What kind of Mac do you use?

Also do you use audio or video?
 
Macbook pro 17" Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 .Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 . Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB . Software OS X 10.9.2.
i use audio & video . when i use audio the temp goes up to about 190f to 200f . if i use video the temp will shoot up to 210f to 220f . i tried to use a fan control to turn the fans up but that don't help . (edit) Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB DJ Donny Greer
 
i have the same prob...mac book pro 2.4 ghz 17inch 6 gig ram , os 10.9.2 .... battery drains fan runs constantly ...any suggestions ? thanks
 
similar issues with some mac users in the german forum too....
 
don't get why it would get hot just buy turning vdj on . no music no video and it still gets hot
 
Here at least some technical specs of the used models....
 
I have the same problem whenever I launch vdj the discrete gpu kicks in which causes my mac to become really hot in fact hotter than in previous versions of vdj 7. Macbook pro 15 i7 2.2 radeon hd 6750m 512mb gddr5 8gb.
 
Have you tried running SMC Fan Control?? Never play a gig without it.........
 
i run smc fan control it don't help .thats what i don't understand why is it not helping . when i click off vdj the temp goes back to normal . i guess i will keep using vdj 7 in till all the major bugs get worked out

I run it at 3500rpm when gigging, never leave home without it.
 
i have notice that my fan runs more sense this vdj 8. & also notice every since i downloaded it my mac freezes. i am running on the 10.9.2 here are the rest of my specs. & where do i get that fan control i read on some of the responses here
 
Hi , my macbook pro (a1502) also overheated (while running SMC Fan Control )
I removed the fan control software and now it seems okay
 
It seems to be related with the hardware acceleration and it is not easy to solve it fast.

We aware about this issue and hope to solve it with 8.1

It also seems to take more effect the older a Mac is.
At the moment we only can advise to use a tool to set the fans for high speed at anytime.
 
In the advanced options of V8 is maxSkinFPS set at 30 or a higher value ?
 
not really helpful to the main issue i know, but to avoid any damages by (over)heat, a external cooling pad might do a good job until the prob is solved....

You can try to use a different one, but on my side nothing has changed the result ;-)


BUT we all know Mac's esp. while using video are getting very hot.
So beside this all you should take care about this Mac specific behavior.

It was also present on V7, maybe not so fast after the start, but it was :-)
 
yes ...i remember...Armin´s Mac get killed by that...
