MacBook owners – fire up your updater
This post was published 3 years 7 months 3 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.I held off from posting about the latest SMC update for MacBook owners. The reason being that I wanted to get a real world comparison of the before and after effects of installing the firmware update.
I can personally attest to the overall performance difference. After running the MacBook with the update since its release, processor temperature has dropped significantly from the mid 70C – 80C average to 40C – 50C range. A great improvement for MacBook owners complaining that their notebooks were running a little too hot. No more complaints of MacBook’s cooking eggs right?
Run your software updater Apple Menu > Software Updates to grab the latest firmware.
“The SMC Firmware Update adjusts fan behavior in the MacBook.”
I have a feeling that people are going to complain that their MacBook is too noisy, or moos now.
Quite the contrary I hope. From what I’ve heard, people who were previously complaining of moo’ing no longer suffer from the issue.
Mine is *significantly* cooler…no more towels/newspapers between the Macbook Pro and my legs.
