Q: Macbook Pro is getting pretty hot

Hi there I have a mid 2012 Macbook pro running Mavericks with 8GB of Ram. I don't understand why but my temperatue has kinda increased by like 10 degrees for no reason. At idle the thing used to sit at 32 degrees and now sits at about 41 to 43 degrees. When I used to play CIv 5 and skyrim temperatue would rise to 70 to 75 degrees but now Civ 5 rises to about 82 and Skyrim to like 89 degrees. I nearly want to downgrade or wipe the whole thing and start again. The Temperature really annoys me because I'm a student and it's not like I can just buy a new one when this one melt. Any help you can offer would be really appreciated. Thank You

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 8GB ram

A:
  1. Uninstall the "smcFanControl" product.
  2. Reset the SMC according to these instructions.

 

Before Resetting the SMC

 

Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.

 

  1. Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
  2. Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
  3. Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
  4. Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.

Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
  3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
  4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
  5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    I also have 160GB memory left so I may need more I don't know.

    Your MBP is not going to melt. It will shut down on its own long before any hardware damage will occur.

     

    If you are using and all-enveloping cases or "skins", don't. The MBP's enclosure serves to dissipate heat and any material around it or attached to it will impede its effectiveness.

     

    To determine what may be taxing its resources study the Energy paragraph in the following:

     

    OS X Mavericks: About Activity Monitor

     

    Make sure its fans are operating normally. Run Apple Hardware Test.

     

    Connect its power adapter first to prevent a spurious error from appearing:

     

    Mac notebooks: Apple Hardware Test may report SNS alert when power adapter is not connected

     

    Mac notebooks: Apple Hardware Test may report "HDD" alert

    My CPU usage is at 95% is that ok?

    Open the Terminal app - it is in your Mac's Utilities folder and looks like this

    Screen Shot 2013-02-15 at 2.14.19 PM.png

     

    Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), select Edit > Copy, and then Paste it into the Terminal window:

    pmset -g sysload

     

    Drag your cursor from the point at which you pasted that command all the way to the end, and copy the text. Paste it in a reply.


    There is nothing wrong with 100% CPU usage, or more than 100% CPU usage for multi-core CPUs. That's what a CPU is for, but it's an indication of a process or processes that are very resource-intensive, explaining its relatively high temperature.

     

    What are the names of those processes?

    1. Uninstall the "smcFanControl" product.
    2. Reset the SMC according to these instructions.

     

    Before Resetting the SMC

     

    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.

     

    1. Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    2. Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    3. Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    4. Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.

    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own

    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
    4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    NellyPelly the best thing to do to help cool your macbook down it if it is even possible on a 2012 macbook pro is to unscrew the screws on the underside and then cleaning the accumulated dust there on the heatsinks and fans with a can of compressed air. though be aware it might void your warranty if you still have one. i have a mid 2010 macbook pro and regualrly do this as a macbook is like a normal pc laptop, eventually the heat will reach dangerously high levels and the only option is to find out how to give it an actual clean. just make sure you look for a youtube video for how to do this with your macbook pro as they tend to get built differently each year. some macbooks it is a relatively easy process and others they are designed to not allow you to open it up and give it a good spray from a can of compressed air.

    from my experience with my mid-2010 macbook pro it solves all my overheating issues every few months. oh and the screws aren't replaceable so be very very careful if you decide to open up the base plate of your macbook pro as they are non standard screws that are irreplacable.

    Please read my earlier replies. If you want to pursue your own solution, that's fine.

     

    The LED may or may not flicker on all Mac models.
