Hello folks at iFixit,
as seen in my own machine (and researched in many web-discussions), this Mac Pro 6,1 develops great amounts of heat alone from its "PCIe Diode"-Circuit.
As I know you iFixit-people as honest and sincere in researching and adressing repairability-issues, I want to ask especially all of you "trashcan"-users, if anybody of you has found out a way of physically modifiying this specific semiconductor with a heatsink or any other physical workaround - to push it's temperature, which on summer-days easily exceeds the recommended 70 degrees C (a value, which, by its manufacturer, is rated as highest working value).
Up to today, I personally use the software tool "TG pro" to "auto boost" the internal fan to 35% of it`s maximum of 1900 rpm always, when the PCIe diode temp goes over 70 degree C. (To imply this, go to "Auto Boost Rules", add a new rule by pressing "+", select "35" / "PCIs Switch Diode" / 70 C)
But nevertheless - besides these software solutions - hopefully some of you have found effective ways to physically duck the temperature below this critical value (without ramping up the fan...)?
Your experiences are valued! Thank you very much!
