Macbook Pro Temp widget reading

[Moshiiii]

Greetings! :D

I got a widget to see just how hot my Macbook Pro is (Feels hot to the touch). My temp widget reading is saying 109* F for my Smart Disk. What is my Smart disk and isnt this reading insanley high?:confused:

isnt this reading insanley high?:confused:


Nope, pretty low actually. That's 42 degrees celcius, which is actually average for components. Not sure about hard drives, but processors are usually fine up until about 70 celcius (158 Fahrenheit)

Oic, So Smart disk is my HD?

my iMac was at 123 F the other night... i wouldnt worry about it...

[igucl]

My iMac's CPU is at 150, and the hard drive is 120. :cool:

I just googled Temp widget.

[MacSyn]

Installed the widget but it says "No accessible sensor found". Is my MBP something wrong?:confused:

I can beat that - my CPU just got up to 81 C. Which in old money is 178 F.

w00t!:eek: :eek: :eek:

It's safe to run all night at these temps?

mine is the same way, i've tried god knows how many temperature monitor applications and widgets, none of them can find sensors on my macbook. anyone know what's up with that? :confused:

Edit: I did some research on the apple discussion boards, apparently none of the applications or widgets can read the sensors on the macbook pro yet. The only possibility is if you have a Seagate drive, the sensor on the drive is readable. Other than that there aren't any sensors that can be read yet, so if you don't have a Seagate drive you won't get any readings.

You aren't running anything very heavy there, that seems very hot.

Over 80 C is usually the point where your supposed to worry. If it gets any hotter, I'd call Apple. (Though don't worry too much because your system will not let it get too hot)

I got a temp widget working on my MBP.

that widget is also on the Apple dashboard widget download page thing.

[iamhammill]

My CPU is at 48º C, HD is 46º C, and GPU is 52º C. That's with the external monitor.

[kkapoor]

My MBP only shows the temp of the HD. But that figures I guess, since it is being returned tomorrow. I got a logic board error from the extended hardware test and the machine gets damn hot even under battery.

[dollystereo]

My Macbook doesnt show any sensor!

Thanks for clearing this for me. My MBP has a Toshiba drive. I thought I've received a defective MBP.

Yeah, my CPU is pretty steady at 160 F now that I started folding, but 178? What are you doing?

I love your wallpaper...

My MBP, running on battery and only running safari and iChat is running 32C, or 89F. I must have the seagate drive, because it reads my "smardisk", which is presumably the HDD. Can't wait till an app can read the processor...

[friedymeister69]

I have a new iMac 17" core duo 1.83ghz and I have yet to find a monitoring program that can read the processor temperature. Does anyone know of one that will work? None of the software in this thread seems to monitor my cpu temperature.

[realityisterror]

A SMART hard drive is capable of monitoring itself to alert you of failure (hopefully) before it happens. I think 95% if not all hard drives these days have this feature. (more (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring%2C_Analysis_and_Reporting_Technology))

My PowerBook G4 runs at around 120°F most of the time, and the power supply is actually hotter than the processor most of the time :eek:

Here it is if ya want it...

I think that part of the problem was that when the screenshot was taken Word was requiring my attention. It was asking me what kind of document I wanted to open.

It seems that when an application requires your attention (or at least Word), and if you don't immediately attend to it, then the CPU temperature really skyrockets.

I don't know if this a common thing, or an issue particular to my machine.

I must admit that recently my machine's fans has been whirring more loudly and erratically than usual. Not sure if that's relevant. Other than that, no other issues.

55C - 60C is the maximum operating temp for most Hard Drives. Above that and you could be shortening the Hard Drives life. That and keeping the CPU temp below 80C are the main things to look out for.
