Also flash youtube videos run with less resourcesĪgain, I'd like to see some data being this claim. This of courses comes at a sacrifice to noise (increasing it) and I'd like to see data on how much cooler the chips operate with such a small increase to RPM.ĭitch all browsers to Safari, I tried them all Firefox up to version 5Īnd 7 (Aurora), Chrome and Opera.
Regular cleanings are essential!ĭownload and install Fan Control and run your fans 2800-3000 RPM Computers generally accumulate far more dust than people expect. Dust sticks to the blades (and most of the internals) creating a "sticky" residue and not only prevents the fan's blades from spinning at their optimum, but seriously restricts air flow. This is by far the most effective way to ensure your system continues to operate nominally over the years. it's simple, open theīottom closure and blow the hell out of these fansĪbsolutely.
Proper scientific methodology calls for the manipulation of one variable against a control (unless you want to run the more complex ANOVA).Ĭlean your MacBook Pro fans from within.
Moreover, if you enacted all those changes at once, you'll never know which one made a real difference, and which one did absolutely nothing. Please don't take this a slight against you, but rather as a criticism of your general claims (and lack of scientific data therein). With that said, some practices you list are of critical importance others, I'm not sold on one bit. I tend to remain sceptical of anyone making claims without valid and reliable data.
Keep your monitor running 90% brightness or less.Replace your internal hard drive with an SSD.Use your faster GPU on AC Power, and lower on Battery power (use gfxCardStatus for source-based GPU switching).Also flash youtube videos run with less resources on Safari for some reason.
nothing beats the CPU usage (less of it) than Safari.
