Does this still occur with the latest version of MacOS?
- falcolas 6y agoI haven't heard of any change; my own setup is on the right. I will say that the corner of my computer where power is plugged in is uncomfortably hot.
- spacedcowboy 6y agoIs it closed ? Because I've had my MBP plugged in for the last 6 months, driving 2 external 4K displays on one side, power-in on the other, and an OWC 10Gigabit dock in the last port. It's cool to touch, but I have the lid open (I use the LCD as the third display). I've read of people saying it gets hot when the lid is closed...
- falcolas 6y agoNope, it's open; I use it as a second monitor as well. It's also on a stand (Roost) that exposes probably 99% of the bottom of the computer to air as well. 2019 Macbook Pro 16". This is while the computer is under load (a Google Meet in Chrome, which is a power hungry little SOB). Also, the power is the only thing in the hot corner.
- kalleboo 6y agoIf it's always plugged in, then you're not charging the battery and there is less heat generated. I only have issues when it's charging the battery (maybe the battery controller is over there?)
- ben-schaaf 6y agoFrom my understanding it's a motherboard layout/cooling issue. Not going to fix that with software.
- floatboth 6y agoDefinitely possible to limit the wattage received on that side in firmware.
