I've done a search but couldn't find what I'm looking for. To any 13" MBP owners could you post your idle temps preferably via iStatPro? I'm interested to see how much cooler the system runs with the new 320M inside.

HD 40c
CPU 60-61
Heatsink 39
Enclosure 33
Northbridge 54
Mem 38
Power supply 35
The only thing that really changes drastically for me is the CPU temp. I mostly hover around 48 at idle.
The new Macbook air 13" ultimate has just arrived. Great new laptop, but if i play two 1080p youtube-videos the temps go as high as:
Cpu: 187F / 85 C
Northbridge: 154F / 67 C
fan: 6495 RPM (loud)
With a 75% cpu using rate.
(I read this out with the istat pro widget)
EDIT: Room temp = 20 C
This is not normal. Way to hot. Do you guys have the same Temps?!!
Im kinda used to back in the day with custom built pcs and i remember i was very freaked out by high temps
i just played 1 hour straight of starcraft 2, i checked temps on the end. 80 degrees celsius, fans were at 4000RPM, i believe 6200RPM or something is max. Is that normal, room was pretty hot.
I'm wondering if anyone could post what your regular temps for your 2010 i7 iMac (or i5) are as well as what your temps are under load in Mac OS X; interested in all of the temperatures listed in iStat Nano but primarily CPU, GPU, HD and OD (optical drive).
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to monitor the GPU temps for my 5870 in my 6 core 2010 mac pro? It appears the popular temp monitor apps dont yet spot the GPU to my knowledge. The thing is always completely silent even during hours of starcraft2 play and I am a tad paranoid as I would expect the fans to come up to an audible level during intense 3d gaming.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently my computer has started to run slowly in things like games and the only time that it runs normaly is when I restart my computer and then it gets slow again after about 5 min. My computer's cpu has been running at about 77-87 deggres celcius. Is that the normal running temps of a 2010 13-inch macbook pro? I have asked on some other places and they have said that it is dust in my comp that is heating the cpu up and therefore making it run slower.

I am running a headless Mac Mini off of my modem as an Internet gateway, DNS server, mail server, etc. I am just setting it up now, so I am wondering what is the best software (apart from the very expensive Apple Desktop Remote package) to run this Mini from another desktop? If it is also supported by iPad, that's a plus, but really not important as I find remote desktop software on the iPad to be pretty clunky in general. I'd prefer to use free software, but not if it means not opting to use something much better that costs a little money.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm creating several movies that will play before a church service begins. Usually we just buy countdown videos, but this time I thought I'd get creative and make some. There is always a countdown timer that starts at 5:00 and counts down to 0. This way people know when the service is going to start, from 5 minutes out. I have been searching and searching and cannot find any way to overlay a countdown timer in iMovie HD or iMovie '08 (I have both).
Can someone suggest something? I don't want just a countdown movie, it has to be only in the corner or something. I want to use some footage of driving to church, make it fast forward so it finishes in exactly 5 minutes, and have a countdown timer display overtop of that in a corner. I've tried using the Slick 5 Gallery for iMovie, but they just have countdown movies, not overlay. Also, the Labels & Overlays from stupendous software has a timer, but it only counts up.
I noticed my battery life and temps a higher then normal, decided to purchase and scan with virus barrier X6 and up came a iservices.b2 trojan. I removed it and now I notice my temps 10c lower and battery life about 1 hour more. This trojan was sitting resident on my mac for a little while now without my knowledge. Intego says it is mostly bundled with pirated software, but I have nothing pirated, everything I purchased. Now I am trying to find where this came from. If you have high temps and a low battery life unexpectedly....scan your machine.
View 24 Replies View RelatedWhenever I use something cpu/graphic intensive, the temp shoots up and stays up. Normally I would idle at around 36C, but after I use youtube or play any game, the temps would stay at around 55C even after exiting all the programs and is at 99% idle. It's fine when I'm plugged in, but when I'm using my battery, I only get about 2.5 hours with the brightness on very low and wifi/bt off. Checking the stats on iStat, the battery is using 19Watts at idle.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm deciding to buy myself a new mac pro coming around Jan-Feb and since mac pro's cost sooo much I'm cutting money on every corner; from buying only on amazon to using magazine coupons. The biggest money waster in my opinion is the 22' Led Cinema display apple sells. It costs around 900$ to buy an apple display which hasn't been updated for 3+ years when new Dell monitors of the same size (with camera installed and quality optional speakers) cost roughly about 400 max? I know apple displays are premium but extra 500 bucks is ridiculous.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an iPad 32GB WiFi and a MacBook Pro as well so I was trying very hard to justify myself in getting an 11" MBA but ending up talking myself out of it. The 13" MBP is perfect for my uses. It's already lightweight and portable as it is. After playing with the 11" in the Apple store, I was impressed on how light it was. This no doubt blows away any netbook or any notebook in it's weight class in terms of size and performance. However, the MBP's battery life, hard drive space, and processing power OUTWEIGHS the reasons of dumping my 13" MBP for the Air. Also, I have it hooked up to a 21.5 Inch HP monitor at home and it's good enough to use as a main computer at home, and light enough to take on the road.
If I needed to lookup something quickly in bed or around the house, that's where the iPad comes in. If I needed to send a quick e-mail, my HTC Evo is already great at doing that. If I didn't have a 13" MBP or even the iPad, I would have most likely went ahead and purchased the MBA. Just now at this point, spending another $1000+ or getting rid of my MBP doesn't make much sense... yet.
Let me just say that I'm not a Mac user and and never have been i have the UK iPhone and was waiting in line to get it, so i do appreciate Apple products. Basically i want to find out the total of all the bandwidth that all the PC's/Mac's are using in my household, I've got the software for my Windows machines but my sister has a Macbook (which i recommended her btw) and i don't have a clue what to get for it? I need something that can display daily & weekly preferably monthly even hourly if it has it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been lurking MacRumors ever since 'the wait for Arrandale' began and finally decided to sign up now so I could post this thread. I've been a Windows user for a long time now and I have a Win7 rig at home. However, I'll be going to uni later this year so I need a good portable notebook that's suitable for the common mailing 'n surfing, but also for doing some programming in Eclipse (Java) and PHP work etc. I still have my Win7 box at home for gaming and things that require larger screensize, but for the notebook... I feel really attracted to OSX with a MBP.
It will be my first Mac, but my desktop dualboots with OSX and I love it. So that's why I have decided that my school notebook will be a Mac. This is why I have been closely watching the rumors for the new MBPs and ofcourse I was pretty disappointed when I saw that the 13" model still had a C2D cpu... It's not that I need a beefed up CPU in my notebook (... I have a 3.6 GHz quad at home ), but it feels 'wrong' to buy a MBP 13": even the 2009 MacBook has a C2D, so what will the MB 2010 update bring? Is it really worth the extra money? Anyone with a similar situation?
Running a 2.8 GHz Uni MBP and a 24" LED display. Temps without the display are a cool 40*C or so with a couple applications. With the display and a few applications like skype, itunes, safari, etc, i see temps in the upper fifties, or right around 50 just driving the display and a couple browsers. what temps are you seeing when running your external display?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I've seen my Mac Pro 8-core CPU temps rise pretty considerably, between 10-15C after a bone head move on my part. After setting up a new Vista x64 virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 2, I was trying to get a Linksys USB to Ethernet adapter (USB200M) to work inside this virtual machine, but with little success. After tracking down a driver online which I thought at the time was a match for the chip on the adapter, I tried to load the driver manually in the virtual machine. This unfortunately resulted in an immediate OS X kernel panic; my first and only on this machine. Since then, my CPU temps have been on the rise. Not sure if its even possible for a kernel panic to damage hardware, but I'm wondering if any low-level software damage resulting from the kernel panic could be causing the higher temps?
I tried a simple restart which did nothing. I have since run the extended Apple Diagnostics and everything appeared OK. Also, ran a "fsck" check and everything appeared OK there as well. Is it even possible to damage hardware from a kernel panic? Finally, my kernel_task process seems a bit on the high side 83 threads, 350MB Real Memory and almost 2.5GB Virtual Memory. Could this be related to the kernel panic and indicate that I probably need a clean install of Leopard at this point? This is an Early 08 2.8GHz 8-core Mac Pro with 10GB third-party RAM. RAM has been thoroughly tested and running in the machine for over a year now without incident.
My hard drive temp is averaging around 50˚ (Celsius) isn't that just a little hot?

Maybe I dont know much about CPU/GPU's, but this seems very hot to me! I mean, 100 C is boiling temperature! Am I at risk of melting/damaging anything in there? If not, how is it possible that the components can operate so hot?
