After instaling new macOS on my MacBook Pro it continuously heats up to 75C while doing nothing. I resterted my mac couple times with no effect, and i checked if there is no any app running in background. Is anyone got same problem after that update?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
After every major upgrade there are processes that occur in the background such as new indexes and databases for such things as Photos or Search. These take time and the system needs to be up and running to resolve it. Try setting system NOT to log out or shut down for a day or so and you should see improvement.
Apples lack of response on this is deafening. At least they could acknowledge so many user issues. Chrome is not the issue on my laptop. When the fans spin up I look at activity monitor and nothing suggests problems. (15 inch 2015 macbook pro). I simply opened safari to look at my checking account and the fans immediately started spinning. Someone else suggested there is an issue with Big Sur causing turboboost to go into intermittent surging. Maybe? Have not checked it out yet. Feels like Apple has gotten arrogant. So many software upgrades and using us as their beta testers. I am not going to invest in a brand new laptop. Is this a scheme? About to abandon Apple.
Could this be the problem that is causing flicker in the external monitor. I have 15 inch macbook pro, bought last year. External monitor flickers after upgrade to bigsur. Not sure if heating and flicker are related.
I have not had any display flicker on my external Thunderbolt. All good there. I have noticed that it has slowy quieted down over the past week. I wonder if it is indexing by the OS. I've continued to use Chrome with no changes. Just let the OS do it's own thing for a week.
I have the same problem... fan running hard, computer heating up and battery running out of juice fast! Ive checked and i have no background apps running . I am having to recharge three times a day.
Its a freakin joke.. my mac book pro is not even 2 years old. It has the 2.8 GHz quad-core intel core i7 ... it is unbelievable to me that they would not have a fix for this... i can't use my computer for even 2 hours without the computer dying because of overheating and the fan running at full power. APPLE... GET YOUR **** TOGETHER !
I updated to Big Sur yesterday afternoon and my MacBook has been feeling scorching hot, even though I only have work and two windows open. My fans are also not working overtime like some of the replies I have seen.
I have a Macbook Air (2015) and mine is also behaving the same way.
The fan is ON at full speed and it's getting very heated up even while doing nothing.
This happened only after I installed MacOS 11.4 today.
I have the same issue - tried everything - this is 2019 15.6 i9/16gb . all i have is chrome with few tabs, slack and teams - and it heats up like crazy, and slows down. Tried everything - clearing nvram , turning off turbo boost - nothing helps - it is close to a piece of junk that only radiates heat and makes fan noise.
I have the same quastion as above : After instaling new macOS on my MacBook Pro it continuously heats up to
75C while doing nothing. I resterted my mac couple times with no effect,
and i checked if there is no any app running in background. Is anyone
got same problem after that update?
Same issue with MBP13 2020 (A2251). Also GUI is no more smooth, especially when it comes to working with safari
it may be my credit card that will heat up, to replace obsolete programs. It is preferable to install both OS 11 and 10 until all programs are up to date
I’ve installed Big Sur and after a couple of days it is fine. No more overheating. Right back to normal so it seems.
Big Sur is causing my MacBook Pro (13-inch 2016) to overheat.
I’ve restarted several times, but so far no improvement - I just bought my MacBook in August, so it should be able to handle it.
I have this same problem. I also notice that the battery depletes much faster than before the update to Big Sur. Is there a solution?
