After being completely boggled on the internet trying to understand sleep/hibernation/standby I gave up on that side of things. I still believe that iStat Menus used sufficient resources to make a noticeable difference to the temperatures but other factors seem to be at play.ĭespite switching off iStat, I still had the MBP warm in the morning after supposedly being "sleeping". I have been active on my MBP even if not on the forum. I am not inclined to pay for something that I have to completely hamstring to prevent it doing this. Has anyone else noticed this and if so are there any suggestions as to how it should be used to avoid the issue. Switching it off gave an immediate cooling down of the laptop and changing the global setting from medium to slow update frequency also gave a noticeable temperature decrease. Further investigation clearly showed it was iStat Menus. At first I thought it was High Sierra as I have only just upgraded but it then occurred to me that it could be iStat Menus. I close the lid and expect it to go to sleep. I was very surprised this morning to find that my MBP was warm as if it had been active overnight. It works OK and I was happy with the summary on the menu bar. Looking at reviews iStat Menus seemed quite good. I tried XRG and didn't think too much of it. I looked at Activity monitor which is just too much info. Main reason I am trying it is that I want a replacement for the discontinued widget iStat Pro just so that from time to time I can look at aspects of the machines performance. I have just downloaded and installed iStat Menus as a 14 day trial.
