I have two identical top-specced MBP16", bought them as soon as they were released. They BOTH do that with my LG 5K Ultrafine display, whether they're closed or open, without doing anything particularly heavy. Sent them both to Apple, they passed all checks with flying colours. And that's the end of more than a decade of giving Apple tons of money. I built a Ryzen desktop this year and, despite missing macOS terribly, I couldn't be happier with the speed and ergonomics.
edit: I've tried both sides of the laptop, I have iStat Menus and keep an eye on temps, etc.
edit2: they "only" spin to 3.5k-4k at idle, but go up as soon as I do anything with Chrome or am on a video call, which is most of my job
- sroussey 6y agoMake sure the resolution is set to “native” for the external monitor.
- smnscu 6y agoThey're all set to native, I don't do scaling. I've since got a free top case replacement from Apple (keyboard was slightly busted because I spilled soda on it lol) and, after a PRAM reset, it's not going crazy at idle, only when being in WebRTC calls (which is 90% of my job).
