[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1877757, member: 110816"] During Zoom calls and playing back videos, if you watch Activity Monitor, you'll see that the CPU usage will up up there in the 70 to 80% range. And assuming you really have a Core2Duo in the Mac Pro (which I'm not sure is accurate), that's a dual-core CPU that will get hot with these CPU/GPU intensive tasks and the fans have to come on to handle it. My 6-core Mac Mini uses about 20% of the overall CPU usage during video calls and the fans do kick in as needed. I also do development on here and when I'm building something, the CPU temps rise from the mid 40's/low 50's to upper 80's and the fans kick in there as well. So this is all normal behavior. More RAM isn't going to help. [/QUOTE]
