I don't understand. Those who say that the mac doesn't need to be shut down don't heat up?

From win to mac, macmini m4 has been using high intensity for half a year, but the problem of sleep fever has not been solved. The standby temperature can reach more than 60 degrees. I connected macmini to a Xiaomi socket, and the sleep power consumption is higher than normal use. Can you stand this? At the beginning, I also searched the Internet for solutions. What software to watch power consumption should not be used, what settings prevent automatic sleep, what activity monitor checks which program consumes power, etc. Basically, I have used all kinds of methods. Usually, I just turn on the Mijia plug to see how much power it consumes. There is no accident. It is completely metaphysical. It depends purely on your mood. There is no pattern. The power consumption will be low and high. And the most important thing is the problem of memory leakage. The windowsever doesn't shut down for a few days, which directly occupies several g memory. I have seen no less than ten posts on windowsever in the station, but there is no solution. Don't ask, ask is restart. Since you have nothing to do, it's better to shut down when you don't use it. Apple users are really adaptable. Speaking of which, I have to complain about homepod by the way. Let's talk about macmini. Since last week, I turn it off every time I use it. I give up the bad habit of looking at power consumption when I have nothing to do. The body is cold, and it is easy and stress-free to touch when I turn it on. How to use it comfortably. If there is any means to solve the problems of heating and memory leakage, I would still like to leave it unshuttered. The key point is that these two problems are very common. I have seen on the Internet that not only macmini, but also mac studio and MacBook are available. I can only say that there are many unsatisfactory places in macos.

    https://i.imgur.com/14sDwvN.png The mac mini m4 has been on standby for half a year, and it has not exceeded this level. Have you lost some service or been hacked?

    Under normal circumstances, I don't think this will be the case. I feel that it may be a problem with a certain software. You can close it one by one and check it out, especially those cracked software.

    @ Poster # 6 I bought an m3 air, which is usually covered directly and does not generate heat. Is it because of the mini mechanism? My home is too nuc, and the similar temperature is 50 degrees all year round

    In fact, in addition to the fever mentioned by the poster, the windowserver and such as apple music and notification center mentioned by the poster, I really think it is easy to leak memory. If I feel that the computer is slightly hot, 80% of the possibility is that it is the application/process mentioned above. The memory is leaked and the memory usage is relatively high. I have to kill it manually

    It's okay when you open the lid and use it, but there is a problem when you close the lid. Maybe there is some software preventing the mac from sleeping

    You obviously have a software installed by yourself doing things and keeping waking up to run tasks And if the windowServer leaks, just go to the activity monitor and restart the process for him. There is no need to restart, and it seems that I haven't encountered it in recent versions

    MBP basically doesn't shut down very often, but it may get stuck after being turned on for a long time. It basically shuts down once a month

    The power consumption is high and does not consume my home appliances. The heat is high and I don't need to touch it. Why do I have to turn it off? When the lid is closed, I go home from work

    I feel that mbp has a similar problem. I have to restart it every time I drive it for more than 200 days. It's fine to restart the inexplicable card

    There is something wrong with the machine you bought, or you keep running programs in the background, and the macmini does not sleep.

    I have been working on a Mac for four or five years, and I have to restart it at least once a week, otherwise it will get stuck. If I expect a lot of tasks in these two days, I will restart it in advance

    My mbp will heat up when plugged in, which is really a problem. Now I unplug the power when it is fully charged, and it is completely normal not to charge

    I encountered a fever once, but a service of VSCode kept running. I didn't understand why a newly downloaded VSCode was used as an editor. Without plug-ins and imported projects, the cpu was full. Just kill the process, other times I didn't shut it down.

    I win also doesn't turn off
  • Anonymous4285 May 23, 2025
    https://i.imgur.com/acGw0gW. png is generally 45-49 degrees Celsius and does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Unless my M4 Mac mini turns on a VM or something, it will soar 80 degrees Celsius.

    The problem that mac doesn't need to be shut down should be treated as evidence. How to treat it specifically is that when there is no problem, it really doesn't need to be shut down, and when there is a problem, it needs to be shut down. Maybe you will say that windows tmd isn't the same, but sorry windows doesn't apply this logic
  • Anonymous11209 May 23, 2025
    Whether it will heat up depends on your own system settings. If you allow some high-consumption software to run in the background all the time, it will still heat up

    There is no problem related to mac, but I have encountered problems related to win. All, those who habitually use mac class are not closed, and those who use win class are closed
