Why are the fans in my Mac running at full blast?
- chmaynard 8y agoI've noticed that the fans in my MacBook Pro kick in when I'm using Homebrew to compile a large software project, such as gcc, from source code. Can someone explain why this type of workload causes the CPU to overheat? Two theories of mine: (1) multiple threads are working all four cores very hard, and (2) the CPU isn't waiting around as much for main memory to respond.
