MacBook Air 2017 Overheats with Browser like Safari and Edge

Block Image

Macbook overheats to 95* C while using basic safari and youtube. I have installed Macs fan control to control the temperature. The page also shows “Webpage using significant energy”. I ran etrecheck and this is what i found “There have been numerous cases of apps with heavy CPU usage.” Even though i only use safari and edge browser for basic stuff like browsing mails and youtube.

The battery is even experiencing problems though it only has cycle count of 880. The cycle count has increased significantly over the last year , but the macbook is mostly connected to the adapter throughout the day and the battery is almost fully charged all the time.

I'm suspecting your battery is at the end of its life 880 cycles is too close to the end.

It even runs hot without the charger. Is this due to battery also?

Thank You Dan.. Could you suggest me the alternative website to buy the battery cause ifixit isn't available in my country.

How about aliexpress?

@Ojaswi Jaiswal - You'll need to look for a local importer of batteries as they can't be shipped via air. Aliexpress may not work either if you are not within the same continent
