Average Temp of Fans?
Since the original posters question has been answered, I am going to take this a bit further and ask one here myself, as it pertains to this subject, so I dont need to start a new thread.
I have a 20 month old 13" MBP, 256 Ghz, 4Gig Ram, etc.
First Mac I have owned.
Two nights ago my x husband who lives with me brought to my attention that the fan sounded unusually high.
I hadn't noticed but he was right.
I have a program called "CheckUp" installed and clicked in its preferences, a check mark that would send me notifications if the temperature gets to 57 Fahrenheit for any longer than 10 min.
It keeps alerting me that its at roughly 163 F F Limit: 57 F
Exhaust: 2137Rpm - 2151Rpm
Overview: (these below I am reading in iStat Nano now)
CPU 95 Fahrenheit
Fan: 2432 Rpm
HD Mac Drive: 95 Fahrenheit
CPU A: 166 Fahrenheit
Heatsink B: 144 Fahrenheit
Enclousure Bottom: 94 Fahrenheit
Northbridge 1: 130 Fahrenheit
Generally I keep it on 24-7 and am usually at it during the day and evening with several web pages open, Mail, Skype........but never games. I dont usually play any aside from the occasional game of Angry Birds.
Do these numbers above appear right or do I need to be concerned?
Not sure if Check up is just rationalizing its existence on my computer by sending me these alerts which might be in reality, rather unnecessary?
The other info given comes from a dashboard widget iStat Nano.
And yes, my laptop gets very hot to the touch up on the left hand corner near the esc key----just to the left of that and a bit further down
TIA
