Have you told customer relations in apple that the fans FAIL to spin up any faster than idle no matter how EXTREME the temps of the cpu get??
This is clearly indicative of a broken machine.
+1 for running that piece of **** into the ground.
you must have the patience of a saint, I am personally angry for you at this stage!!
Yes.
Group 8 told me on Thursday that the fans are only 200rpm at 106C. I told Apple this they didn't say much. Today I hear that the fans REACH, not exceed a rpm of UP TO 4000rpm at 106C, again Apple assume this happens all the time and my machine is being cooled by the fans 24/7.
I keep telling Apple that the crashes are intermittent hence why Group 8 can't always reproduce them, so with this they assume that hardware is fine. (Although the Group 8 engineering supervisor said that the HDD could have stalling issues)
Apple is also saying that it's within spec in terms of temps. I asked which spec this is because Apple's website says 95C is too hot and Intel says 105C is max. Safe operating temp. Apple said that the machine is running safely and Group 8 have tested this. Basically, no matter what I say to Apple, they just go back on what Group 8 say.
I could quite easily write a book about my issues in the past few weeks. I've had people lying to me, not giving accurate or consistent info/facts to Apple or myself which mean there is a lot of misunderstanding. I'm going to stop there because the list is endless.
I enjoy reading your comments though I'm giving the harsh CPU/GPU attempts a second thought.
Oh, I also told Apple that I will go to the press
