ultimate99 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I have the macbook pro 13" early 2015, i5 2.7ghz, 256gb ssd, 16 ram. This thing stutters and heats up when I watch a youtube video. I tried several browsers, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and finally Opera. When the video stops, bam, 45C.I don't know what's up with that....anyway to diagnose? thanks!

jasondefaoite Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 sounds normal for a mac. They tend to run hot as Apple runs the fans at a lower rpm to keep the noise down. The CPUs are rated to 105oC so I wouldn't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I pause, everything goes back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 My iMac is hot as of now... but plays video smoothly. If you put a bacon on the top of iMac... it will be cooked like a stove. I have Windows installed in VM and video freeze then plays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the stuttering without other intensive apps opened? Happens with 720p and 1080p videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Doesn't sound right. I have a MBPr 13" Late 2013 (i5/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD), videos play smooth and temps remain at a constant 40c. What are you using to measure temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+virtorio MVC Posted December 15, 2015 MVC Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have a 15" MacBook Pro Retina. I'm currently watching a YouTube video in the background (Chrome) while working in a Windows VM and it's 57 degrees. Check Activity Monitor and see if there is anything else heating your machine up. I find Mail on El Capitan can, at times, use huge amounts of CPU and memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
