Hi all,
Hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas & New Year.
I bought a black MacBook in the sales, really good deal, and I prefer them over the aluminum. But again I have temperature worries. Has apple actually released any documentation on safe temperature for there hardware?
Anyway here's my story.
I have installed UT2004 on my MacBook, and I am getting temperatures between 70-85C when in game, and the CPU is only at half load. Is this safe to be running the game at these temps?
My idle temp is the usual 35-55C for average use: IM, FF, VMWARE etc.
I use SMC control and set the default fans to 2500RPM and have a profile for when I am gaming maxing the fans out at 6200RPM but still the higher temps when playing UT.
I know the MB is not a gaming machine, but UT2004 is such an old engine there should be no issues running on MB hardware, just a little tense about the temps.
