![]() The whole system became choppy and it began stuttering. I exceeded that by having a few videos running at the same time, fired up 3 virtual machines, and had it compile some code. If I start running a YouTube clip, or do anything remotely CPU or graphics intensive, the fans max out at 5900 RPM (which is the max the machine will do). ![]() I tried with the three monitors and the fans go up to 4800 RPM. I was afraid of damaging my computer so I turned the fans back to auto-mode. If I force it via a fan control program to run at 2500 RPM, the GPU heats up. With two 27" Thunderbolt Displays, regardless of what I do, the fans hover around 2800-3200 RPM. But here is the catch: with no external displays, the system fans hover around 2600 RPM. I tried adding a third 1920x1200 Dell monitor via the HDMI port, and it actually does work. I have a "Mid-2012" Retina Display MacBook Pro with two 27" Thunderbolt Displays daisy chained in clamshell mode. ![]() However, in more detailed evaluation, a helpful reader reported: Two displays daisy-chained over Thunderbolt, leaving a third to run from HDMI has been achieved, but at a cost… Overheat would appear to be your main hurdle.
