thekingbuckshot 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Hey guys, Just wondering does anyone who plays DayZ on their macbook noticed the fan gets really loud when playing the game? The game runs smooth and I don't have an issue with performance but Im afraid the laptop is going to overheat. I do have a cooling pad but I'm not sure how effective that is. Please share your experiences. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 25, 2014 Your problem is your Mac. They just aren't designed for gaming. I'm also pretty sure the noise is your harddisk and not a fan. A Mac that small can't possibly have a fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydekk 250 Posted January 25, 2014 I agree with chubby above ( no hard feelings, just the profile pic i'm referring to mate :D) Mac's aren't for games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furtherado 100 Posted January 25, 2014 As a former mac user Don`t use macs for gaming. They sell overpriced with inferior hardware and games usually don`t come with mac support. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highlander007 249 Posted January 25, 2014 Hm not sure how to do that and what temp to watch out for.Nothing above 70 celzius is good. Look for some macbook temp monitor software Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 25, 2014 I hope you didn't buy the Mac for gaming... They're great for school, but not for gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekingbuckshot 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Not for gaming, didn't think I'd really try pc gaming until I tried out day z and now im hooked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mastaking 0 Posted February 9, 2014 I have the late 2013 15 inch retina macbook pro with 2.3 quad core i7 haswell, 16 gig Ram, nvidia gt 750m (2 gig card) and I play skyrim on mostly high and some ultra averaging 60 fps and play dayz standalone on high settings averaging 45-80 fps.The only problem I have is that the w a s d keys get very warm.
