Macbook Pro Average Temperature?

[diego898]

Hello!

I just bought at 15inch macbook pro (about a month ago) and I have a widget telling me my CPU temperature called iStat. When I am video chatting on iChat the top left of my mbp gets pretty warm and the temperature reads CPU:76 C / CPU Heatsink:60C. Is this normal temperature for such an action? When should I be worried?

Thanks

If you search, you'll find literally hundreds of threads on this topic, giving you thousands of replies on what are normal temps, which yours are.

Yeah that's about right. If you would like to control your fans, grab this:

It's SMC fan control, it lets you modify the speed of your fans.

use FAN CONTROL 1.2 it does a great job at turing up the fans sooner when things get hot. I used SMC Fan Control for years, but FAN CONTROL is fool proof.
