![]() I’ve gotten the fans and temp under control with iStat Menus and Turbo Boost Switcher Pro.Īfter 5-6 hours of testing and research with every combination of monitor, cable, adapter, and connection configuration and display settings configuration that you could think of, I’ve concluded that there isn’t a solution using the hardware and software that I currently own. How do view power draw? I have iStats but don’t see power usage mention anywhere.This is important as some have theorized that the real issue is that certain models of displays draw too much power, leading to the temperature to increase.Would using an eGPU to drive external displays help? If the heat issue is due to the internal Radeon GPU, then I would think offloading to an external GPU would fix it.Would using an USB-C external display with native support help? ie a display the does not require an adapter.with 1+ external displays, all displays ( no just external) were using Radeon GPU. With no external display, built-in was using Intel UHD GPU.Adding a 2nd external display ( Dell P2715Q ) Bumped the temperature up to ~65C, I didn’t record the fan.So plug on in on the left and one the right side of the laptop. Apple recommends putting external displays on separate usb-c busses.The idle temperature with HDMI->USBC connected external display is ~61C 3000rpm.The idle temperature with DP->USBC connected external display is ~60C 3000rpm.The idle temperature with no external display is ~41C Fan 1800rpm.No-name Displayport -> USB-C cable ( straight cable, no adapter in between ).Monoprice Mini Displayport -> USB-C Adapter.The display doesn’t have USB-C, so I cycled Displayport and HDMI using adapters. I did testing with my 16" 2019 Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz i9/radeon 4gb/32gb ram, usingĭell U2718Q display. I can’t hear music, video calls, or anything else over the fans, so it’s a stops my work at that point. It can even remind you of daylight saving changes.Problem: 16" Macbook Pro gets excessively hot when using external display.ĭetails: Macbook Pro temperature exceeds 65C when one or more external displays are connected.
