Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 to Support Windows 10

Wat? You must have one of those entry-level models with 4gb of ram. My 2012 mbpr never starts fans unless the gpu is taxed.

Early 2015, 16 GB RAM.

I had a late-2015, 16GB of RAM mbp, and it also would spin up pretty high and get noisy, especially when using Google Chrome. It would also have some kernel thread crash during suspend, causing it to come on in my bag and get extremely hot.

A complete reinstallation of the OS via a USB installer seemed to mostly solve the issues somewhat, seemingly making the crashes mostly stop and the heat/fan profile more "normal" (just stumbled upon this). I guess I suspect ACPI weirdness...

Friend has similar behavior on his older MBP. Turns out all the vents between the keyboard and the display (directly adjacent to the hinge) were filled with dust.

I really suspect theirs are caked with dust, because Macs will sooner downclock their CPUs massively rather than spin the fans up during normal use.

Something is very wrong with it.

Maybe Firefox and all those auto-playing videos.
