Although the new Mac Pro is a computer with a minimum of 6400 euros, it can overheat. Yes friends, with all power comes great responsibility. The power of this new computer is so brutal that we are sure to get the most out of it. In these situations, its temperature can exceed normal terms. That is why it is always good to know how to take care of it.
Through an interview, the engineers Chris ligtenberg and John Ternus, tell us how to avoid these extremes and that the computer, due to this excessive heat, can lose power.
Yes, the Mac pro can also overheat
Chris Ligtenberg, senior director of design at Apple, has stated how they have created the Mac Pro and what measures they have taken to prevent it from overheating. For it they built a completely professional fan system. Three axial fans in the front and one in the back. Internally designed so that they do not generate too much noise. In the words of John Ternus (Vice President of Hardware Engineering at Apple and responsible for Pro and Pro Display development): «We want to get a really great performance where either you can't hear it, or you can hear it, it's a nice noise. "
In addition to the powerful and well-placed fans, The Mac Pro case is designed so that the air flows constantly and helps it to cool down and, more importantly, not to get too hot. The drawing of the holes gives a lot of surface area, which is very beneficial. The same pattern has been used on the Pro Display XR screen that can be used both horizontally and vertically.
This new design provides 20% more airflow than the previous version. In fact this pattern has already been copied and surely we begin to see new computers also with this bad shape compared to a cheese grater.
