Latest software update made my MBP run hotter consistently

[dcdude]

I have a 2.8ghz macbook pro running leopard and after finally downloading the latest software update bringing me to 10.5.8 I feel it's running hotter nearly all the time.

when simply using garageband, my MBP never usually ran hotter than 125 F, but after the update it runs at 180 constantly in garageband

could the update have done anything to make this happen, it's the only change I can think of

Spend $30 to upgrade and find out if that was it

From huge experience with garage band, I doubt that your CPU was only 125F.

But if you are 100% sure it was so, then I don't know.

Also use programs like Temperature Monitoring and not SMC fanControl to check temps. Maybe smc was reading from a wrong diode before the update.

I might be wrong on all of that, but that is all I can help you with.
