scary temperature

[halisray]

hey guys,

just wondering if this is normal lol

im ripping a dvd using handbrake
downloading a movie using transmission
and typing this msg via safari

and my CPU temperature is 89C

is that normal? usually its like 40-50C when browsing safari and itunes
and when i play cs1.6 using crossover it gets up to 80C

are these normal temperatures for a new unibody macbook? i guess so eh? i use a stand and everything lol

thanks for the help!

I'm sure your computer knows what it's doing and will take action if necessary. Don't worry about it.

i use a stand and everything lol

Why is that so funny?

That's normal if you are really pushing for an extended period of time.

Your computer has an internal heat measuring system, if the heat sinks fail to do the job, your computer will shut down, before it overheats.

But could it harm the battery by damaging some cells ??

Unlikely. The only hot bits are the CPU & GPU dies and the heatsink connecting them. The battery is well away from all this action. And the temperature difference between "normal" and "shutdown" is probably only a few degrees C. An extra couple of degrees for a few seconds won't affect the battery.
