Mac Overheats When Playing Games
Late 2013 Macbook 15' Retina Overheating and Shutting Down When Playing Games. I was playing Counter Strike GO in Bootcamp and the fans seemed to be running at a maximum in terms of both sound and speed. Oct 25, 2017 Assuming you’ve done/checked all of those options and your Mac is still struggling, it’s time to look at an alternative solution. Your Mac could be too full of things that are slowing it down. How to keep a Mac from overheating. To begin with, you need to define overheating.

Mac Overheating While Playing Games On Pc
- First of all, make sure that your fan vents are not blocked when you play. For example, don't play in bed where your comforter can block the vents. A cooling pad will also help keep your Mac cool. Since I do not own a laptop, I cannot recommend one, but you can find one on most computer websites or on Amazon.Second Star to the Right and Straight on 'til Morning.
- @Tremayne4260 I always play with my computer on top of a pillow, so there is nothing like a comforter that could block them, but I'll look into the cooling pads

What??? The heat dissipates through the bottom of your Mac and through the vent below the screen, as Tremayne has explained. You're killing your Mac, have you never noticed how hot it gets? At least put it on a flat surface if you don't have a cooling pad or something to elevate it.0 - I agree with what others have said about a flat surface. If you have an oversized book, you can use that at least temporarily. Also, you can quit all other programs when playing. I used to keep other windows open and surf the web while Sims 4 was loading. When my MacBook started making the fan sound you mention (perhaps because I got more packs), I stopped using other programs while playing.

@jamiehood The pillow is the same as gaming or using your laptop on a comforter . You need a hard surface
I see you posted this back at the end of January but this may help others if you no longer need help. Cooler master and thermaltake make some good laptop coolers. There maybe other laptop coolers specific for Mac though I have never checked. I would look at laptop coolers with good reviews on Amazon or computer store webs - I've gotten a cooling fan, and it's actually worked quite well. I don't use a pillow anymore, and I quite like it. So I'm pretty much good for now! If the issue comes up again, I will reach out through this thread.
