Improving Longevity with Better Cooling
Running a modern OS on a legacy Mac Pro increases CPU and GPU load. Thermal maintenance is key to preventing hardware failure.
Effective Mods:
- Repasting: Replacing 10-year-old thermal paste with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut can drop temps by 10-15°C.
- Intake Holes: For some enclosed models, adding small intake holes or removing dust filters significantly improves airflow.
- Fan Control: Use Macs Fan Control to set a more aggressive fan curve, keeping the components below 80°C during heavy tasks.
Original Question: "Big Mac Update!!"
 | Fixed it lol repaste and intake holes worked in lowering temps [link] [comments] |
