I don't know much about thermal throttling, but based on my initial research it seems like temperatures like these would hinder my CPU performance at best, and potentially risk my hardware at worst.
Intel's website lists the Maximum Case Temperature for my Processor as 72C as well. Furthermore, I was watching my temperatures as my 2013 iMac rendered an After Effects project, and while the Ambient temperature stayed in the 30C range, the CPU cores were in the 90s. I'd assumed the range represented a specifically researched range for optimum performance, but now I have no idea what those temperature ranges are. But then I noticed that the temperature ranges displayed in these options are not always consistent. And, if it is only useful on a case by case basis, how beneficial is it in terms of performance in scenarios like video rendering or gaming?Īt first I thought universally setting sensor based values to Ambient (or the nearest relevant hardware when multiple fans are available) would inherently be better than leaving it set to auto, as I read that after OSX Yosemite Apple decided to prioritize quieter fans over consistently cooler hardware. However, I got to wondering whether it has beneficial application on any Mac, regardless of use scenario, or if its use is case specific.
Macs fan control reddit pro#
I use Macs Fan Control on a 4,1 Mac Pro we have at my work, and I've installed it on the MacBook Pros of a few friends who've all complained that their laptops got too hot.
