80C when I watch a youtube video, really?


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

yeah, but the video stutters badly and I cpu usage is at 100%. Once I pause, everything goes back to normal.

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... 

ok, it gets hot. What about the stuttering without other intensive apps opened? Happens with 720p and 1080p videos.

Video isn't playing very well on Windows in VM.

 

But video plays smoothly on iMac... 

 

FYI, I have Windows installed on iMac 

 

So you know what I was saying.

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? 

 

 

iStat Menus. I can also hear the fans.

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.

- Go to about:plugins disable plugins always loaded and /  or enable Click to Play in Opera.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
