Overheating on Monterey

Open CoNsTaRs opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

After upgrading to Monterey from Big Sur, the surface temperature has consistently been incredibly high, fans constantly spinning at maximum speed, even after I have the cool or quiet option setup in BIOS and had CPU bursting turned off. It is basically unusable for anything, and I now have to do my works on Linux instead. Is anyone having the same issue? Any idea about this?

Thanks for the quick reply, an update would definitely be appreciated. In my case, it is certainly overheating tho. I suspect it's one of the SSDs that's causing the issue, since most of the heat seemed to be coming out from where the SSD sits. I have Sabrent rocket 512G and Intel 760p 512G installed, if this information helped.

Thank you.

Better would be Samsung evo 😬

I just changed SSD and turned out it wasn't SSD overheating. As you can see in the attached screenshot, both fans are running at 6000 rpm which is insane while the CPU temp can still go up as high as 70C (fluctuates between 50C and 70C), and that's when the system is completely idle. The temperature will go up even higher when its uptime is longer, too. Screen Shot 2021-11-01 at 2 52 25 PM

Update: I've downgraded to Big Sur, and tho the latest EFI is probably not for Big Sur, I tried to boot with it and not too surprising the heating problem still persists. I've later swapped the EFI folder with the one for Big Sur and the problem was then solved.

@CoNsTaRs I've uploaded my EFI at this link if you want to try. I have not had any issues with overheating at all. I am curious which program you used to get those temperatures on your last comment?

HW Monitor is a old package to monitor temps, you can find it with google, I use istat which I like, also to control fans , I had update my repo, best regards

Hi @zspherez @thefiredragon,

I finally got time to upgrade to Monterey again and to test this out. It seems to me the latest commit fixed the issue! Btw, thanks for letting me know about istat, I'm using it now.

Best
