Hi, while completely unphased by benchmarking tools, my Macbook Pro 2020 i7 shows a strange behaviour. When playing a not very graphic intense game (KSP) for Mac or Banished in Parallels/Windows the fan gets loud. After a while the games stop, it takes a few seconds before MacOS returns to the log in screen. I have to log in again. after logging in MacOS is trying to restore the previous state: -restarting open applications including the Game or the Virtual Machine CPU temperature is at 60 when idle and at 100 degrees Celsius during the logout event. I opened the Mac and it seems to be clean. i cannot spot any dust. Complete reset of the Mac with no apparent improvement. Any ideas?

Hi, performed the test yesterday. No errors. kind regards

Hi Here’s the area to look at for now

Thanks:-)

@hellomacos Is there a video you can recommend? When I opened the device I did not immediately see any coils Alternatively, is there a benchmark if expected temperatures for certain activities?
