Post Your Apple Laptop Temp Here

[imacintel]

I was just over at my apple store. Not to buy anything, but to check out MacBOOKPRO. The whine. The heat. The result: There was 15 and 17 inch on display to play around with. On the 15 inch the two problems didn't seem to be there. There was no whine on it, and it was cool to touch. I checked both underneath and up by the F keys. Now the hot one was the PowerBook 12 inch. Un-freakin-believable. I regret lifting it and touching it. Ouch fingers. Also, the iBook 12inch was very warm, while the 14 inch on display was cool. So result:

MacBookPro: Cool enough-no whine
17 inch- bit warm, no biggie-no whine
iBook- HOLY CRAP THAt IS HOT...
14 Inch- Cool
PowerBook G4-I regret I even touched it.


That is my opinion of apple laptop temps

LOL. Go ahead- roast your lap

[rye9]

My iBook will go between 103 F and 123 F

Hard Drive - 46/ 114

Also, the PBG412inch was on an iLap, and it still was hot. Ouch.:rolleyes:

[aristobrat]

On the 15 inch the two problems didn't seem to be there. There was no whine on it, and it was cool to touch. I checked both underneath and up by the F keys.
FWIW, on the two MacBok Pros that I owned, there'd be no way you'd be able to hear the whine above the hustle and bustle of an Apple store. For me, it was only evident in extremely quiet places, like my bedroom at night, or when people stop talking in a small conference room at work.

Glad to hear that there are cool MBPs out there. The two I owned were definately MUCH HOTTER than the 15" PowerBook they replaced.

Is it possible to get all those temps on a MacBook?
All I see is option for the CPU, I would like to see the temps of the hard disc as well...

My CPU is 34 while browsing the internet

Actually I use it on my lap all the time, and it's not bad at all, iBooks get hot.

Are you using this (http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381)?

I wish there was a way to easily read case temperatures. A well cooled laptop can be hot as the center of the sun inside and still comfortable to use if the heat is vented properly.

The heat coming out of the fan discharge area on my work T60 ThinkPad feels like its coming from a hair dryer (so I know that the CPU and hard drive temps would read "HOT!"), but the casing never gets above room temperature.

To me, it's the comfort of the casing that matters.

Well...technically it was an AAR(apple auth. reseller)

It was dead silent in there.

Hey all, I am totally new here, so wuzzup?

My iBook temps are 40 C idle and 60 C when working. It went as high as 65 C today.

[dollystereo]

I cant get temp from any sensor in my MBP 2.0 with the temp monitor last version.

[mmmcheese]

My MBP 15" idles at 45C...light work (MSN/Word/Safari/etc) is 50C...if I push the GPU and both CPU cores hard, then it will reach 80C, but after a few min the fans come on and it drops to 70-75C.

[rec3490]

OK, So my 17" 1.67 PB has the disease......what's the cure???????
Here's my graph(EKG:rolleyes:) from Temp. Monitor.

Heres the temp of my C2D BlackBook I think is a bit hot LOL: Thanks to Temperature Monitor

Violent! What were you running at the time?

Emm let me see.... UnrealTournament2004+iTunes+Adium+Safari+Mail+ichat +Terminal... and the fans where @ 6200rpm o and UT 2004 was mirrored in a second 17" screen, a bit heavy for my MB maybe LOL.

This would be a pretty easy way to read case temps

And if you are bored you can carry the infrared thermometer with you and just check surface temps of stuff:D.

New SR 2.4 stays at a cool 50.........

[jczubach]

Fairly standard...

bach, what do u use to monitor temp, looks like something i might want to try out.

on the web, using adium, itunes, iphoto, vlc, and numbers. my macbook pro SR temp is 34C

[rec3490]

Which forum has the solution to this problem? This one seems to be about reporting it.

Too cold to touch!

Only just woke it from sleep.

[daneoni]

Normal

[Helfeather]

I usually range from 35~39 celcius w/ the fan running constantly at 3000RPM and a Notebook cooler underneath.

This is just for like surfing on Safari tho.

I've heard these arguments before but the truth of the matter is that intel macs run A LOT hotter than their G4 equivalents.

Powerbook G4 15” 1.5Ghz
CPU Top: 42 C
CPU Bottom: 43 C

MacBook Pro 15” C2D 2.33Ghz
CPU Top: 89 C
CPU Bottom: 92 C

The MBP feels alot hotter than the powerbook cause the case is thinner and the outer shell is closer to the CPU die.

Sorry mate it’s just the facts…

[Cybergypsy]

I have had all sizes of the power book the new SR MBP are much cooler then the powerbooks

[cgdude]

got my SR mbp sweating to 82C in Celestia (predicting the universes movement at maximum speed) what worries me is the fact that the fans hardly did anything :S

normally my temp ranges from 40 to 70C though

[jczubach]

"MacBook Pro 15” C2D 2.33Ghz

i'm sorry, but i think you're cookin' your books. and this excessive heat on a regular basis will come to no good with regard to the rest of the innards. if i may reiterate, keep the ass-end of the 'lap'top (even apple prefers to refer to it as a notebook, check their caveats) off the surface, at the very least, for heat dissipation and monitor your open apps. a cooler cpu is a happier cpu. And the other hardware will likely last longer.

I'll second this. My 2.2GHz C2D CPU is idling at around 40 C and is hitting 52 C under medium load. This is right in line with the G4 1.5GHz in the 12" Powerbook I just got rid of. Throw in the fact that the newer CPU and GPU don't get loaded as easily, and this thing has a larger case than my 12" (more surface area to dissipate heat) and my hands on impression is that this thing is cooler and quieter than the last of the PowerPC generation.

Meh, my 2.4ghz is at 49~51c under idle =/

That's pretty cool mine runs at 50 - 60c idle.

my macbook gets hot FAST!!!

:eek:WHAT IS YOUR TEMP OF YOUR MACBOOK UNDER FULL LOAD????
MINE IS AT 75 - 77C UNDERFULL LOAD

Forgot To Say
Cpu= 75-77c
Heatsink A=66c
Heatsink B=66c

Mine is almost the same but only reaches about 73°C at most. I'm now running Handbrake and MacTheRipperand the processors are running at 96-99% and it's only 66°C.
