I work more on the production side, which is often more taxing than mixing. I bought this Macbook Pro used in 2014, it was made in 2012 and it came with the SSD installed by the first owner. The angled pad I'm not sure the manufacturer, but you can just find one that has a single big fan in the middle, rather than 2 small fans. The bigger fan will displace more air and be quieter. SMC Fan Control is an App I downloaded from the Mac App Store I believe.
#Good novabench score for free
I think I purchased it, but used it for free for a while. I just set the top and bottom temperature thresholds. For example, on mine the top temp threshold is 100 degrees. So at that temperature, fans will be at their max.
I actually had an 8-core mid 2006 Mac Pro with 12 Gigs of ram before this laptop. I then bought a 2011 iMac 3.4 Ghz with 16 gigs. The iMac is still slightly faster than my Macbook Pro. I use the Novabench App (also from the Mac Store) to test the speeds of my systems. Both have internal SSDs for the main drive. The 2011 iMac scores around 1340, while the Macbook Pro 1270. Very pleased with the performance of both. #1 enemy is always going to be heat, both for longevity and for performance. 30-40 on average and I can do much more than that. I find the processing plugins aren't as system intensive as say a virtual instrument such as Omnisphere or Diva.
