Whats the normal temperature suppose to be for the CPU? Mine is at 72 Degree's Cel. I tried using smc fan control on my new MBP and set the fan speeds higher and it didnt seem to work so I used fan Control which Worked my Cpu's temp is 72 Degee with fans spinning at 5000 rpm is this normal?
View 10 RepliesI just installed iStat. It is an AWESOME app! Where have I been? Are there any other must have apps?
To my main question ... I've noticed my temp ranges from 130's (F) to 150's (youtube). Is this normal?
My cpu temp is 56� C idle.
Is this normal?
Anyone having this values?
I was just adding some Quicklook plugins when my temps started to soar. I have restarted, repaired permissions, removed said plugins, and tried other accounts. Nothing is lowering the temps. Weird thing is is Activity Monitor is showing NOTHING using the processor nearly enough to jump my temps to 85 C with nothing running.
I'm "controlling" the issue for now by ramping my fans to full speed. Even with this I am hovering around 70 C...a good 10-15 C above what I am normally at (and was at 30 minutes ago).
*Note: Normally running fans at 6000rpm would give me temps in the mid to low 40 C range
i've recently bought a mac pro with this spec:-
1x2.8 ghz quad core
2 gigbit ram
320 hdd
ati 2600
my new mac pro was cool in the beginning but, these last days is acting really weird, right now i'm using my mac pro like it's a jet plane about to take off, the sound of the fan is to noisy, i mean i've checked my temperatures and fan speed and i think every thing is normal but this:-
CPU B temp is 126c or 260f
fan speed of the exhaust and cpu fan are between 2700-2800 rpm
this only happens when i run games with high graphic or when i use video codecs ("xilisoft ipod video" convertor avi -> mp4, "submerge" for adding subtitle to movies and xilisoft dvd to ipod convertor) or a program that needs high speed, but the fan and the temp does not cool down even if close all of the application , i can only stop it when i shut down my mac pro , so every time when the noise start, i get this fear and shut down my mac pro for few seconds then i turn it on again to cool it a little bit, and some times it doesn't unless if i turn it off for more than 5 minutes
i even opened my case to look inside and touch my parts (ram, gpu, logic board, cpu) of course after i unplug the power cord , but what i found is that my ati gpu card was very hot when i checked the temps with my fingers i kind of burned my finger when i touch the ati card , is this is normal??
and my istate pro is telling me that cpu b is 126c but the gpu is the hottest part in the computer
I wanted to see how hot my temps would get at max so I ran handbrake for 30 minutes and Cinebench simultaneously over and over. This room does not have A/C. As soon as Cinebench started running the multi core render for a while the machine was at max temp.
CPU A 157 Fahrenheit Northbridge 126 Fahrenheit
Remember, I set the temps to display in Fahrenheit and not Celsius. So I would assume CPU A was maxed out at 70 Celsius.
Is this okay/normal when pushing the machine to a max temp? And what in the world is the Northbridge temp? It just looked important so I listed it. lol
Also how can you tell the temp of the GPU?
I was wondering wat the recommended temperature for the macbook 13". I've got SMC fan control and it shows mine it 56C but i set it to Higher setting but it doesn't stay onto the minimum speed i set it.

View 20 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a program to monitor my late 2008 unibody Macbook Pro's temperatures. Just a few minutes ago while playing music/playing an ONLINE game real briefly it warned me that my CPU temperature was too high. (167˚ F) Is that too high of a temperature? What should the "range" be?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a MacBookPro5,4 2.53GHz with one fan and only the 9400M. After updating to 10.6.3 the operating temperature seems to have risen from about 43 degrees C to about 48. It has been getting warmer here in Japan so the ambient temperature is different but I still think this rise in temp. is due to the update. I have smcfancontrol installed and set to 2500rpm instead of the normal 2000, but it seems to be not enough to keep the temp. under control, as it did before the update. Any relatively hard use of the cpu and the temp goes up to 60 degrees.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt just froze on me about 20 min ago. All I was doing was listening to iTunes and browsing the music store. I looked at the temp of the computer and it seems kinda high, I don't know too much about this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a longtime PC user who just got a macbook. I copied all my picture files to my macbook and opened up iPhoto. I used the "Import to Library" option to load all my pictures. I noticed that iPhoto copied all my photos to a Photo Library file under the Pictures folder.
Why does iPhoto make copies of the pictures and store them in a separate "file"? This makes it confusing because I have all the pictures that I originally copied but then when I'm in iPhoto, the program is actually accessing the pictures from this separate location.
- Is iPhoto not able to just read files from a normal folder structure?
- How do I manage/organize individual picture files if I'm not within iPhoto?
- How do I burn picture files to a CD/DVD if I can't see the individual pictures when not in iPhoto?

There is no way I am paying for a new air or repairing it. Im almost close to getting my Mac Pro.

I transfered my files from my old PC to my MacBook Pro. It created an alternate user and requires a password. I tried to use my old PC password but it isn't accepting it. How do I find the password it wants or create a new one?

I wnated to download the new mountain lion software but I can't get it in the App Store, because there is no App Store on my computer. Can I download it? Is it supposed to be in my applications folder?

I'm not too fond of it, I think its noisy and needs just a slight too much force to click. I only click it when I "right click"
ive been having this problem for over a week now and i cant seem to find an answer on how to fix it.i recently downloaded a file which had some vsts in it(demo's)i installed them but ever since then i cant get past the initial desktop screen on my macbook pro.(you know just before your icons pop up on the desktop screen)
i keep getting the spinning wheel.
now ive tried every command under the sun to rectify this but its not working.its been suggested to me that i should boot from my install disk but after moving countries i lost it.i did happen to get a mac osx disk from a friend of mine but this only lets me get into a sreen where i can perform actions in disk utility and a few other irrelevant actions.i know what file has done this and i just want to be able to get into my harddrive and delete it.i was also under the impression that if i had a copy of osx i could boot from it.this to me meant that i could use my computer normally but bypass the internal startup but maybe im wrong in assuming that.
im at my wits end and very close to bringing it into a shop where ill more than likely be charged to have them do something i feel might be a simple fix.
My macbook 2006 recently would not boot properly. By that i mean it takes about a good 5 minutes to boot to a messed up looking desktop.
Before i restore the system i need to get some files off of the machine. (The gui side freezes when i try to drag and drop).
I can boot into single use mode and use terminal but i do not know how to do the command mv /documents...etc but i don't know what drive my usb stick is or that it is mounted.
I have trouble finding my secure home network with my Mac and iPad, though my iPhone finds it. If I leave the network unsecured, I find it immediately, though when I secure it with a WPA 2, it disappears from the Airport network list.

Have a mid 2010, 13" mbp; read some posts, but can't find it under system> keyboard settings...
A few years ago I decided to put all my DVD's in storage and rip them in divx/h264 format to an external HD that I plugged into my PS3 for easy access. The problem is that when my GF and I want to watch a movie, I have to explain each movie and we choose one based on the title without access to the movie cover or any meta data. I was wondering if there was a program akin to itunes that would go through my hard drive and (with some help with me) identify each movie and find the cover art etc. I don't know how automatic this will be. I don't mind spending some time assisting the program but I don't want to go and do it by hand.
If you find a windows software I can run it on virtualbox as well.
So I got my first laptop and decided to splurge and got a mac. Now it's great, works great, took me a while to get used to the OS but love my mac now. I use it predominantly for surfing and just basic but am also doing filmmaking. My friend has a macbook pro with 4gb ram and better proccessor, and we used that for film editing, but want to make upgrade mine into one as well (filmmaking laptop). I also may want to use it for gaming (starcraft), photoshop and just a whole bunch of apps and programs. Should I upgrade the ram, get it upgraded for me (get someone to put in the ram) should I even buy ram, is there anything I can do to make a faster processor? Also, my internet is kinda slow, anything I can do to speed it up? Finally, my mac sometimes lags when there's a lot off apps open so I was thinking of upgrading it. I don't have much of a budget (probably not even a 100) so I need something cheap, but don't want shotty second hand stuff. How much can I add, and what else can I do? On another note, Ive been using firefox as my default browser and have added a whole bunch off addons, any other programs I should get for firefox OR any programs I should get for my mac?

I understand that there are countless mentions on this board about the issue, but I just want to know if there's any kind of resolution or "fix" for this.
I absolutely adore my new MBP, coming from a Penryn. The only thing I hate is the loose hinges. It's almost embarrassing when someone else is using your machine and they comment on how annoying or flimsy the lid feels.
