MacBook Getting hot: Any resolution?
1361892
Something is causing your processor to run when it shouldn't, perhaps. I had the same issue, and found that I had an unfinished print job running in the background that was causing my processor to run hot. I found that this is an issue particularly with Canon MP printers running with a Mac. I simply went into the print jobs and deleted the unfinished job - and all went back to normal. If that doesn't work, download a little utility called "activity monitor". This will put a little icon in your top menu bar that will show exactly what is causing your processor to get so hot ... this utility will also tell you if it's something other than your processor. Hope that helps.

it gets hot a little bit but is normal because is on 24/7. and the power supply is just one cord .doesn't have the square thing in the middle. like the power supply of macbook and other devices.

One guess is that your hard drive is overheating. Try installing Speedfan and monitoring your Hard drive temp. A temp over 55C is too hot, and this hard drive runs REALLY hot on my computer!!! I've been watching mine and it's running 49~54C on a regular basis, which is quite hot.

I did to a new Mac Mini. I just let the Mac choose the highest compatible resolution though.

Yes. I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15. It gets real warm, but not hot like it did before I started using the ThemaPak.

good question ray. all 30" monitors run hot. Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell all are hot. i have window fans to bring in cool air outside because i have six 30" monitors

I haven't heard the fan yet and it hasn't really gotten that hot yet either. I know what you mean though. My 2009 macbook was the same as yours.

I have an Apple Laptop and have not had any heat issues while using this LapDesk.

No, it will not firmly hold the MacBook Air hinge up. Personally, I have not noticed any overheating as the MacBook Air inherently runs cool. Also the fan shuts off as soon as the computer is shut. My computer runs as well as it has since day one.

This is 1600mhz stock(default setting), you can lower it in the bios to 1333 or 1066mhz. This is plug n play it will set itself to 1600mhz unless your computer automatically downgrades it 1333mhz. Usually that happens for compatibility, but you can up it in the bios. I don't know much about macs concerning hardware compatibility, but I assume it should be ok (it's a computer in the end). Check "toms hardware" site they can be more informative.

I have a 13.3 inch Mac and it works fine with it. I am not sure how much heat a 15.6 inch laptop generates, but if you think about it, you don't have much to lose. It is quite cheap and it works just fine. The only drawback is that you have to place the laptop on a table or flat surface; the fans are not protected from below.

You have three options as I ran into the same problem with my MacBook Air. 1) Hold down the option button when clicking the "scaled" radio button within the display preferences. This may reveal the resolution option. 2) Install ScreenResX and set a custom resolution. While this worked for me, it was a pain and I don't recommend it. http://www.madrau.com/ 3) Buy a mini display port to display port cable. When I bought this for $10 on amazon, plugging it in simply worked right out of the gate. No tricks necessary. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7RJQPY/

Hello from Ecomade Arena,That is good question.Due to OS X restriction, Macbook with HDMI max resolution rate is 1920*1080 only.However, windows with HDMI max resolution rate is 2560*1440 (HDMI 1.4 supported graphic card only)so, Macbook user should be connect monitor via DP (Thunderbolt) port only.ASIN : B00HLCNNUO is 27QW DP model. It has DP port.Thank you

I think so...I have a 17 in old MacBook Pro. Your computer would hang over a little on each side. It cools it only so much and my old macbook would get hot anyway. I bought mine I think over a year ago so I am guessing there may be better ones out there too.

Not HOT, maybe a little warm when it's been plugged in for a while. Sometimes the heat from your computer can transfer over or if it's working too hard it can generate heat. If it's getting really hot then I would see about getting a replacement.

I'm using it with the Macbook Pro 13 mid-2009, both with the DVI-to-MiniDP or VGA-to-MiniDP adapters. Occasionally it gets detected as a 1024x768 (likely because I have it attached to two different computers) but usually it works like a breeze at 1920x1080.
