Hey guys,

I am a bit worried about the temperature of my processor. It is an Intel T9400 2,53Ghz in the Unibody MBP.

When I am not doing intensive stuff, but just browsing around and playing iTunes music through AirTunes, the temps are around 47C-53C (Celsius).

Is this ok? I heard that someone had the temps around 25-30C (Celsius), but cannot believe it is true.

Should I be worried???
 
my tea is hotter than your cpu, and it doesn't burn my mouth when I drink it, I think you're fine..
 
you're fine...

Let me tell you something... i have a desktop (windows i know - for crysis) but i built it in about $400... it has an Intel Pentium 4 -- Overclocked from 2.6 to 4.8 Ghz... the core temps go to about 80-95 degrees celcius :eek: and it pushes crysis at medium settings =) single core! :D so my point being, safe operating temp for a CPU is anywhere between 27 degrees Celcius and 105 Degrees celcius.

You're fine, dont be worried. enjoy your MBP ;)
 
There seems to be a new "Is my temps normal?" thread every day, maybe there should be a sticky thread or something...
 
Okay guys.
Thanks for your replies.
If I scan my harddrive using ClamXav antivirus, the temperature of the processor goes up to 78-80C (Celsius). I hope it is normal too, because I normally never reach these temps.... :(

Thats still fairly cold. Why are you using Clam AV?? Theres no viruses for Mac, NONE, NOTHING, NOT 1 but 0. Such a complete waste of your processing power, therefore wasting you time.

I've heard about a new trojan which has been made for Mac OSX... so I am pretty scared to get it one day and lose all my important data... :) But it is nice to know that my temps are within the range of normal ones...

You can only get that trojan if you illegaly download a certain piece of softwafe from a certain website, and theres other, more likely ways for you to loose all your data, which is why you should backup using time machine every day.
