I guess it will be a nice heating pad in the winter but whew, does this thing get HOT!
i downloaded smcsmartfan and it keeps giving me alert saying close all other fan control or battery control applications and all i have is istat how do i getpast the alert i have restarted already and that does nothing i got rid of istat and that doesn't work either please help thanks
Even 63C is not that high for a MBP. The Intel processors used in Macs are designed to automatically shut down to prevent damage if they truly overheat (around 100C/212F - 105C/221F, depending on your processor). As long as that's not happening, you don't need to worry about temps.Bit late on this one, but are there any suggestions what a "healthy" temp for a MacBook Pro might be? I have a 15'' from the year before they did the re-designed glossy screened ones.
I guess if it feels like it might scald me while I'm typing that's s a bad thing, but are there any guidelines?
I downloaded the latest SMCFanControl (2.3.2) and it was showing 63 C while spinning at 2000 RPM. I bumped it up to 4000 and am now down to a more comfy 53 C -- still seems on the high end though, and I am not doing anything that would cause a lot of CPU use at the moment!
Read my post, 2 before yours. It applies to your situation, as well.I have a MBP 15" 2.2 i7 I got about 3 weeks ago. It has been running 80-90C for when I do anything more than minimal tasks. Just a minute ago, I was exporting photos in Lightroom and using Safari and the temp peaked at 91C.
Is this a problem? Shouldn't it be running cooler than this? I'm not doing anything more than photo editing on here. No video encoding or playback.
Once Lightroom stopped, temps dropped to 55C. Is that really a big enough program to cause such a rise in temps? CPU usage was between 40-60%.
hey guys,
my macbook pro is running at about 4000 rpm but the temperature hovers around 70 degrees. is this normal?
This has been a real concern and your recommendation was perfect. I was running around 74° (I understand that the chip will shutdown at 100°- but my feeling is that if it feels too hot it probably is). I think it is a battery issue, but I cannot afford a new one.You might want to install smcfancontrol, I have it set to 4000RPM and it keeps it at a reasonable temperature.

iStat Pro will give you accurate readings of your temps, among other things.
Unless there is a rare defect in your Mac, your temps are well within the normal operating range, considering the workload you're putting on it. Websites with Flash content, games and other multimedia apps will put higher demand on the CPU/GPU, generating more heat. This is normal. If you're constantly putting high demands on your system, such as gaming or other multimedia tasks, expect temps to rise and fans to spin up accordingly. It's just your Mac doing its job to maintain temps within the normal range.
Your fans are always on when your Mac is on, spinning at a minimum of 2000 rpm (for MBPs) or 1800 rpm (for MBAs and MBs). They will spin faster as needed to keep temps at a safe level. If they're spinning up without increased heat, try resetting the SMC. Also, make sure you don't block the vents, which are located at the rear, near the hinge.
Please post proof of that claim. You should spend some time educating yourself, as 63C is well within the normal safe operating range for Mac notebooks, and will not cause CPUs or GPUs to fail.So why miions of mac owners complaining about gpu fail ??

Jeeez i been through all of them on sale on ebay!! Logic bord replaced logic board replced ..
Just ask apple how many warranties about hardware fail they had to proceed with mac pros..
