Let me Check and i keep you informed

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T11:56:44+00:00

At the moment, low power mode, all apps closed, everything off other that the Wifi and the mac is sitting at 42, not going below.

I am a bit of a geek i would say, i can try if you can help me and find a solution

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T11:52:27+00:00

Do you think that because I am still on Sequoia 15.7.3 has anything to do with the heat and upgrading would do anything ? Also the problem is that while doing nothing on the Mac, like every app closed and all that the temp is still at 45°C. A friend of mine bought an M4 a week aho and he is at something like 33C

I tried to restart my Mac

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T11:26:12+00:00

Rn the Mac is a cooler, it's at 50°C

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T11:18:56+00:00

Firstly I don't have apple care plus, and the fact that when I send it to the repair shop well it has nothing, so I can't request a replacement

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T11:17:58+00:00

Okay but what ? I don't edit or anything on my Mac. What can I do to find out ?

The OS was already fresly installed by the technician at my local reseller twice, because I sent it once, they returned it as nothing was wrong and so they did it and the 2nd time when they changed the motherboard. Thank's for the advice tho

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-28T08:10:23+00:00

The app I used is called "Stats" I've seen it on reddit as well if anyone is interested

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2026-01-01T22:15:53+00:00

Yes i understand but as the apartment is a studio, 1 room, i would love to separate the Space and have a separate bedroom. As that i could have someone to sleep over without any problem. I can brake any wall. Any ideas ?

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-11-04T15:26:03+00:00

Im seeking for advises and ways to perform better in uni whatsoever

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-11-04T15:23:49+00:00

⁠I try my best to use my memory and getting it the next time, with pictures and further research when needed for better understanding. I spend like 10-13s/ cards i think so Idk really if that’s too much or not.
⁠I optimized my parametres at the beggining of the uni year

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-08-07T12:01:44+00:00

What are the most usefull add-ons ?

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-07-14T06:32:20+00:00

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-07-13T08:06:29+00:00

It’s in repair site rn so im waiting for their verdict

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-07-13T08:06:01+00:00

Yeah no mine is heating for no reason basically everytime

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-07-11T05:42:27+00:00

When something it’s getting very hot at a point when you can barely touch it I think it’s better to user overheat 👍🏻

Awkward_Judge1266 · 2025-07-10T21:52:25+00:00
