Q: Closing lid fans turn on
Hello,
So I've had lots of issues with bootcamp on my 2014 13" Air.
Specs:
i7
8GB memory
250GB SSD
OSX 10.9.5 with all security updates
Bootcamp with windows 7 pro 64bit
Bootcamp drivers 5.1.5640
Since I purchased it, I've been running bootcamp and have had issues with fans continually running. Doing an internet recovery of OSX and then a new windows 7 image fixed the issue.
It's gotten to the point I've taken the unit to the apple store and they did hardware tests and said all is well. Just got it back today so redone my bootcamp and still same issue.
The fans run perfectly fine on battery, however when plugged in the fans will run full speed if the lid is less than 90 degrees open. If it's fully closed it will run full out or even slightly less than 90 degress open.
I do have power settings set to never sleep so AV and Windows updates can run over night without issues. As it sits the Windows side has nothing on it other than all Windows updates. No additional applications whatsoever.
Really frustrating since this has done it since I purchased it in May 2014, however it's gotten to the point it always does it now. Is it bootcamp drivers, issues with a sensor on the lid, fans, etc? Apple said it was good, however they did all their tests on the
MacBook Air, Windows 7, Pro 64bit
