macbook Pro 2017 and it heats up so much when I'm on google classroom. Whenever I teach online, through google classroom, my MacBook gets really hot and the fan gets extremely loud just within 15 minutes. My battery life has also shortened. I don't know if this is due to the "overheating" but it was fine before google classroom. I'm worried that I'm breaking my MacBook. I'm teaching online 5 days out of the week. What should I do? Any advice? This might be a stupid question but is there a laptop that can do the same amount of work without "overheating"? If I have to buy a new laptop, what should I be looking for? I don't know much about computers and laptops...
heard
Tom Scryleus he has so many questions und your answer is heard?
Du Hund
Bruh I kept lagging in my zoom calls because of how hot it would get and I tried the flat surface and it stop heating up
Im using Macbook pro 2019 15inch with 16g memory. When used for obs sometimes temp reached 40 to 42 celcius degrees at some point, then fan gets triggered to run with loud sound. My initial thoughts could it be due to need additional memory and graphics card? Will using egpu help?
More Memory dont anything.
Egpu might help. But i dont think your macbook is in any danger. Your macbook will shut down if anything is to hot.
Its loud because the fans are small and have to run fast to keep it cool. Most laptops have this issue. Its the price for. Having suck powerful cpu in small and thin laptop.
This is why Apple are moving to ARM. Better thermals, more power efficient which results in better battery life and better performance
yes it will be really interesting to see. if you haven't seen it, I've made a video about my thoughts regarding the ARM.
Better performance?.........can an arm 16 inch able to run as fast as 9980hk?
@@rohitbishoyi1095 expected to. even the new ipad chip scores competitively against the i7s and i9s
I bought a 2020 Mac but I’ll see how arm goes. But I’m expecting it to be good cause do they do make great processors.
Can it run Windows?
Sir question? How about on macbook retina sir, which has ghost image or image retention problem? Do you have any solution for this? Any advice or solution to prevent this? Ty very much!🙏🙏🙏
Macbooks are known for ghosting issues, i adress this in a macbook pro 16 problems video. Check it out.
Tom Scryleus sir ty very much
when i have to use chrome for online school: 👁 💧 👄 💧 👁
Same here
ikr
Wait can’t you just use another browser?
@@princesidon coz there is no place like chrome 😢
Ty dude I used a fan control I was so paraonid that I wanted it to be colder but I didn’t relize putting it on not a flat surface was dangerous so I used it I think it got dust inside it started smelling toxic and like getting hot and idk what to do I think I should go to apple and get my fans cleaned what do u recommend but ty u so much !
That ice cube on the MacBook is giving me anxirty
don't worry.. computer works fine.
but I admit, it wasn't my brightest idea.
Wow dude you’re a beast bro thank you!!!!! Just saved me from buying a new one 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My macbook overheats (gets VERY hot and does the fan) every second i get on it and (i have chrome but i cant delete it cuz of reasons) and i just want to yeet it across the room! How do i stop this, i keep it on a flat surface but it still sounds like a plane taking off
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
do you think a laptop case can have an effect on making the laptop hot
Depends on the case. If it doenst block the vents its fine. I use a case.
My Mac after opening a new tab:
*Gets to extreme levels of heat*
Thanks for the video. I’ll definitely have to give some of these things a try. Because my 2016 mbp is laggy and the fans get so loud just doing very basic things really. And even worse now that i put an external monitor on it.
Apple has done a pretty good job at making people think ALL third party products are just bad. That aside, can't wait to see the new ARM chips come out. Maybe it will be the final push for Intel to get out of their monopolistic mindset
Thank you so much 🙏🏻💫 the tips really helped and removing chrome and resetting the SMC made the fans stop the noise and “overheat” thank you again 🤗🌟
Fan control apps have been super useful for me over the past 9 years. The system fan curve created by Apple is not always sufficient. For a MacBook Pro 16 with an external monitor will make the palm rests super hot, and it's unacceptable. The only way I can keep my MBP open with an external monitor is to use a fan control app (e.g. iStat Menus). Just observe and manage the system resources, keep your intake and exhaust vents clear from obstruction (elevating when you can), and leverage slightly higher fan speeds in some cases and you'll have a cooler MBP. I have to laugh at tip #8 "Reinstall the entire system every 3-4 months" ...you advise against fan control apps but suggest reinstalling every 90 days?!
Those Tips are a throwback into windows xp mumbo jambo magic tricks, and if everything fails reinstall 🤣🤣🤣 bs bingo
exactly
even with everday browsing its friken 150 degrees fahrenheit, one or two tabs open, nothing else
Great video, great b-rolls and lightning, nice storytelling
Thanks for the great tips Tom!👍🏻 I have a question, does an i7 get hot faster than i5? Or the more cores in a processor generate more heat? For example, the 6 core i7 in the 16” MacBook generate more heat than a MacBook 13” quad core i7 processor?
in theory yes. the frequency and voltage is higher. BUT remember, the cooling process is important here. and the macbook 16 has 2 fans, where the 13 has 1 fan, and the 16 has bigger vents.
the 13 also has no dedicated GPU so keep that in mind too. the 16 inch or even 15 inch are quite a bit more powerful imo
@@jordawesome1716 Is 16 inch more likely to overheat then? My 2019 i9 is unusable because of this, I'm wondering whether an M1 can handle video editing better?
@@TaxingIsThieving I don't own the M1 or M2 16'. I have the 2019 intel I7 version and depending on what you video edit it seems to edit videos fine. I am no pro video editor, but I occasionally run it and runs good enough. But the issue that bottlenecks me a lot is battery life and thermals. ever since the last 2 years of Mac OS versions, my laptop has been heating up like hell. The M1 Pro chip is significantly more powerful than the intel one in the 2019 i7/i9 models.
@@jordawesome1716 Yeah that's why I'm wondering if M1 will overheat too.
“Reinstall every app”. Cool. Can you please elaborate on most efficient and quickest way to do this? As to the prevention of losing work, and settings, etc...? Thanks very much.
Save your work on icloud or google drive.
And just login after you reinstall all.

@@TomScryleus Thanks again. Cheers.
Apple does not have embed a thermal control utility or I should say they don’t have hyper threading control. Apple grants all the resources to apps as they want to grab. No wonder cpu and gpu get hot. Base clock on a cpu can be 2.2 ghz and then with throttle up ...it can go at a higher frequency. This heat thing also is heat pipe...poor thermal grease...dust ....and you’ve also touched on some of these things. The heat is hard to control in MacBook. Fan control is necessary. Hyper threading control is necessary. The operation as you discussed has an effect. We can agree that heat is a MacBook problem. Also it’s control has to go beyond let the system fan control and keep it on a hard surface. I have dropped my temperature 15c by dust removal and regrease the chips with fan and throttling control that I manage. Seems that I’m willing to work slower in some misbehaved apps and only use maximum resources when I want with apps that I want to use with full resources. Rather wear out fans than degrade processors.
Thanks for sharing your view Phil.
Have a nice weekend.
so im thinking of getting a new MacBook preferably air.... so I hear this getting too hot issue.... I currently have a mac air early 2015 and don't have issues with temps... do I dare upgrade to the new mac air 2020?
thumbnail be like : -
overheated mac
book no more
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE SEEN ALL DAY LMAOOOOO
do you think if i use opera gx it would be bad?
Awesome! Thank uuuu
:)
Ohhh.. I'm using Macs fun in this exact moment and I was happy with it. How can I know what is exactly the Mac's temperature, since I can not trust in this app? Please, help me (I'm in Brazil).
A question for anybody - does the amount of folders and stuff on your desktop affect the temperature of your Mac. Someone told me years ago tat with a pc, a heavily item loaded desktop will use power and so this might increase running temperature ..Any ideas ????
no, the folder and icon on the desktop are just "links" to programs. unless you click on them, they are just images. doesn't affect battery or performance at all.
have a nice day.
Hey Tom great channel and seems so good as youve put in so much effort into this video - what camera do you use? Loved the shot!
Tom : don’t use fan controlling apps!
MacBook air : wait until the cpu thermal trothles to start the fan
YEAH, its a real shame how the macbook air doesn't have the best cooling solution. :(
Thank you for explaining the intricacies of technology for a mortal user and not so technically oriented like myself.

#newsub Nice video Tom. There's a lot of misunderstading about the 16' inch model and with videos like this makes easy to understand how the macbook works. Waiting my 1st macbook 16' and my 1st migration to MacOS 🤣 Greetings from Peru.
As far as browsers go, Brave is built on Chromium, but is supposed to use less energy. Does it actually help cool the mbp16?
Love your vlog-like videos! 💞 enjoy seeing your personal thoughts and share in your journey too :)
Thank you so much!! so glad you liked it.
Hello sir
I have a MacBook 2015 and when I turn it on in 5mins it indicates that Mac needs to cool before I can use
Please I need assistance on this 🙏
Thank you
“Shrimps on the barbie.” 🤣 Love it! Honestly, I think this is your best looking video so far, Tom! Your b roll is looking great, and your minimalistic set up is fantastic. The lighting is on point too! Keep following your heart when it comes to the topics you cover. What initially made me subscribe to your channel was your sincerity and honesty. Keep that up! I’m always happy to watch your videos to the very end of your “behind the vlog” segment. Tech videos today by people like MKBHD and Rene Ritchie are fantastically awesome, but they’re almost too polished and sometimes feel a bit...forced. I think that people will (if they don’t already) gravitate toward RUclipsrs that are more raw and sincere. In any case, you’re doing some fantastic work, my friend, and I hope it’s bringing you the fulfillment you’ve been hoping for! (And if you’re ever up for bring a regular average Joe...or Rob 🤣...in for a chat for one of your videos, hit me up! I’d love to see you riff a bit on tech and life with someone who gets what you’re doing, which would only add to that honest feeling that your channel has to offer!) Thanks for all you do!!
thank you Robert! :)
yeah some expressions sound funny :)
Great video Tom. I'll have to check-out the iPhone 2G video. I didn't realize I missed it.
In regards to the 3rd party chargers, but I recently switched to using a docking station (since early February). I'm not sure how you feel about those?
It delivers 87W charge to my laptop while also charging my 32" 4K display along with 4 external hard drives I use all day, every day for work.
The only reason I purchased it was to get rid of all the messy wires. That drove me mad.
Hey Michelle. Im sure a lot of 3rd party chargers are good, but I think a lot of people will buy cheapest solutions, thats why I recommend people to not get bad quality chargers. If I were you I would just google reviews, and hear from other peoples experiences of the docking station you use. Which is it by the way? what is it called?
@@TomScryleus Hi Tom! I use the CalDigit TS3 Plus. I researched it for a few months before purchasing it (it's not cheap - around $280 US), but it has made all the difference in the world for me. My cables stay in place and are well hidden. It's about the size of an external hard drive, and offers multiple ports, SD Card reader, head-phone jack.
