Whats Ur Mbp Temp.?

[imaomao]

after playing about half hour game

Temp.
CPU A around 60
GPU Dide around 70
Gdu Heatsink around 60
Heatsink A around 60
Heatsink B around 50
Enclsure Bottom 35
Memory Ccontrol 55
Fujitsu Mhw21 40

data from iState pro...

my mpb has replaced logice borad once by the Apple center
its hot to touch the keyborad

[Adamo]

I'm not sure (just getting the widget of iStat now), but it sounds as if it's going to take off! Crazy considering it cost £1400 and that it's like a jet engine.

Mine are:

45
55
43
43
40
37
57
39

I'm only running Azureus and Safari.

[Kilamite]

Right now..running Adium, iTunes, Transmission, Firefox, Address Book, Entourage.

CPU Core 1 and 2 = 49'C
Graphics Processor Temp Diode = 58'C
Memory Controller = 51'C

What are the normal temps for a 17" MBP and if I was using iStatpro or one of the other programs when should I kick the fans up more?

Surfing on New MBP cool as ever!

[amusiccale]

under (CPU) load:

CPU A: 78
GPU diode : 74
GPU heatsink: 61
heatsink a: 56
heatsink b: 46
enclosure bottom: 38
memory control..: 53
FUJITSU, etc.: 40

using SMC fan control with min @ 4000 rpm, at 2000s it was running in the 80s.

EDIT: the keyboard is not too hot to touch, if that helps. The strip above it, particularly the left-center section is probably not for touching.

[Streitzguy]

If you set SMC fan control to default, does it change the fan speed as if the system normally would?

I wonder if there exist a grey and orange theme for whole os x =P

[Cybergypsy]

thats atheme for the istatpro widget :)

To my knowledge, it's changing the minimum fan speed--so there's nothing stopping it from going up to 6K if it really wants to.

[vicious7]

PS, Azureus, Mail and Firefox on.

[Gen3tix]

Hmm...mbp's been on for about an hour running firefox, ichat,and itunes. running on battery

CPU A: 37
GPU Diode: 43
GPU Heatsink: 38
Heatsink A: 36
Heatsink B: 30
Enclosure Bottom: 26
Memory Controller: 28
Fujitsu MHW21...: 27

Wow...that's cold. Do you have your fans running high or one of those cooling pads or is it winter in your room ;)

it should be dead quiet at those temps

[rev316]

49-69 withoutload
70-85 w/ load

(CPA - mbp '07)

[Sbrocket]

Not really. The fans are (for some reason) controlled by the Memory Controller's temperature. While it shouldn't be really loud, I'd imagine that the fans are going over 2000RPM.

Adamo: Have you used any fan control software? SMCFanControl? Fan Control sysprefs panel?

[jczubach]

I am completely paranoid about the heat issue and keep everything in the 38-48 degree C. range at all times. smc fan control b'tween 2500 and 3500rpm depending on what's running. As well, i keep a teeny little fan pointed at the back vent on particularly warm days. Don't care what the specs say, processors run better at cooler temps(from what i hear) and if i can keep the surrounding components as cool as possible, i figure it can't hurt overall longevity.

the OP's temps are fine, its the second person im concerned about, however the fact that its controled by the memory controler makes sense, his is awfully hot 58c??

my current temps are
54
59
53
53
41
32
50
36

im sitting about a ft away from it, and i can hear my DVR (about 4' away) over the laptop i can only hear the laptop if i put my ear inches away from the case

you keep WHAT cool to 38-48?

cant be the CPU thats impossible unless you're sitting in a room thats about 30f

i think the lowest ive ever seen mine is 48c

My CPU is @ 41C at this very moment. Current room temp. is about 18C:p

mine runs at 38 too see above :)

which MBPs do you have? CPU Speed

and how do you take a screenshot

[jczubach]

just so you don't go disparaging my good(?) name.

[jczubach]

:apple:(command) shift 3 and drag cursor around desired objects. png file should magically appear on your desktop.

I haven't. What should I do?

[seanofford]

Just been on second life for half an hour and my temps went up to 80 and 81 for CPU A and GPU Diode. Should I be worried? (Only got computer on Thursday).

Thanks,

Sean

:mad:

dude, you should probably black out your ip

[djejrejk]

here is my readout from istat

[metalmoses]

Mine was burning my lap, this helped

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23137

[synth3tik]

Mine is not to bad, gets warmer if I am really using the GPU, even playing Bejeweled, but still not bad.

i do hope those are in fahrenheit

[magius]

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23137

is that better than smc fancontrol in your opinion? I was wary to use such a program, but it seems the consensus is that it is good.... anyone know of any sideffects? (fan control seems safer)

[DoFoT9]

i do hope those are in fahrenheit

oh as do i!!!!!!!

BTW: mines in C°

[magius]

holy mother! I hope that (83 cpu) is under load.

[DoFoT9]

holy mother! I hope that (83 cpu) is under load.

always :cool:

folds for me day and night.
my new imac will also be doing that too, maybe not as higher cpu though...

[aliquis-]

dude, you should probably black out your ipwhy? :D

[DoFoT9]

dude, you should probably black out your ip

lol no1 else has

[chaoticprout]

I hit 81 the other day while playing world of warcraft

[DoFoT9]

meh im bored sposed to be studying for maths.

this was taken about a week ago when i was doing some stuff.

[Adamo]

SOME stuff?! You could boil water on that, it's waaay too high for a processor to be, that's crazy.

[DoFoT9]

SOME stuff?! You could boil water on that, it's waaay too high for a processor to be, that's crazy.

stuff such as...
1.folding at 100%
wateva can be taken from that 100% is then used to
1. rip 2 dvd's
2. convert another dvd via airport (slow as)
3.surf, itunes, adium
4.iphoto
5. play that wierd online game, cant remember it.

[Nightkrawler]

after 4 minutes Workload test from Intel Thermal Anasysis Tool in windows *mad*

When i benchmark with 3dmark 06 the CPU has to throttle :(
Im gonna replace my thermal paste soon.

[dimme]

I run between 40 and 60C on the CPU but my GPU is always 5 to 10C higher. I am not worried about CPU temps because thy are rated for 100C but wht is the temp rating of the GPU? I saw a unofficial post somewhere about 90C as the upper end. Mine is the nivida GeForce 8600M GT 256.

[DjAndy]

Here is mine on idle state...

[imaomao]

Apple Reseller "Next Byte" Stuff (Australia) told me that

its normal that MBP gets around

70
80
68
63
46
34
53
38

after playing 30 mins game and told me that MBP prob designed to play game

mmm... good for winter... feel cold? turn on ur MBP :D

Pic its up

[Sbrocket]

My MBP 2.4GHz, Folding@Home running with close to 100% on both cores all day:


CPU A -- 71˚C
GPU Diode -- 68˚C
GPU Heatsink -- 60˚C
Heatsink A -- 55˚C
Heatsink B -- 45˚C
Enclosure Bottom -- 36˚C
Memory Controller -- 54˚C
Hard Drive -- 40˚C


This is sitting on a desk with less than ideal ventilation. Just to give an idea of non-idle temperatures.

[magius]

smcfancontrol really makes a difference. I'm running @ 46 cpu right now (safari/transmission) when I used to be running @ around mid 50s to mid 60s.
