MBP 16" i9 (Late 2019) Possibly Overheating I just got a 2019 MBP 16&quot; Model with 2.3 GHz i9 (turbo to 4.8GHz). When running simulations in MATLAB I have noticed the fans to spin quite loudly, and the CPU temp is rising very high. I have seen the temp peak 100C when plugged in, and around a max of 95C on battery power.
My question is whether this is typical behavior for this computer/CPU or whether I am at risk of damaging my components.
(Note: I am using this completely out of the box - have made no modifications, overclocking etc.. The temperatures I am seeing are just higher than I have seen previously for CPUs and I was shocked to be honest)
The CPU is specified to function up to 100 degrees C. So a temperature of for example 95C is fully within its operational specification. There's no risk of damaging the CPU.
I.e. unless you experience some problem related to the temperature, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
