[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1782934, member: 110816"] What matters the most is once the temps get higher, the fans should kick in to bring that down. My 15" 2017 MBP normally operates around 48-50C at "idle". As I begin to do things with the machine, the temps go up but the fans also kick in at a higher rate. The area above the touchbar is where the vents are, it is SUPPOSED to be hot in that area and you should ensure that that area is clear to allow proper egress of hot air. Having monitors plugged in should make the GPUs heat up, not as much on the CPUs. How are you tracking the temps? [/QUOTE]
