MacBook Pro heating

Temp is fine.

Fans don't appear to be fine. If minimum rpm is 1200, and yours is 0....

Run Apple Hardware Diagnostics and see if it catches anything: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731

Either way, I think I would bring the Mac to an Apple Store “genius” bar for a free diagnosis: https://support.apple.com/contact

Hi,

The new MBPs seem to run a little hotter than older ones.

Heat is subjective. Use a temperature monitoring app and fan monitoring app to see what temps really are, and if your fans are running to cool things down like they're supposed to:

Fan monitoring app:

smcFanControl (use this only if you can control the urge to control the fan speed; Mac OS X/macOS is designed to do this properly without outside interference): google for smcfancontrol or others.

Fan and Temperature monitoring app:

or google for more

I installed an app called Fanny which monitors CPU temperature, this should help you determine if your MacBook is running too warm. My 2017 15' MBP ranges in temperature from between 30 to 32 degrees in similar situations but the internals of our two MacBooks are quite different.

I downloaded fanny app as you suggested, and it's showing a temp of 35-40 c

Current rpm: 0 rpm

target: 0 rpm

Min : 1200 rpm

Max 7200 rpm

what does that mean ?

It means that your Mac is not hot.

I'm wondering if they set "idle" to 0 now? I don't have a 2017, and I've always had 15" MBPs, and those have always idled at 2000rpm. Maybe someone with a 2017 13" can stop by and confirm the 0rpm. Meanwhile, if you're concerned, use your 90 days of phone support and ask Apple directly. You may also want to start a new thread with the subject something about a 2017 13" fan rpm to see what others are experiencing.

Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. It's in warranty. You also have 90 days of free telephone support.

If you can hear the fans running, then it does sound like the app has issues; maybe it's not updated for the 2017 models yet. You could try a different app.

smcFanControl

I'm not clear. Did you set a specific RPM and the Mac won't run the fans at that rpm?
