![]() A MacBook case is actually a decent heatsink - a heatsink that doesn’t end up get somewhere near to the temperature of what it’s attached to isn’t working properly. ![]() iPads and iPhones use their aluminium alloy backs as heatsinks and get quite warm sometimes. Macbooks have used the big lump of aluminium they’re machined out of as a heatsink for many years. I have a feeling the whole laptop body is now part of the heatsink so it's designed to just get hot. It’s also worthwhile checking the design thermal limit of the processor in question, though I suspect it’s higher than you’re seeing. Intel’s power gadget is useful for monitoring temperatures if you’ve not downloaded it. ![]() a polycarbonate PC laptop, especially in the area around the cpu/gpu. MacBooks use the solid aluminium block they’re machined from as a heatsink so the user tends to notice heat more than from e.g. It also has to be said that the i9 MBPs do have a reputation for generally running a bit on the hot side, and Live for whatever reason puts more strain on the cpu generally than does e.g. Before I reduced Live’s frame-rate it was getting hotter than that as the Intel graphics struggled to keep up with the demand. My i7 MBP typically hits around 60-65 degrees, mostly because the audio driver immediately pushes one core into Turbo mode and holds it there, which is still below where the cpu self-throttles. There’s a thread in the “tips and tricks” section of the forum which might help with that, try searching it for “Windowserver”. app file.It’s possibly a side-effect of how Live 10 hits some Mac’s Windowserver system leading to it running the gpu absolutely flat out all the time.
