Early 2015 Macbook Pro overheating issue even when doing a simple task Hello all, I have an Early 2015 Macbook Pro with macOS Monterey, 16GB RAM, and 1TB Samsung 970 EVO. Recently replaced the new battery and everything looks brand new. no internal dust all in min condition however, my MacBook keeps getting hotter even if I'm trying to do a smaller task. Mostly CPU Core 1 and CPU PECI are the only two things that get extremely hotter than others. I have put a new thermal past but I still don't have any luck :( The system fan won't automatically kick in until the Mac gets extremely hot let's say around 100 Celsius + so I decided to use 3rd party fan controller to keep my fan running without stopping. Have anyone have the issue that I'm having? or any solution to this issue? Check the screenshot of the temperature.

Having the CPU at 80C when playing a game is perfectly normal behavior especially on a laptop.

If you are concerned the laptop cooling system is not functioning correctly, you can run the Apple Diagnostic.

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve the cooling issue.
