MacBook Pro 13’ 2019 get's really hot even after maintenance

Hello everyone!

I own a macbook pro 13’ 2019. This is a good laptop, but for the last six months it has become very hot. At first I thought it was an old thermal paste and dust inside, but after cleaning and replacing the thermal paste, nothing has changed. Then I reset it to factory settings and re-configured it, all the same. Now I have removed the back cover, all the components are cold. But as soon as I turned on the screen, the processor became so hot that I almost burned myself.Please tell me how y

i can solve this problem?

Thank you all in advance :)

Having the same problem for last year or two. It suddenly started doing this. I took it to the apple multiple time they said we don’t see any overheating problems with your mac. So disappointing!!!


Everything is up to date on software! Fans run perfectly fine it just that cpu gets very hot like in few seconds. It jumps from 40c to 90-98c!


And I know its not the battery side because where the cpu exactly is I feel hot.


Anyways, Im going to try putting egg on it see if it cooks 😂


Did so many troubleshoots. Im sure that it’s not any application that causing this. Cuz I will be running Apple Messages app and same thing happens!



What’s wrong Apple? How come you cannot solve this things? Sometime I feel like, hope it doesn’t make the battery explode on me! :/

The Apple Diagnostics @John Galt suggests running are usually pretty good at identifying issues with the Mac's cooling system, so if no issues are reported with the cooling system, then I would suspect a software issue. Software issues are much more likely to cause a computer to run hot.


To look for possible software issues, run EtreCheck and post the report here so we can examine it for clues.


The Apple USB-C Intel laptops do run very hot so that is not unusual in itself. Even just launching an app will cause the CPU temperature to spike to 60C or even 80C. It is not unusual for these Intel Macs to be running at 60C - 90C for most tasks. Under very heavy loads the laptop may run close to 100C with the fan(s) running at high speed. This is all "normal" since the CPU will become throttled if the laptop's cooling system is unable to keep the CPU temps below about 100C.


If the fan(s) are running at higher speeds, then you definitely do not want to touch the heatsink as it can easily burn you. After all 100C (212F) is the boiling point of water. Even 60C (140F) can cause a burn and the USB-C Apple laptops tend to run at 60C most of the time except when idling.


If we don't see any clues in the EtreCheck report, then you can try testing a clean install of macOS (no third party apps and no restore from a backup). If a clean install still has the laptop running too hot, then it likely indicates some sort of hardware issue with the Logic Board. Make sure to also disconnect all external devices in case one of them is causing a problem.

Etrecheck:

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by senior contributor here, and uses system calls to collect often-needed information.


it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.


if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the system ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.
