![]() ![]() ![]() I have now restarted iStat as I wonder whether the temperature issue was the effect of its resource usage on top of the other stuff. So I wonder if some aspect of the behaviour in this area has changed. I must confess that I don't remember what the settings were under El Capitan but I would hope they hadn't been changed but you can't take that for granted. I suspect it is the Power Nap setting that did it. That seems to have changed the temperature issue back to how it was before upgrading to High Sierra (ie it was quite cool when I picked it up after leaving it with the lid closed). Looking at the energy saver set up in system preferences, I finally decided to disable the wifi and Power Nap boxes under Power Adaptor as I tend to leave the MBP connected to the power when I am not using it. After being completely boggled on the internet trying to understand sleep/hibernation/standby I gave up on that side of things.

Switching it off gave an immediate cooling down of the laptop and changing the global setting from medium to slow update frequency also gave a noticeable temperature decrease. Further investigation clearly showed it was iStat Menus. At first I thought it was High Sierra as I have only just upgraded but it then occurred to me that it could be iStat Menus. I close the lid and expect it to go to sleep. I was very surprised this morning to find that my MBP was warm as if it had been active overnight. It works OK and I was happy with the summary on the menu bar. Looking at reviews iStat Menus seemed quite good. I tried XRG and didn't think too much of it. I looked at Activity monitor which is just too much info. Main reason I am trying it is that I want a replacement for the discontinued widget iStat Pro just so that from time to time I can look at aspects of the machines performance. You can then click on the top bar of the widget to move it around and place it where you want it. When you go to Dashboard, click the plus sign at the bottom and a list of widgets will show up at the bottom of the display.
