normal running temp is always 145-150F

[Max Payne]

It is always warm with me except when I am working it really hard.

[scott523]

My MacBook does its best to keep it at 140F or below. :D

[calyxman]

What app are you guys using? Is there something that will run on Panther?

ill update it so its the computer and not the core temps.. i just have to update my iStat widgets and how do i install the speedit.kext? Please help with Speedit

[backsidetailsli]

can anyone get the temp read from an intel imac core duo?
i cant seem to do it

[pianoman]

normal operating temp is between 60 and 75C (140-167F) depending on what i'm doing. i believe my record high is 81C (177.8F) and my record low is 16C (60.8F).

[Bobdude161]

I have a fan controller that reads different temperatures.

Sawtooth G4/450Mhz

Between CPU and heatsink: 86 F
In heatsink: 84 F
Between RAM slots: 97 F

IT'S COLD IN THERE!

Whew! I thought mine was running extra warm. It has jumped up to 170F once but its normall between 130-145F.

[Me1000]

I have nothing to compare this to other than the bottom temp

I'm not sure what your point is about the fahrenheit and the celsius, I just do that because this is an international community....

As for the temperatures, this is with all fans at their maximum speed. without them on full blast, it's more like this:

[Me1000]

My apologies i thought you were posting 2 of your computers temps, then comparing one, saying it was running a lot hotter than normal. however i dont think you have a problem!

why dont we test our systems like this
make your system running at 100% cpu load using Systemload

http://www.bresink.de/osx/SystemLoad.html

Run it for about 10 minutes and read the temperature using CoreDuoTemp

http://macbricol.free.fr/coreduotemp/

I ran it for 10min and my temp is 74C on a MBP C2D 15" 2.33.

i hope somone can post the same on a 17" as ihear they may run coolers. also i have Invisible Shield Full Armor on my MBP and would like to find out if that adds more heat.

Wow- these temps look high compared to my dual-core PM G5. I panic if that gets up to 130°F. I guess I need not worry. Under low processor useage it usually hovers around 95° to 110°.

Too much difference between the CPU and heat sink.

[SkyBell]

]It's funny, SMC Fan Control and Tempreture Monitor give me differnt temps. usually, SMC is about 20 degrees higher. I don't trust it.

Not at home right now, but normal tempreture is between 120 and 145 on my Intel Core Duo Mac Mini.

some of the older powerbooks and iBooks don't work fully with iStat. my Ti Powerbook would not give up the temp information, but my Aluminum Powerbook does. it has to do with what sensors are place were.

What machine are you running.

[Klrbee25]

Here's my 24" iMac temp and fan info. The first image is before I downloaded SMCFanControl and running fans at 600rpm optical, 1000rpm CPU, and 1300rpm Hard drive. The second image is after installing SMCFanControl and bumping the fan speeds to 1250, 1500, and 1750rpm respectively. Clearly, SMCFanControl can work some wonders by bumping up speeds just a bit (granted the ambient temp also changed, but the temps consistently run cooler now).

I think you better investigate your cooling fans. It's more likely that a fan or two is broken than your sensors needing recalibration. What are your fan speeds?

[Clarence]

I also downloaded core duo temp, and its getting the same readings.

There is also 3 fan cooling pad running under the MBP :mad:

[Klrbee25]

Well it looks like the fans are working but they are at max RPM. How intensively are you using your system? Does the computer feel warm? It's possible that faulty temp sensors could make your fans go at max speed, but again it seems unusual. Let's do this medicine style and assume that common things happen most commonly.

Time to look for obstructions...are you using the computer on a desk or on a 'puffy' surface like a bed comforter, pillow, etc? Check the entrance and exit vents to make sure they are clear. Can you feel hot air coming out the fan ports?

[siurpeeman]

my macbook temps:

[Clarence]

Currently at:

The fans dont even sound like they're running. I can hear them when they're at full tilt, but that really doesent happen until the temp is at 150 F. or more. You would think they would kick on much before that.

I only use entourage, and have a few browsers open. Nothing to crazy. The only system change I have made was I installed LoJack last week... but I dont even notice it run. It has always had this problem since new in January.

I have been guilty of using it on a pillow, but now when I do I have the cooling pad under it to help. What temerature is the 'danger zone" for these things? When I actually use it on my lap, It gets too hot and burns me legs. Not plugged in. Right now it is plugged in, and it seems to get hottest near the plug. I did buy another power supply from apple, and when I got it I noticed that it said it was only good for up to 13 inch power books. It works for my 15" MBP, so I did not return it. I did not see this stipulation when I ordered it, but it is smaller than the power supply that came with the MBP. I only use this PSU in the bedroom.

So that the story and I'm sticking to it. I have a store near me, should I take a trip to the bar?

[zblaxberg]

I'm glad I found this thread. I was afraid my mac pro was too hot:

isn't that picture giving away your ip address??

[Klrbee25]

I'd say to take it in to the Apple store. I've seen my iMac hit 150F when the ambient room temp was about 85F, but the fans never increased speed. When I installed SMCFanControl, my temps almost never go above 115F now. Your power supply won't have any effect when it's not plugged into the computer (obviously), so if it's still running hot when on batteries there is a different issue.

I'd only use it on a flat surface such as a table or desk for now. Do take it to the store so they can look it over. If your processor is hitting 200F, then it's definitely too hot.

One other thing you can do before taking it in is perform a hardware check of the system. This is done by inserting the Mac Software CD (the one that comes with the computer) and holding the 'D' key when the system first starts up. It will load directly into the Apple Hardware checking program and do a system diagnostic. At the end of the test, it runs up all the fans. This way you can at least see if it's logging any errors.

That would be in the box, right? Problem. Not in there.:confused:

[Klrbee25]

You mean you don't have the original Mac discs? They come in the rectangular box that also contains the booklets, mouse, remote, etc. The discs are underneath the cardboard insert, so lift everything out.

[Clarence]

OK heart palpitation over. :o

Also found .mac shrinkwrapped box, which I just compared to the receipt that shows I paid $99 for it!!! Thats going back.


There are two disc's, Mac OSX install disc 1 and 2. Which one, or doesent it matter?

[Klrbee25]

Disc 1 is what you want. It contains the hardware checking program as well as the OS X for reinstalls. Disc 2 contains the programs such as iWork trials, iPhoto, etc.

Pop in the disc while the computer is on. Then shut it down. Once it's off, push and release the 'power' button (like you normally do to turn it on) and then immediately hold down the 'D' key. You'll be able to sort out the rest. If you get an option for a more thorough test, go ahead and select it. It may take more time (30min or so), but it's worth it.

[Clarence]

Thanks for the tech help, and sorry to the thread readers!

Signing off for now.... Be back soon with results!

Apple Hardware Test sez:

No problems mon!

I ran both the regular and thorough tests.

Looks like it's still pretty hot, its been sitting on the table with the cooler running.... a trip to the mall is in my future.

[Clarence]

Well I went to the bar today, and met a rather unfriendly young man who informed me that my screenshots were "worthless" for diagnosing my MBP's temperature issue.

His suggestion? Clearing the hard drive and re-installing the OS. What effect would this have with the heat the processer is generating?

After a lecture about backing up my system, I left the store with absolutely zero satisfaction. They couldn't even tell me what the normal operating temperatures should be, but did inform me that when it got too hot, that it would shut down. GREAT.

Not a happy camper right now.:mad:

[WirelessInn]

See scr prt attached. NOTE/REQUEST for info: I am new to the MBP and Apple for that matter. Questions, out of curiosity (and practicality also!):
1. Why is it so EASY to measure the temps of just about every nook & crannies of the MBP innards?? Is this for real? Are there REALLY sensors all throughout the inside of the MBP? Especially since, just FOLLOWING bootup, my MBP internal temps are already in the 50-60 deg C ALREADY.. Mmmm...
2. Where/how does a MBP 17" - 1 month old - evacuate its heat via the fans? Through the slit in the bottom back, just below the hinges... OR through part of the speakers grills. Knowing would make a difference as far as HOW to supplement cooling of the MBP / pads, xtra fans, etc...
3 As you can see, I use stock iStat Pro. there seems to be other such gauge packages, showing among other things temps of BOTH CPU cores.
4. Which leads to askin: on my attached graphic, no info about the processor's TWO CORES. How can I get that info.
5. Widgets, widgets... I think pulling up info about the workings of the MBP's innards is just as entertaining (watching fans/ rpm, etc...)
Thanks for glancing thru my rambling comments!

Mac Pro. Temps in F

[TerribleTom]

I am running SETI @ Home on my 1.6 Ghz G5 iMac - CPU under full load 100%. The CPU is running 161F/72C - I've noticed that my temps readings (reported by Temperature Monitor) seem to be on the higher side of what people have been reporting. I'm just wondering if I'm risking frying something by trying to help ET Phone Home.

Thanks

[tristan]

MBP CD 2.16ghz: About 46C but I keep the fan speed around 2800 with SMC to hold the temp down, and I try to let it idle - I hate hot computers. If I'm not running SMC or I have something hogging the CPU, like a game or P2P, it can get to 75C.

And yes, I'm an American but use Celsius. Respect the metric system; it represents scientific progress.

[Emulsion]

Meh...

[remark]

My comp runs at idle somewhere between 120-135 degrees fahrenheit. When I open World of Warcraft, here's what happens. Seems crazy, but maybe because my crappy integrated graphics processor is working overtime. Note that I am running WoW in windowed mode, not full screen and that iStat and smcFanControl show relatively the same temperature. Hmm starting to wonder how good it is to be running WoW on my Macbook 2.0

[JG271]

About average temperature for my 1.83 mac mini. Does anyone know why it might be showing two 'CPU A' ? Because of the two cores?

[G4DP]

This is from my mac pro running 100% for the past 24 hours.

[Montie Da Champ]

right now it's at 99 degrees but when i'm watching movies, surfing, emailing, etc it runs about 130 and then i start getting worried

if my computer was ever at 170 i'd shut it down and put a fan on it...

[G.I. Joe]

Just brought it from sleep.

I ran system load at 96% for ten minutes...

After turning off system load (after another ten minutes)

my CPU temp only dropped to 76 C

I barely bought this macbook (13" 2.4 ghz the new one...) and use it for music production.
When I run ableton live with the cpu at 35% temperature is usually at 65 C, so i fear running it further. Should I take it to the mac guys at best buy? I asked one employee at best buy and not a "genius" and he told me that they are supposed to run that hot...? :confused:

any help would be appreciated thanks

[menthol moose]

Full load with Handbrake: it gets quite a bit hot. Strangely enough, even though the CPU and the heatsink get very hot, the top of the laptop doesn't. Even by the hinge for the display it only gets slightly warm.

[iToaster]

My PowerBook likes to get toasty, too bad I'm not around the Mac Pro to post temps of it.

[Prof.]

The hottest my MacBook has ever gotten was 186ºF.

[pscoble]

Well my MacBook Pro is about average when doing normal stuff. However when I play WoW it over heats and freezes and d/cs. It is quite annoying and I don't know if its normal. Not that it matters it's out of warrenty.

[dingster1]

117 F

This is about the normal operating temperature..usually a bit cooler. When I'm running 100% of both cores doing folding, it gets to about 80˚C

[TomsMacBook]

Seems to be this temperature normally for me. Well, I do have the A/C on full-blast most of the time.

Here's temps from my Mac Pro now that I'm around it and ran across this thread.

[hotshotharry]

Mac mini 2.0 running 195% for 1hr room temp 23C fan speed max'd out. I put Arctic silver 5 on the processor heat sink, but it doesnt seem to have made a big difference!

I'm working way too hard. This machine may burst into flames. Macbook Pro 17" (2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)...

[curniac]

Since purchasing my MacBook about a month ago (upgraded from an OLD Mac desktop), it's always bothered me how just watching a video online will cause the CPU and fan speed to go crazy. Very loud. That would be the only complaint I have with my MacBook.

Here's my temperatures (in degrees Celsius).

[Watabou]

Here's my MBP which is currently running Garageband (I'm making me some custom ringtones which is fun) I never have to shell out money for a ringtone again! I love Garageband.

[ib4walrus]

Is there an "important" stat in for temperatures I should look out for (ex. HD temp, CPU A, etc.)?

The CPU and the GPU diode are only the ones I really care about.

[GSMiller]

And yet it's not as hot as my old Compaq Presario ;)...

Sorry but which one is the GPU diode?

It's not as cold as it could be. Normally I run around 48-50C.

wow how do you get istat that big?? i can never get it to go that big it chops off a whole bunch of temps.

wow.. how incredibly stupid of me.

the only reason why i asked is bceause last time i tried that it didnt change anything, that was a coupla dozen versions ago so they might have fixed it then.

thanks man

[jfong425]

how do you show two cpu temps? like CPU a and CPU b? mine only shows CPU a temperature.

[rossco.williams]

transcoding a video file (avi to mp4), my CPU temperature is about 90 deg C (about 194 deg F) on a macbook C2D 2.16 GHz, 2GB ram (generation 1). According to iStat Nano.

[sdschwendener]

[cleanup]

My PC's cores idle at 30 degrees C.

MacBook is significantly hotter of course.

[tbohlsennswssrg]

My Macbook is at: 84ºC/183.2ºF

because the process: mount_hfs is at: ≈100% (out of 200%)

Fans are at 6200 rpm (which is the maximum speed for my Macbook Fans)

[calintz]

84C?! i don't think i've gone that high - what are you doing?

my black book is currently at 46C

what's the highest temp anyone's gotten their mac?

[fishy2k8]

I've gotten 183 F before but i figured out the problem. I had 2 printers trying to spool that werent even connected to the computer so it was taking up the whole cpu basically.

[DoFoT9]

are you sure deg c?

the chip would fail at those temps if i remember the specifications

what program or widget do you guys use?

[dukebound85]

istat menus

or

temperature monitor

i like the former the best between the two

[ill0gical0ne]

Safe operation is defined as anything below 100°C. The catastrophic thermal protection temperature is 125°C; although it won't physically melt until 1400°C.

mine is about 64c on an hp laptop

i only know how to use centigrade... lol of course its °C, i wouldnt lie!

[sangosimo]

when I oc my quadcore, I try to limit my load cpu to 62.5C. I think the first thing I am going to do when I get a mac is reapply the tim.

if your gonna get a lappy, goodluck keeping it below 62.5°C!!!! thats all i can say haha

[MacGeekDC]

189 F.
I think this is the highest it has ever been. I was encoding some video and watch a video online, I'm surprised it got so hot.

Happens with me too. According to iStat, MobileMe sync takes up a surprising amount of the cpu.
