Macbook Pro SR 15" CPU heating up

[pingouin]

I am using my 2nd 15" MBP SR 2.4... 1st one gave me several kernel panics after I got it for a few days, exchanged... anyways, I noticed the CPU of this unit is quite hot...averaging 70 degrees or so... I then checked the activity monitor, there's a Process ID under root named "nano" is using 97.7% constantly... any ideas? I am not running any other applications.

thanks

70C is not that hot for a MBP.

I know 70c is not that hot... but when I open photoshop and safari... both programs stalls for a few minutes... the keyboard wont respond... just weird.

You have iStat Nano installed? That has stalled my system a couple of times.

yep, seems like a process that got funky, just quit it. sometimes Azureus does that on me, starts using 90% CPU, i just quit it and re open and all is back to normal :D

70'C [b]is[/b hot for a SR MBP.

It should never reach that temperature if you aren't doing much on it - mainly surfing the net etc.

Mine can reach that if I'm doing intense things on it - such as decoding things or playing a game.

You have an issue if your MBP is at 70'C whilst at idle.
