In the summer I have to unplug one of my external monitors because my (maxed out) 2014 Macbook Pro gets too hot.

I'm going to try using my linux desktop when it happens next, that at least has adequate cooling.

Same here. 2014 maxed out, doesn't do well in the spanish summer. External screen mostly stays disconnected, otherwise it throttles down after 30 mins.. Are there not some kind of cooling pads to help with this shit?

I've had to do the same this summer in the UK. It's the first time we've had weather hot enough to trigger a problem, but it has been CRAWLING. :(

Same problem, I resorted to just have a fan blow on it to help with getting the heat away...
