Why do macs overheat and throttle so much?

because its shit

>>62196505
/Thread

Because they can actually do things requiring power and thus produce heat by the internals.

Why would linux computers overheat? Too much command line? lmfao???

Since when are apple products high end? Every other hobo has an apple phone on a plan. Unemployed proletarians have them. You literally can't not afford them.

Since over a decade ago.

>Apple products are 'status symbols'
>Anyone can get an Apple product

Which one is it /g/uys?

because homosexuals ruined tech

>>62196694
Then you should only use computers predating Alan Turing.

>>62196688
Apple products are povertyfag status symbols that anyone can afford.

>>62196699
ok

>>62196688
Same deal with TVs, anyone can get them, and they're status symbols to the poor, because they think they make them more prestigious (they don't, because they're cheaply made low quality chinese crap anyone can get). One of the reasons for being poor is that you make low quality judgements, some of which include buying apple products when superior products are available.

It's a combination of minimal heatsink surface area, heat pipe arrangement, air flow and the firmware of the machine. In a machine like a MacBook Pro, where space is at a premium and Apple constantly wants to make their machines thinner, the heatsink fin stack is normally the first component to be cut down in size. Older MacBook Pros had an extremely small fin stack relative to the size of the heatsink and the components they were cooling. (Pic related.)

Instead of having dedicated heat pipes for the CPU and GPU, Apple often distributes the heat across a single pipe or pipe arrangement (two pipes, both cooling the same chips). As a result you have a lot of heat production concentrated in a small area.

Until recently the air intake and exhaust ports were directly next to each other. Hot air exhausted from the vent at the back of the computer, directly into the display clutch cover (hinges) - which in itself was a flow restriction - and the computer would then draw air from this now hot area into the machine for cooling. Essentially Apple took an exhaust vent and placed an obstruction directly in front of it thinking it wouldn’t impact cooling efficiency. (This was somewhat fixed on the MacBook Pro Retina.)

And don’t start with the whole “the keyboard is an air intake” bullshit - it isn’t. The keyboard has a solid plastic sheet underneath for the keyboard backlight, so there’s no chance in hell any air could be drawn in via the keyboard itself. It’s a myth that refuses to die within the various Mac communities.

Finally, Apple tunes the machines from the factory with a fan profile that is next to useless. Instead of having a gradual fan curve that increases steadily as temperatures increase, the cooling fans remain at idle until the computer reaches somewhere in excess of 70 degrees C, only reaching maximum RPM once the computer has reached between 85-90C. All because of noise reduction.

They're probably scared to have their laptops make any noise. EVGA has pretty good hardware in their laptops without overheating.

That photo of him sitting in front of a MacBook with his tiny finger raised in the air was obviously staged.

Trump doesn't use computers, let alone understand them. His only encounter with any modern electronic device is his Twitter shitposting smartphone.

Steve Jobs hated noise and thought that pcs should be silent.

As a result ALL macs throttle and heat up until it is absolutely necessary to use the fan.

Shitty design decisions and also, shitty architecture decisions at Intel.

>>62196501
The only modern macs that throttle are the 2011 15", 2012 retina, and 2015 15"
the rest either dont throttle, or if they do throttle it's not by very much.
It's mostly because AMD, or muh thin when the tech wasn't there yet.

Have this many people never fucked around with a MacBook? Let alone any other laptops to make comparisons with? Is such basic engineering knowledge really so uncommon?
t. just an average hardware monkey

>>62204262
Has any company actually done thermal engineering right on the laptop profile yet?

Seem like nobody wants to make a system that emphasizes stable temps instead of form factor or raw performance.

Thinking back on my plethora of laptops, the only ones that never really screamed like a jet were either

a) very low power machines (ex: older Chromebook), or
b) didn't get used enough to get to banshee-wailing (ex: Latitude D800)

And I suppose Windows tablets don't count.

I have two dell 1525's here and one has a nice sounding fan even when spinning at 3800rpm, whilst the other sounds like a jet.

They both sounded that way even when new.

They made a device where the case is the heatsink. Get it hot and guess where the heat goes? That's right, your balls.
