Macs usually prefer keeping it to lower temperatures such as 85✬ under sustained load. ![]() The CPU and GPU can withstand temperatures as high as 100✬, but that's the limit. High battery temperatures or high VRM temperatures can also make the computer throttle. This usually means the CPU and GPU because they are the most power-hungry parts, but is not limited to them. Thermal throttling is caused by aggregate component temperatures above the computer's thermal budget. Apple has previously fixed thermal throttling for some MacBook Pros in a software update. ![]() Updates include bug, performance, reliability and security fixes and improvements. It's very important to keep your Mac's Operating System (OS) up-to-date. Workarounds might improve your situation, but are unlikely to actually fix it. Here are common things you can do to troubleshoot your issue. Based on my experience with Macs and your model's benchmarks, I think normal values for it on SATP would be 2.4~3.2GHz under sustained load (CPU-only workloads, discrete GPU disabled), or 2.0~2.4GHz under sustained load for workloads that heavily use GPU in addition of the CPU. The expected behavior on well designed computers (such as the 16" MacBook Pro) is to, at most, stay close to the base clock when under sustained load (CPU-only). Intel/AMD/x86 notebooks often throttle to some degree, but extreme throttling is usually a sign of a deeper issue. Throttling down to the lowest clock possible under Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure (SATP) is not normal. Intel clock speedsġGHz (and sometimes 800MHz) is the absolute lowest clock speed the CPU in Macs like yours can go. In my opinion, I'd rather not risk it, specially for replacing parts. So unless they screw up, I think it won't void your warranty. They are also authorized to clean the Mac's internal components, and will often do that for all repairs requiring opening the computer.Īny repairs done outside Apple Authorized Repair shops could void your warranty if done incorrectly, but there isn't anything inside your Mac designed to tell Apple it's been repaired by someone else. I think some repairs would actually require Apple Authorized Repair shops to reapply thermal paste, so I guess they are allowed to do it. The easiest thing to do is bring it to Apple so they can fix it. This and many other sustained load benchmarks demonstrate that your issue is not normal. Does the repaste/cleaning at a non-Apple authorized service spoil the warranty?ĪppleInsider tested the 2019 Core i9 2.4GHz MacBook Pro 16" and found that it could maintain 3.19GHz under sustained load. Do Apple authorized services allowed to perform repaste and cleaning? I could not figure it out from official websites. I already bought a Cooler Master A200 laptop cooler and it's helped a bit, but it still doesn't feel right.ĭoes this MacBooks has THAT bad thermal problem, or should I take mine for a cleaning? I also read that a repaste would help a lot. I heard that this series of MacBook Pros with Core i9 has thermal issues but this seems ridiculous. ![]() When this happens the mac feels very slow and janky and even the most basic things can take uncomfortably long. I installed Intel Power Gadget for investigating and turns out, just after a few minutes of heavier workload (clean install a bit larger maven project) get so hot the system limits the maximum core clock speed to 1GHz. My problem is that that it overheats very quickly and drop the performance of the CPU to the ground. A few months ago I got a 16-inch MacBook Pro (A2141) with 32GB ram and Core i9 (I9-9980HK) 2.4 GHz processor.
