SC2 - MacBook Pro 16 - Overheating

Hey guys, how are you ? I’ve got myself an brand new MacBook Pro 16" AMD Radeon 5500M 4Gb GPU and was surprised by the fans getting hit very hard by just opening the game menu. Settings are in recommended mostly on High. I have already switched off the energy settings saving that switch between gpus.

Did you guys experience the same issue ?? is this normal ?

This is not a problem with SC2, but rather a design flaw with your Macbook. Google “macbook i9 overheating” and there are a ton of results with people having the same overheating problems with the i9 Macbooks.

I suggest checking for and installing all available MacOS updates for your system. If that doesn’t help, try blowing out your fan vents to remove any accumulated dust. If you still continue to experience overheating issues, you’ll need to get in touch with Apple for further assistance.
