MacBook Pro: Late 2011 15"
High Sierra 10.13.6
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: 87.0.0.0.0
SMC Version (system): 1.69f4
Few years back, installed SSD from OWC where stock drive was:
- moved the stock drive to the data doubler where optical use to be...
I think my upgrade to 16GB was within the last year? Not sure, will have to check my records on that.
Recently been running on with 27" HD monitor.
Problem: Fan spins up almost everytime immediately after boot up.
Will start some troubleshooting here, but thought I would see if anyone else had problems with fans not his model. Some of the things I will try:
(1) Try operating MBP without monitor
(2) Boot up from a different USER (maybe guest)
