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).

Is 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.

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?!!
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.

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.
My hard drive temp is averaging around 50˚ (Celsius) isn't that just a little hot?

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.
what are your temps when on bootcamp windows? mine hits 59-60C. so im wondering if it is normal.
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 have an opportunity to get a Late 2009 27" i7 (2.8 Ghz) for $1699. I've been looking at the $1999 i5 (also 2.8 Ghz). I know it has a 1Gb Video Card, compared to the 512 MB one on the 2009 i7.
My basic question is, is the i7 worth the lesser video card and cheaper price, compared to the i5 with a stronger video card?
I do a lot of work in Photoshop and iMovie, as well as Illustrator and inDesign. I also will be playing TF2 heavily, and heard that the i7 was great for video and gaming. I'm in the market for an iMac since my Late 2006 Macbook Pro is on the verge of death.
I have a 9CD6 27" iMac and I was wondering if anyone had used a professional calibration device to produce a more accurate .icc profile.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

are these temps okay? or is htemachine over heating for the activities i am doing, usually i amjust msning, and watching tv series.
I have a question about the iMac core i7 between both year (2009 and 2010) for 2009 is 2.80GHz Core i7 with 1066 Ram. for 2010 is 2.93GHz Core i7 with 1333 Ram. Is the 2010 faster than 2009 a lot?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI very recently purchased a refurb late 2009 27 inch i7 iMac. It is more computer than I currently need. I do have one concern that SSD is supposedly much faster than a conventional hard drive and although a solid state drive is now pretty pricey, they will come down in price and I suspect become more mainstream over the next couple of years.
Does it make any sense to consider swapping my computer for a late 2010 i7 refurb (+ $200) so that I have an upgrade path to SSD in the future?
How does StarCraft 2 perform on the current lineup of the iMac? I'm most interested in the 21.5" model, as I cannot afford the 27" version. Specifically, I'd like to know what resolution and settings the 4670 and 5670 models can handle...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI searched the forums but can't seem to find a definitive answer in regards to having a loose hinge on the i7.
I picked mine up yesterday and it seems a little too lose for my liking. It stays in place when it is not touched, but if you push with one finger on the bottom it will switch quite easily.
Is this how they make the hinges now or is mine too loose and should be exhanged? I don't seem to have any problems with dead pixels/yellow screen/noise and would hate to exchange it.
I ha e 2x2gb of 1066 ddr3 ram sitting here. I am going to buy an iMac. I can't decide between the refurb 27 core2duo, the refurb 27 core i5 or the new 21.5" i3. Of course I am torn between cost and performance. I would prefer the bigger display but it's not necessary. If I could use my existing ram in the new 21.5 that may put it as the winner but I am unsure if I can mix 1066 and 1333 ram or not. If not then I will probably get the refurb 27 and then it's just to decide between i5 or core2duo

I have a 2010 iMac that won't start when I press the power button. No chime, no fan running, nothing. I tried unplugging it and plugging it into a different power source which made no difference. I made sure the power cord connections are good. We recently had an 8 hour power outage at my house and this is the first time I tried to power the iMac up since the power outage (it was working fine prior to the power outage). Of note, my husband's iMac started up fine after the power outage.

I 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.
Has anyone tried using their mid-2010 imac with hdmi and can confirm if audio (out) works? All the adapters seem to claim audio support with the refresh macbooks but do not mention iMAC. On the Apple store they sell a moshi adapter that lists iMAC support but specifies early-2010 models. Is apple deliberately crippling the new iMACs to *not* allow audio over displayport>HDMI or what is the real story? Some older support threads seem to talk about it working on their 2009 imacs until they upgraded to os 10.6.4. I have tried a few generic cables/adapters but they don't seem to talk audio to my receiver. Anyone had better success?
