Why is my MacBook Airs fan so loud

My MacBook Air is suddenly super slow and the fan has been loud for the past couple of days. I even stopped using it to let it cool down a couple of days but the issue hasn’t gone away?

MacBook Air 11″, OS X 10.11

There are ways to look into cause of this type of symptom. An Overview:

Table of Contents | Activity Monitor


• View energy consumption in Activity Monitor on Mac - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/activity-monitor/view-energy-consumption-actmntr43697/10.14/mac/10.14


Sometimes, too full system drive may cause issues; when lack of workable

free drive capacity, causes Mac to work hard in close-quarters, it gets hot.

Earlier sites for more information have recently been depreciated; their

Support content no longer accessible in same form as last week's version.

That also means, good browser bookmarks for this info, are gone now.


Take care & good luck!🌻|🐝
