Hi all, I have had my Macbook for a couple of years now and loved every min. (apart from the moments that cost me £200).
Anyway I swapped this on Swapz for my Macbook black 2.16, direct swap, soon realised why but fixed it, (Lad thought it had the Nivida graphics card issue, it was the monitor ribbon).
Anyway here are my Stats:
MacBook Pro (MacBookPro3,1)
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2200 MHz
4 GB - DDR2 SDRAM @ 667 MHz
GeForce 8600M GT
Hardrive:
Capacity: 320.07 GB (320,072,933,376 bytes)
Model: WDC WD3200BEKT-00F3T0
Revision: 11.01A11
Serial Number: WD-WXM409SK6509
Native Command Queuing: Yes
Queue Depth: 32
Removable Media: No
Detachable Drive: No
BSD Name: disk0
Rotational Rate: 7200
Medium Type: Rotational
Partition Map Type: GPT (GUID Partition Table)
S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified
I want to optimize my Macbook as much as I can, also taking car of it to try to avoid the dreaded Nivida graphics errors. I notice whilst playing flash games, Online games or normal 3D games the heat rises to 95ºc. I recently used some Antec Diamond thermal paste, (a thin layer) this has calmed it down under load a few ºc.
Is their any advice people can give me? I can't afford a new laptop so I'm going to do what i can to prolong the life of this one. It does scared the hell out of me when i see it get over 90ºc.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys .
