I have a Macbook Pro early-2015 Retina 13" Model running Windows 10 Pro. I've noticed it often gets hot and have tried quite a few things to get it to cool down.
Suggestions I'm not open to:
Sell and buy a different computer.
Reduce your workload (sorry but web development IDEs and such put heavy load on my system and are needed for my college courses).
Things I've tried:
Running the fans at max: Sadly, even with the fans maxed the CPU cannot cope with the temperature under maximum load on the CPU. So running the fans faster is not a solution.
Due to Apple's weird "Design" choices traditional cooling pads and these new "fan vacuums" I've heard about do not help any.
I successfully undervolted the CPU, Cache, and GPU by -50.8mV. I also disabled turbo-boost. This reduced the temperature significantly where it's no longer uncomfortable to use the system for a long period of time due to heatups. With the help of the fans, under normal load, the computer now averages between 45 degrees C and 65 degrees C. So the problem is starting to get resolved. So this is better but can it be great. I'm definitely a fan of undervolting now.
I plan to buy thermal paste or liquid metal in hopes of further reducing the temperature. Being a 2015 computer it's quite possible that the factory paste has dried up and is no longer useful.
Starting the discussion:
With these common suggestions out of the way - lets start the discussion of more exotic and extreme ways of cooling the system. It kinda breaks the whole mac look and feel but I'm open to pretty much anything at this point to get the issue resolved.
Take apart the Macbook and put it inside a custom case with water cooling setup in a way where it won't harm the components due to water damage.
Take apart the Macbook and put it inside a custom case (larger) with proper heatsinks, etc.
Custom case that puts the components inside mineral oil? Like I said I'm desperate and will try anything.
Any other suggestions the community has?
I'm looking forward to all the crazy ideas the community can come up with. Thanks in advance
