Summer is here, and with temperatures above 30 or even 35°C almost every day, we have to think about our Mac. The hotter the environment, the harder it is to expel heat from the Mac’s processors, graphics chips, SSDS and hard drives.

While Apple has designed all of its devices to run at ambient temperatures up to 35 degrees, they automatically reduce the power consumption of the processor when it overheats inside, and too high a temperature can damage the battery. So here’s how to keep your Mac from overheating in the summer. Here are some ways to avoid MAC overheating

First, avoid direct sunlight

You should not leave your iPad, iPhone or Macbook in a vehicle parked in the sun or expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. In addition, some processes place a particularly heavy load on the device because they are computationally intensive and they also heat the device. For the iPhone and iPad, this includes GPS tracking and navigation and games with complex graphics. Therefore, it is recommended to temporarily abandon these features when the weather is very hot.

Two, prohibit large software under high temperature

Macbook owners also shouldn’t use graphics-intensive games for extended periods of time at high ambient temperatures, especially with a Macbook with a separate graphics processor, which is particularly compatible with games and powerful, but also generates more heat. Integrated graphics processor Intel chips in other macBooks. Programs for editing video and music, such as Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, are particularly computationally demanding. Therefore, longer calculations are best deferred to cooler times or locations.

Three, do not block the ventilation trough

All current macBooks have a metal case that ensures heat dissipation in addition to the fan. Therefore, placing the device on soft surfaces (such as pillows and blankets) when you are comfortable on the sofa can backfire because they do not transfer heat, and you may accidentally cover the ventilation slot. Some vendors have documentation to operate sofas, such as Belkin Cushdeck, or you can use regular trays.

Use a Macbook stand

When operating a Macbook from a desk, the laptop stand offers better ventilation and a more ergonomic screen height. Desktop Macs are less affected by high ambient temperatures because the room rarely gets too hot to have cooling problems, and computers are usually set up to emit waste heat freely into the environment. Macs that run at full load for several hours (such as rendering) should be set up in a cool room.

Five, remove dust

All Mac models have very little ventilation and usually have an inlet through which cold air is sucked in and blown out again through an outlet. Unfortunately, there is no integrated filter or similar protection mechanism, so larger dust particles may get into the computer. In some cases it may cause the computer to no longer dissipate heat. It is usually necessary to dust this area.

Because of love, so go further! I hope you cherish your Mac!
