May I have some opinions on these stats, please ? Seems my MBP is very hot !

I'm ripping a DVD using Handbrake and I was surprised to see the CPU heat going over 100.

Could someone interpret these stats for me please ?

Is my computer in danger ?

Thank you !

PS: My mac's model is the one in my signature !

Intel CPUs have thermal safety features, so they will not burn up even under abnormal conditions or loss of cooling power. They start to throttle back at 105C and if the temperature hits 125C the CPU may force the computer to shut down.

Approaching 105C may indicate a problem with the cooling system, but the only thing that will happen as a result is that it may be slower under full load. Up to even 100C is considered normal though.

That's pretty hot, but everyone I know with your model claims they could fry a medium sized hog on their MBP in under 20 minutes. So I wouldn't worry too much but keep in mind that it has the potential to burn you, so be careful!!!

This gave me a chuckle.

For intensive ops, that temp is normal. All the time, no.
