ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I have new core i7 15 inch, MacBook Pro with 16gb Ram.
The computer gets very hot when it starts ZBrush and gets hotter and hotter when it continues. Please advise me how to adjust the program setting to run ZBrush in Mac

Most people notice this as a matter of fan noise, not realizing that the fans are getting loud because they’re working to keep up with the heat output from the CPU.

Since the last reply, I was attempting to work with Multi threading off.

  1. It still causes significant heating (top end of the keyboard too hot to touch)

  2. I had to do manual disabling of the performance setting every time as ZBrush does not stored the configuration permanently.

  3. Does this overheating affect the computer lifespan?

Please help
