MacBook Pro Retina 13" fan very loud/overheats when playing full screen video/games

Hi,
Just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina, refurbished (because why not - the same product for a cheaper price) around a month ago. It's the 13 inch and is the model before the most recent one came out (4GB of RAM instead of 8GB - late 2013). From the very first day, playing a full-screen video on any site (be it YouTube, Facebook, etc) just makes the fan much louder than usual (so loud that you can almost hear it more over the video itself). Thought it may have been just a thing with Flash Player being buggy, but the problem has persisted for a while now. I'm not even pushing the CPU to any limits - literally playing a full-screen video on Facebook (not even in HD) makes the fan go crazy.
Just last night I tried installing Borderlands 2 and it was the same thing - FPS rate was fine, no lag, just the fan was so loud that I actually got scared for my computer and turned it off. After closing the app and checking out the fan temperature, it was at 91c.
Never happens when browsing/surfing or doing my usual work.
Should I go give it back to Apple? The thing is I start university in less than a week (and hence will be traveling), so not sure if I can afford to give my laptop in to them for a long period of time (I know it should be free though since mine is a refurb item). May it just be an issue that is quickly repairable or is this worse?

  During processor intensive activities—such as processing HD video or playing a game that makes extensive use of the graphics processor—the    fans speed up to provide additional airflow.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 13" Gets Very Hot

    Hi, I noticed my Macbook Pro Retina 13" gets very hot after 30 minutes of usage, practically "burning" on my thigh (it left burning mark a few times actually, especially in the summer). I usually put a book between the laptop and me to prevent the heat. Is there a better way?

    What are you doing on your MacBook when it gets hot? I have a retina and it gets hot when I play games like Team Fortress 2 or Garry's Mod, watching videos on youtube, and using the iTunes visualizer. What's odd is it doesn't get hot when I watch movies on iTunes. If it's getting hot just sitting around, you may have a problem that needs to be check out as soon as possible. I had a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro that had three logic boards replaced in less than a year of purchase. Every time the board was failing, it would freeze sometime after it was put to sleep and it would get really hot and the fan would be screaming trying to keep up. Then it would freeze as I'm using it. The screen would flash pixels of all colors in random spots all around the screen. If Apple didn't cover the repairs, I would have paid $530 per repair.

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow

    I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.

    If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
    Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
    Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Does anybody have problems with the Macbook Pro Retina 15' fans being really loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris?

    Hey guys,
    So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
    What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
    Thanks!

    Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
    It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
    Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
    Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
    Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
    So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
    Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
    Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
    Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
    If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
    SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15 Fan Full Constant?

    Hello all,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina which is just over 1 year old. I dont have apple care so its just out of warrently.
    Its the Mid-2012 version.
    Last week, i was editing video in Premier CC, and the fan never came on. I edited for about 2 hours and the Macbook became very hot, but the fan was never audiable..
    The next day (and ever since), when i boot the macbook up from cold, the instant the OS loads and the login window appears, the fans are audiable and running fastly.
    I have tried doing SMC reset aswell as pram resets, but these have had no effect.
    The macbook is fully functional, tho its really anoying when i take the macbook into a studio and the fans are realy loud...
    I have tried to book a genious bar appointment, but straight out, the site says 'no available appointments'. If you turn up at store, you get turned away.
    I installed iStat to find out the fan speeds and they are stuck at around 2k rpm.
    Is their anything i can do to try resolve this issue?

    Thanks for the reply Kappy, as you can see on the screen shot, theirs no runaway precesses going on. I think its definatley a firmware/software issue. Are their an other resets i can do? Also, is it normal to have soo many processes/threads? - Im coming from a more 'windows' background where 63 process happen with nothing running...
    I would take it to the Mac store to have it looked at but aparently the UK macstores arnt offering bookings anymore OR they are not notifying the public of a time to go online to book appointments...

  • Macbook Pro retina 13" fan not spinning

    Hi, I have had my macbook pro retina 13" (late 2013 model) since november, it had a fan problem after a month, where it made a horrible whirring noise and according to istat just wasnt spinning. This was independent of tempeartures for example 0rpm at 25 degrees and still 0rpm at 55 degrees, obviously it began to heat up rapidly after even just mld usage.
    Took it back to apple and they cleaned the fan and the problem cleared up, however a few months later it has started again, surely this can't just be dirt build up seeing as the fan has been cleaned already and the computer is only 4/5 months old.
    I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, if they solved it, or just whether I should take it back to apple.
    Many Thanks

    There are no bits you can flip to straighten this out.
    Take it back to Apple, remind them they already cleaned it and suggest maybe they should replace it this time.
    Apple is unique in the way they run their repairs. They are not trying to squeeze every penny out of you the way the car dealers are. They mostly want you to be a happy customer.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15" Getting Very Hot

    My macbook pro retina display 15 inch intel i7, 512gb flash hard drive 16 gb computer is getting hot. When playing a simple flash game like pocket planes (not in fullscreen), and without the battery plugged in, the computer gets to 64 degrees celsius, and the area near the battery plug location gets extremely hot to the touch. While playing youtube videos and such, the computer also gets hot, but generally reaches around 48 degrees, and it will not cool further. Is this normal? I just bought it 3 days ago and the salesperson told me that it would not get as hot as the 13 inch late 2012 macbook pro. Any ideas? Because it is very similar as heat, even though the older model was hotter.

    I have the similar issue on my MBP 15" 2012. The top left corner area gets very hot after watch video for a little while.
    I think it's the video card that is overheated. My current solution is to use a laptop cooler underneath my MBP. It does help reduce the lock ups in daily uses.
    Does any one know how to fix it?

  • Macbook pro retina 15" fan gaming question

    Hi everybody,
    I plain to buy a macbook pro retina 15" but i would like to get feedbacks from users who also plays with it.
    Anyone here got this laptop and world of warcraft, diablo 3 or starcraft 2 under osx ?
    Is the fan or the heat going crazy after some minutes of gaming like other pc gaming laptop ?
    And under bootcamp with windows 7 or windows 8, is it noisy when playing ?
    Thanks in advance for your feedbacks, i'm ready to buy it this week, but i would like to get those answers before buying.

    Hi ds store,
    I don't think the MacBook Pro I'm talking about has mountain lion, because they were released only a few days ago and come with mavericks installed from the factory

  • Macbook Pro Retina Noisy Fans When using adobe premere cs6

    i bought new macbook pro retina 15'' 2013 newest one , but i heard a fan noise for few minute when adobe premere cs6 run . Is that normal ?
    how can i solve this problem...

    It probably is.  CPU/GPU intensive applications will place stress on same and cause heat.  You MBP fans are dissipating that heat.
    You might install iStat pro (download from the Internet) and compare that with the Activity Monitor display to the the correlation of application usage and temperatures/fan speeds.
    Ciao.

    One trick:  When you remove the bottom case take note of which screws go in which holes.  They differ in length.

  • Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013 gets warm when charging !

    My relatively new MacBook Pro Retina 13" late 2013 gets really warm when charging only and the power block gets kind of hot too !
    shout I be worried or that's a normal thing ?

    It wasn't that hot before I updated to the mac osx marvicks.
    Has to do with software compatiability and the OS.
    I would check with sketchbook pro / corel painter 12  for a update. Sometimes version upgrades lag behind before a more compatible release.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 13" makes a scraping sound when waking up.

    MacBook Pro Retina 13" 2,6 Ghz 128 Flash storage started to make a short, mechanical, scraping sound when waking up from sleep. The noise seems to come from the right hand corner next to the trackpad. Did this anybody deal with something like that?

    There are no moving parts in your Mac, take it to an Apple Store and ask them.

  • 2012 Macbook Pro Retina Cooling Fan Question?

    Ok I was running Skype, Traktor Scratch Pro, Chrome, iTunes, and Photoshop and I opened Garageband and my Macbook Pro's fan started running really loud, to the point where I could hear it over the speakers. I have nothing to complain about because this Mac does these thing 24/7 very, very well. If I tried to do all that on my former Microsoft PC, it would've bluescreened. I was just wondering why it did that because it only does it very rarely and I was wondering if it is normal.

    Were you monitoring the temperatures? If you closed out programs and the fans slowed back down, then that sounds like normal operation. The fans run faster to prevent the processors from overheating.
    Alternatively, it's possible that one of the programs you had running is malfunctioning and causing excessive processor usage.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 13" fan hiss on start up?

    Hi there community. My 13" Retina MBP makes a slight "hiss" noise whenever I turn the machine on or I resume it from sleep. In a quiet environment it is noticable, and I know it comes from the fan starting up. When the machine is up and running though, the only noise I hear from the fan is a regular low-profile noise (about 1000rpm), which is completly normal. Any answers?

    I hear a very FAINT noise in my 15" rMBP, when I first got mine thet other day the FAN came on really loud and that's the last time i ever heard the FAN.  But this new 2013 rMBP is a 1000 times more quiet than my 2008 MBP.  Sometimes I wonder if it's even RUNNING it's so quiet.  Apple really did a nice job putting the SSD drive in and although I hate to admit it leaving out the Optical drive made this machine lighter and the quietest machine ever built.
