Though when I really want to avoid the fans I just disable the processor’s turbo boost. In my case that means the frequency never goes above 2.4GHz. For sustained workloads it doesn’t matter much since after boosting it’ll just throttle itself back to 2.4GHz or lower anyway.

- asdff 5y agoWhen I used to game on my 2012 macbook pro, I would rest the laptop on top of ice packs and change them every so often as they warmed. The case on aluminum macs acts as a heatsink so this was surprisingly effective. I was able to get my winter FPS during the heat of the summer this way.
