45nm Polycarbonate MacBook Idle Temps

[TheScavenger]

I just got my Penryn 45nm MacBook last week and wanted to share some of my observed idle temps.

CPU- 39 degrees

Northbridge- 39 degrees

I am very pleased with these temps. How do they compare with the other 45nm and 65nm MBs? I am going to do some stress testing tonight to check for peak CPU and NB temps

They're normal. There's a very wide range of what idle can be, generally due to the ambient temperature of the room.

Congrats, yours isn't defective..

Hehe, thanks 😀

I am mainly curious to how these temperatures compare to their 65nm Merom chips counterparts.

Pretty much the same; Merom just consumed more power among other things.

Generally, more power consumption= more heat output, no?

I'd be interested to hear how you MB performs for real world tasks, I'm thinking on picking one up in the next few days.

This is true.

Thats in celsius. I should of specified.

Are you talking to me? Do you want me run any benchmarks for you?

Yes, that'd be great,thank you.
Any you can think of would be fine, be good for you too to see what temps your getting whist its running hard

I want mine to read that in kelvin 🙂
