- Using a macbook in unconventional conditions
Many of us have noticed that if we work with a MacBook in bed or on the go, the computer starts to make noise and heats up much faster. This is due to the fact that the case itself is a passive radiator that plays an important role in cooling the device. Therefore, a very simple and important tip is to use the device on a solid surface, be it a table or a simple stand.
- Resource-intensive applications and software
The programs that you install on your computer play a big role in loading the processor. Based on what you should know, installing applications from unknown sources can lead to heavy processor loading. All applications that consume more than 70% of CPU power load your processor to the maximum, which is why your MacBook quickly heats up to high temperatures. You can check what applications are loading your processor using the standard System Monitoring utility.
