3 years ago It could be that vendor (Asus) undervolts cpu or tweaks performance of CPU in any other way, so it doesn’t throttle too much under heavy loads… Also, I think you did notice the fans being quieter due to not spinning at speeds they spin in Windows. Also, windows has a better support for system ACPI, so… needless to say, the fans and such work better. Again, the cause of that is thermal throttling of your CPU. Just look at Intel Power Gadget for a moment, while running, for example, a Geekbench test. You will notice a drop of frequency after a short period of time (~5-10 seconds of Turbo-boost for me, lol) and that’s terrible.
TL;DR – we need to fix somehow CPU throttling, as the cooling system can’t keep up in Mac OS, for example, by undervolting (generally preferrable solution, as I do recall downvolting cpu in linux, which did use the fans in the same way as Mac OS) – either we need to make a custom cpu-friend patch with our own values at TPD/voltage/something else; Or we can fix DSDTs and add fan detection and managing to SMC and hope for the cooling system to be able to deal with the heat, but as far as I can tell, hieplpvip didn’t manage to do that after several tries.
