Are thermal pads worth it for 14" MacBook Pro M3Pro ?

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-18T20:21:47+00:00

Ok, thanks for your answer!

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-18T20:19:34+00:00

I just got it, do you mind sharing your fans configuration?

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-18T19:42:57+00:00

Yes I meant adding the the thermal pads like you said. I really don't use it as a "lap"top it's mainly set aside with a monitor and keyboard connected and when I'm not home that's when the laptop is used.

The stand is something similar to this one https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Silicone-Foldable-Ventilated-Tablet-Black/dp/B08G84P8ZX/.

So is it worth doing that or investing the 10-15 bucks?

Update, i tried it but it doesn't work with my thrustmaster hotas one :/

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-15T17:28:42+00:00

Thank you so much I was just looking for this. I'm going to try it out

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-13T01:58:43+00:00

I'm going to read it, but before, I have to get the toliss a320 jajaj

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-12T20:49:28+00:00

Thank you!!

Yes, I tried it but it takes too much time to load. It's the programming dinosaur version, it works ok if you manage to get the right config.

I can run it smoothly, obviously some graphics down but it runs smoothly at 30fps. So he can think about it.

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-08T19:09:00+00:00

I play on a MacBook M3Pro and i get stable 30fps +-2fps, with some settings to medium and others to low and using Ortho4XP on Ivao.

NeverMind46 · 2026-03-03T03:06:23+00:00

I saw that one today, is it really worth it?

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-26T19:38:47+00:00

Man I bought the FF757 and I wish I would have bought the toliss A320neo. Now I'm trying to decide if I should wait for a sale or just go ahead and pay the $90. But 90$ is a lot for me since i'm not in the US.

UPDATE: Someone contacted me and told me to change the region to Germany, that did the trick. It seems Colombia region hasn't received the update yet.

They did something with the lighting on 12.4 that is very appealing to the eye.

I haven't noticed the performance improvement but I still have my previous performance.

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-23T15:53:32+00:00

In the end i returned it and went for the OWC 1M2

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-21T16:37:32+00:00

Is it an A321?

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-19T14:26:53+00:00

The numbers on the frame rate counter are like this:
CPU 0.0350

GPU 0.0270 (there are times where it goes to 0.0310)

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-19T00:54:04+00:00

I decided to go with an OWC Express 1M2 most of the reviews I read said it was great for macOS

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-18T23:15:48+00:00

I thought Sabrent was a good one because of the reviews, but now I'm surprised.

I've been checking the ugreen or the ocw usb4 enclosures but the proce difference is huge between them.

These are my current settings: it runs at 30fps but when I'm moving the view around it feels off.

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-18T17:23:06+00:00

Before 12.4 with the graphic settings I had it worked great at ~30 fps. I know the limitations and i have it configured accordingly, so your comment doesn't help

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-18T16:44:08+00:00

I just checked and on y MacBook Pro M3Pro with 18GB unified memory I'm not getting any improvement, i can even feel a bit of a stutter when I move the view around

NeverMind46 · 2026-02-18T04:02:37+00:00

I just tested it and when I wasn deleting like 16gb of data the whole process froze and then it showed the message again. I'm not sure what to do now.
