Macbook Pro 2015 heat problem - Update 2
In addition to the previous post, i found out that disabling Intel turbo boost from the CPU does decrease by a lot the fan noise.
My CPU runs at 2.9GHz but with Turbo boost enabled it runs until 3.3GHz. It increase performance but also temperature and fan noise. Currently i don’t need that extra boost so disabled doesn’t hurt.
Disable like this
echo "1" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
Update 2.1
Another improvement. Wayland by default sets the resolution to the maximum that the macbook a.k.a. slackbook is capable.
- 2560x1600 @ 60Hz
More resolution, more processing, more heated CPU.
I did adjust resolution to another 16:10 but with less pixels
- 1920x1200 @ 60Hz
After this change, noisy fan are rare.
