MacBook Pro Unibody 2008 running hot on 10.6

[Ploki]

its wierd, its 60 degrees celsium and 2300rpm fans (without any smc fan manglers) just FRESHLY rebooted, and completely CLEAN install! without anything. odesnt matter if its 10.5 or 10.6.
it used to be 44 degrees and 1800rpm fans! and 40 degrees with 2000rpm fans on 10.5. .

Did you reset the smc? Were you on the 9400m and now on the 9600m? Do you see the fans ramping up as the heat increases?

my MBP is not running any hotter or cooler since moving to SL

I recommend using smcFanControl, a great utility had managing fan speed and temperature control.

i have Fan Control prefpane, but on the OTHER system (i have dual 10.6 one is craptastically cluttered, one is fresh)
the thing is, the cluttered one runs on 45 degrees just opened, while the fresh install on 64 degrees cpu.
BOTH running 64bit kernel.
its odd.

Would recommend an SMC and PRAM reset and see if that helps.

 

[Ploki]

will do, but i dont understand why CPU is running hot even if the fans are screwed up.

 

[Ploki]

i just reinstalled it, it still runs hot.

10.6 running hot

Is your new install of 10.6 on your Express/34 SSD card?

I've heard those cards run hot.

 

[Ploki]

nope, stock 15" 2.53 late 2008.

its 60 degrees celsium 3100 rpm IDLING.
thats 1000RPM more than on Leopard and 20 degrees more than on leopard. i cant believe it!
and its a completely fresh install.

Go into Activity Monitor>All Processes. Do you notice anything taking up a lot of CPU?
