I have an older MacBook Air from 2013 that is exhibiting a heck of a lot of fan activity these days. I upgraded to a MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip and I’m very happy with it but I’m trying to put some use to the old air. Last night I reinstalled the operating system after doing some first aid through disc utility And there’s still fan activity as far as I can tell. I reinstalled Catalina. I did not do a full erase and clean install, only a reinstall of the OS. I’m wondering, any ideas why all this fan activity is it aging Hardware? Or is it some kind of Software problem, or even just data problems from years built up without ever erasing and reformatting. I’ll be glad to hear any ideas as to how I can bring this thing back to a reasonably good state of operation and if that means full of erasure and reinstall then I’d be willing to do that. Frankly I don’t see why this thing should be choking on itself the way it is. Thanks for any advice. Sent from my IPhone
