If a MacBook Pro runs hot or shows high kernel CPU, try charging it on the right

Same issue here moving from a 2016 13" to the new 16". It's silly that we can't just use the integrated intel GPU with an external monitor if we desire.

Ugh, thanks. I was eying larger MBP as my 2017 13" runs almost always with both cores used, and is loud - was hoping a six core would be quiet under same load :/.

Now that I think about it, lately it's been fine. Fans don't come on when powering an external 4k monitor under normal use anymore.

However, I'm not sure whether that's due to a recent software update or the fact I recently switched the cable I use from HDMI to DisplayPort.
