Hi! I’m back at it with the Mac, and making painfully slow progress. (Yay?) So the fans run full blast at all times, and Kernel Task is eating my CPU for breakfast. Temps Seem normal, as far as I can tell…
I mean, I’m fine with the noise, but the speed of the system is what kills it for me. I reset the NVRAM and SMC. Diagnostics yields this:
Don’t mind the WiFi issue, that’s next on my probably-gonna-be-expensive list. @danj @mayer @oldturkey03 Update: I should probably point out that I had suspected water damage at one point (I doubt it was) and I gave it an isopropyl alcohol bath. only after that it started acting up with the fans. UPDATE HWsensors said I have an exhaust of 128C.
So, How do I deal with this?
Sounds like a problem with the SMC itself. Might want to look into getting the board checked by a non apple tech. Was there any drop or water damage that you know of?
