Anyone else having Major Heat Issues with MacBook Pro 16?
I have a MacBook Pro 16 with i9 2.4Ghz, 64GB RAM 8TB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB
It has been randomly locking up while using it and every time I try to resume the laptop from a sleep mode or screensaver. It randomly locks when switching applications, it has locked in Safari, Chrome, Excel, Word and Mail. This has been getting progressively worse and I did do the various key commands to clear the ram etc. it made no difference it actually locked up 3 times that day alone.
As of today it is reaching temps of 95 Celsius with just having Facebook and 3 other tabs open in Safari, no video or anything and nothing else running!
If I run anything like Excel or even more demanding apps such as Final Cut Pro, FL Studio, or Logic Pro it immediately spikes into 60's then 70's then 80's Celsius. Today is the worst I have seen it with the least it was doing. Right above the Touch Bar on the outside of the case using a non contact temp gun I am getting temps of 120F
I also pulled up information on the i9 2,4Ghz processor "The Intel Core i9-9980HK is a high-end processor for laptops with eight cores based on the Coffee Lake architecture (2019 refresh, CFL-HR). The processor clocks at between 2.4 - 5 GHz and can execute up to sixteen threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The 5 GHz can only be reached using the "Thermal Velocity Boost" which allows one core to boost to 5 GHz (+100 MHz) as long as the CPU temperature is below 50°C."
This means with the temps I am getting its not boosting.
I am now having to send it in my brand new MacBook Pro to Apple but I 'm not convinced this is going to fix the issue as the small slots in the back where it vents out are partially obstructed by the screen when the screen is not at 90 degrees but tipped back it creates a more restricted path and forces the air down onto the desk.
Is this overheat issue just my MacBook Pro or are others having similar experiences?
