Mac Fan Too Loud

[FR4N]

[FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAY ON MACS]
Soo I've been playing CS on my Macbook Air 2015 for 4+ months. I run everything on the lowest setting and I never have problems with lag/frames. However I do notice that SOMETIMES the fan (top left of the keyboard) gets too loud. I'm used to it getting sort of warm/hot, but its usually a 50/50 when it comes to loudness, sometimes the fan is completely silent while in-game, and sometimes it's roaring. I don't run any other applications while playing (except of course Steam), and I was just wondering if there is a way to get rid of the loudness, because from past experience I know its possible for it to run CSGO while not being too noisy. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks!

This has everything to do with how hot your macbook gets. The fan is there to provide cooling. If it is nice and cool the fan doesn't need to be running as much, if it detects the tempature is rising, it will try and increase the speed of the fan and if this is ineffective it will continue to try this until the fan reaches the maximum output. This is the nature of laptops.

You therefore have 3 options:

1: Stop worrying about it because it's just a fan.

2: Check your vents to make sure they are clear and free of dust or anything else that might clog them.

3: Look into additional cooling options. You can buy USB devices that plug in to your laptop, and you set the laptop on the device and the device blows air at the bottom of the laptop in an attempt to help cool it further. I also know a guy who takes ice packs and sets his laptop on top of them, but I think that's silly and excessive.

When CS tells you it can run on mac it was not talking about macbook air. Even if you meet specs does not mean that it is ideal. Expect fan.

I have 2015 macbook pro and am constantly searching for games that do not heat becasue it is annoying. One by one I am trying them and mostly every one get so hot it almost melts, and fan roaring...Even games that you would not think would produce heat ...do. It is a gamble....

These thing were not made for gaming.
