The same plugins in other DAWs donīt cause this explosion of fan noise (and no other programs for that matter). So it looks like it is the GPU causing the heat (the macbook switches form internal to discrete graphics when plugging in an external monitor) but I canīt see why Reaper should be causing this. Is this a known issue with macbooks? Is there some way around this? Itīs really too bad, it is practically a deal breaker for me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi ARRGRR!
Did you find a solution to your problem? I am on macbook pro retina mid 2015 and the fan is noisy when Reaper is 15% cpu.. :/ Thanks for your help!
