MBP temprature

[applebook]

Doing some encoding in Motion / VisualHub, I can easily get my MBP to get up to 110 C.

How is this possible? Intel programs the CPU to shut down at 105C.

Basically it's because Apple doesn't provide a descent GPU driver for Windows. The GPU isn't locked down when system is idle. Update to the newest driver from Nvidia would solve this problem.

I'll buy a mbp in this coming tax free weekend, and I'll try this as well.

I don't know what some people are doing to these systems. Doing processor intensive tasks with your laptop sitting on your bed? Maybe next to a camp fire or in direct sunlight? I have worked my Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, and Macbook Air to the absolute limits and like I said I never, not once saw above 180 F. I know for a fact Intel Processors shut off at a specific temp (discovered that after forgetting to plug in the heatsink fan on a custom build). So how your system can reach such insane temperatures without burning you is beyond me. When my laptop got to 180 F it was uncomfortable to touch, if you hit 230 F (50 F difference), I don't see how that wouldn't burn you.

^ If it’s hot outside and you’re doing something intensive (playing a game for example), you definitely can hit 90*C+ easily.

I suppose. Maybe I just got a quirky system that actually stays cool. I play the occasional Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 5, etc and my temps for my Macbook Pro still never passed 180*F, even on a summer day. Lucky me!

IIRC, Tjunction Max is when starts to throttle, not when it shuts down.

If you don't want to read it, don't open it. Let alone take the time to comment in it.


My u-MBP was averaging about 52 degrees Celsius while I was using it at work for 8 strait hours a day. Then I went to BestBuy and picked up the Targus Chill Mat for $20. My computer now averages 38 degrees Celsius. Not a bad $20 investment if you ask me.

I highly recommend this to anyone using their Macbook/Macbook Pro on a desk all day.
