by Lorenzo Carroll TechnicianOverheating of Laptop can cause panic and stress. A laptop with a loudly whirring fan that is hot to touch is a serious concern. Users don’t understand the cause behind it and what measures can be taken in such situation. But it’s not that much difficult to get rid of as the users think. Being worried won’t help you out in any case. MacBook Support provides all the possible ways and steps to be taken in case of an overheating MacBook. Check out what’s wrong with the temperature, if the temperature is warm, the fan spins with no apparent reason. Faults can be in huge range but can be resolved with these steps:
Avoid Use of Chrome:
"Runaway applications can cause the processor to work overtime and affect the heat level of your computer" informed by Apple. Chrome will lap the field if the apps used on your MacBook are in a road race. When the CPU of your system is running overtime, its cooling fan starts heating. In order to see the apps that are using more CPU resources, go to Activity Monitor and click the CPU tab. You will see the list of app and on top is the higher percentage of CPU resources used. The usual suspects are Google Chrome Helper and Google Chrome. So, switch to another that is showing the highest percentage (more than 70%) for Chrome.
Test Fans:
The issue can be in cooling of Fans that might not be working properly itself. Use hardware diagnostic tool, Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics and can plug out all the external peripherals. Restart the system and hold down the D key to start the diagnosis. To start the test, follow the onscreen instructions. You will be reported if any hardware issues are there within the system.
Clean Mac: Passageways to get maximum airflow.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to go into the depth. Bring a screwdriver and remove the bottom panel of the laptop to clean out any dust, dirt or grime that might have collected there. To clean it properly, use a can of compressed air to blow away any debris. A lint-free cloth can also be used to wipe it away. Sections need to be cleaned are mainly fans, vents, and the entire edge of MacBook.
More methods to prevent your system from overheating can be keeping tabs to a reasonable minimum, slow the multitasking roll, keep current, and reset the SMC & much more.
