I completely erased every related file (including preference files) to BinaB then redownloaded everything and did a clean install of BinaB. Same issue with loud fan spinning. Am I the only one with this problem? It will briefly ramp down then start going full tilt again - until I quit BinaB, then the fan goes quiet within a minute.

I mean, I'm used to hearing the fan spin loudly when processing a piece of video, but this is really frustrating.

Please excuse me if i misunderstood your question .



Ok, you really need to ignore that advice. Crapware fan controllers force you to control the fans manually. In this case, it’s very likely that your machine is overheating. If so, the above solution can fry your Mac. Let’s not do that.

You have a hardware or software problem. It’s not BIAB and isn’t Mojave ... but it’s something. My guess, some old piece of code is is mucking up the works causing your MBP to overheat. This isn’t that uncommon.

Now I am an experienced Mac tech so I know where/how to look but there’s no reason you have to be.

Fortunately, you have access to free Apple tech support when you upgrade to a supported OS. You can arrange a call through the support page. A tech will log into your machine and observe what’s really happening. Console.app or the Activity Monitor will likely reveal the culprit that, once purged from your system, restores normal operation.

There’s the possibility that a hardware problem exists such as a bad sensor or a malfunction in the CPU or a motherboard on the fritz—or even excess dust somewhere—but since it only happens with BIAB 2017 and Mojave, that is unlikely. Still, you do want to know, right?

BTW, the last time I ran into this, it was a 2005 HP printer driver that was brought back to life by High Sierra when Digital Performer 9.51 was being run–totally screwed things up. You never know...
