Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg
My fan on my laptop is going super loud when the BTT touchbar is being used. I'm using AQT.
Thanks
Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg

This is usually caused by continuously running Apple or Shell scripts, thus trying to reduce the use of such in your used preset might help.
You can post a process sample taken via Activity Monitor, this might tell where it is spending most CPU time.
I don't know how to understand the Activity Monitor. Can you lead me through what to do please?
The health warning is not to try to kill things like kernel_task.
thanks.
@Andreas_Hegenberg, just to be clear, did u want me to post a pic of it? (
Well, Sam, you might’ve tried to obscure your userid/name.
Seriously, that display shows the CPU is at a perfectly healthy low utilisation. I can’t say if 10% for BetterTouchTool is high or not. It’s not threatening, though.
I would guess the SMC reset route is indicated. But I’ll leave that to others.
haha, thanks very much!
what do I do once ive done that? I tried copy and pasting it into here, but I reached the limit of words...
you can attach it as a file or send it to andreas@folivora.ai
emailed it to you as I couldn't upload it here bc of the file type (.txt)
