IMac :: Using Fan Temperatures?

May 25, 2009

this is my first iMac, so Ive this questions;

In these days it's very hot here, 32� (90F) and over, and my room is exposed at sunlight all the afternoon, and its not very big.

I hold the window closed, but its always hot in the house, 26� (79F) or more.

IMac :: Finding Highest Fan-speed And Temperatures?

Sep 1, 2010

I just bought a iMac 27" i5 version with the 2-TB Hitachi HDD.

Under browsing:

Fan-speeds:
ODD: 998 rpm
HDD: Always 1100 or above
CPU: 939

Temperatures:
ODD: 46C
HDD: 57C
CPU: 43C

The only thing what bothering me is the loud HDD fan. Really annoying.

So, what for iMac have you and what are the fan-speeds and temperatures of your iMac? And of-course how did you solve these high fan-speeds? (If you did)

MacBook Pro :: CPU Load And Temperatures?

Jun 6, 2012

My 2009 13" Unibody MBP will overheat if I so much as look at it, or so it seems!. The issue here is that the fan will come on really loudly and the bottom of the machine will become unbearably hot under the following conditions: 

1. CPU load = 20%, temp = 76 C, browsing the web

2. CPU load = 33%, temp = 77 C, watching an online video

3. CPU load = 35%, temp = 82 C, watching a movie on lovefilm

3. The lid of the laptop is closed, and I am carrying it in a bag

4. I am charging it with the lid closed.

5. Using an external monitor I have to keep the lid open and on battery use, otherwise it overheats and the fan come on loudly. Obviously if I shut it down there is no fan noise, however it still gets hot when charging.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Mac Pro :: 8 Core CPU Temperatures Extremely Cool?

Feb 23, 2010

I have an octo 2.8 which I use at 3.2 overclocked, and I have been running handbrake for 20 hours straight, utilizing all 8 cores. So the machine has been working full capacity for 20 hours, and I check CPU temperatures with Hardware Monitor, and they are 55 degrees. These CPU's are ok up to 100 degrees or so. So how can they stay that cool even at full load? I wish I could overclock them even further but RAM's can't be overclocked further so I need to stop at 3.2 Ghz.

Jun 11, 2010

I've recently uninstalled Fan Control and smcFanControl from my Macbook Pro, after trying them for a minute or two. I reset my SMC by using the method on Apples website (Clicking Shift-CTRL-Option-Power Button at the same time). It haven't worked it seem, as I have tried running some games and even at 85-90C degree, its not increasing its RPM. I don't wanna go any higher as I don't wanna risk the CPU overheating.

So apparently every time I restart, iStat pops up annoyingly and tells me its now a paid program, and I don't want to pay for it. Are there any alternatives to see my CPU speeds and temperatures, also my memory usage in the top bar? I want something that I can always see.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: CPU Operating Temperatures Related To HDD Health?

Apr 22, 2012

I just had the original HD on my iMac fail suddenly.  Apple was great in getting me a replacement quickly.  My question concerns the normal operating temperature for the iMac's CPU before versus after the replacement of the HD.I use smcFanControl just to monitor the CPU temps.  During the two years I used the original HD, the CPU temp never exceeded 140F.  Within two days of running the replacement HD, the temp has been up to 152F several times.

I have great faith in the engineering that Apple put into the iMac, but on the other hand, I did just have the original HD die on me.  Recognizing that this could have happened for a myriad of reasons unconnected to CPU temps, I nevertheless wonder about the correlation between HD health and CPU temp.

Mac Pro :: Why Is Northbridge Chip Running At Dangerously High Temperatures

Jun 21, 2012

I noticed my computer was getting hot to the touch, and warming my computer room significantly.. So I checked my temperatures for the system and noticed everything seemed normal except for the Northbridge Chip (127 C) and Northbridge Heat Sink (62 C). I am running no applications, CPUs are basically idle.  

I am concerned that this temp is WAY higher than it should be, using Google, I found that many users were concerned that 80 C was too hot for the northbridge when the 2009 Mac Pros came out. What should my course of action be? 

Is there a hardware button to reset everything back to factory without reinstalling Mac OS X?

IMac :: Debating Between IMac And MBP... Leaning Towards IMac?

Aug 15, 2010

I hope you don't mind helping a guy out in his choice in what he truly needs... so I guess I'll get down to the basics.

First off, music is my main priority when it comes to computing, I write all sorts of electronic music, I'm used to working in Windows under Ableton or FL Studio, so I'm not hip to the Mac software for these functions.

In addition to the electronic music I write, I'm also very much into music instruments, I've been playing drums for around 8 years now, bass for 5 years, guitar even... so I plan on multi-track recording... up to 16, maybe even 32?I do plan on opening up my own home studio, I would be using this PC, (not sure if the MBP or the iMac)

I'm also a lightweight gamer, playing games such as Team Fortress 2, World of Warcraft, or StarCraft II (Diablo 3 will probably be my biggest gaming vice when it comes out) sparingly in my free time, which would be better for this sort of light gaming?I sometimes spend up to 8 hours on the computer, also, so if these screens are too harsh on the eyes after extended periods of time, I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me to that.

SO, with all that said, which do you guys think would suit me better? (and I'm really thinking the iMac would)... I used to want portability, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable taking a $2,000 laptop with me around campus at the local community college.

- Needs to be able to record up to 32 tracks of audio
- Needs to be able to render high quality tracks
- Minimal latency
- Able to run some of the less graphic intensive games out now
- Easy on the eyes for extended periods of time


Oh, I'm also an amateur filmmaker, I love filming, editing, and producing, etc.Would you guys suggest the i5? i7? Oh, and what clock speed does the 2.93GHz i7 run at when in turbo-boost using all cores?Oh, and what's the resale value of the iMac compared to the MBP? I heard the MBP retain pretty well, is the same true of iMac's?

IMac :: Itunes And Safari Running, Enable The Visualizer Imac Is Noticeably Slower?

Dec 31, 2010

System Spec: Late 09 21" 3.06, GeForce 9400, 4gb ramCurrently I have itunes and safari running, if i enable the visualizer my imac is noticeably slower, especially when browsing the internet.I thought it might be the fact I was running a second 1080p display from the 9400 would have caused the slow down. But the same thing occurred after i disconnected it. After repairing permissions and restarting, pmram etc.Is the 9400 causing the slowdown? I know its fairly old but itunes visualizer and safari should be quite basic tasks. Its not the end of the world i know but does the 27" imac have similar issues as i plan to upgrade my machine in 2011.

IMac :: Slow Wireless N Site Lookup For New IMac And Linksys WRT610N Router?

Aug 12, 2008

I had a DLink DIR-655 Wireless N router and my wireless was running very fast, 9.7MB using [URL] with no lag looking up sites. I had to upgrade the router since I was hosting a site and the router wasn't working properly for that.

So, I bought a Linksys WRT610N Dual Band router. I have the iMac running on the 5GHz band and it runs around the same speed.

HOWEVER, when I open Safari or Firefox, in the status bar, it says "looking up google.ca..." or whatever site I'm browsing for and can take up to 5-10 seconds before it starts to display the site. When it is on the site, browsing around is fast as long as it doesn't change domains.

ANOTHER HITCH, I have VMWare's Fusion installed on the iMac and Vista installed there and there is no lag to browsing a site. When I type in the site, it immediately goes to the site and I am able to browse fine.
Any thoughts on this?

IMac :: Windows Aero Not Working In Boot Camp-2009 IMac GT120

Mar 28, 2009

I think it worked at one point, but sometime around the point when I set up Fusion with the partition, Windows Aero turned off and is no longer an option in the display settings. I installed this driver with the modded INF to see if it would do anything, but Aero is still not an option. I also have issues playing some games in Fusion, while they work fine in Boot Camp.

IMac :: Yellow IMac Display/Apple Executive Care No Solution Not Fixed?

Dec 29, 2009

I sent an email to Steve Jobs about my yellow tint 21.5 iMac issues (three exchanges, all affected, resulting in a refund). I got a call from Dena at Executive Care within 24 hours.

She said they are aware of the problem and do not know how widespread it is. According to Dena, the issue is not resolved and that ordering a new iMac will not result in a fixed display.

She said the engineers are working on it now and they are not sure if it's hardware (most likely) or software related. Further Apple stores cannot do repairs because they haven't determined what the issue is.

IMac :: Help! IMac 21.5" (Late 2009) Showing Slight Yellowish Tint!

Jul 24, 2010

Hey guys! So just a few days ago, I received my iMac, and boy do I love it. A definite upgrade and improvement from my old Acer Aspire 3680.

But despite this, I have noticed that my iMac does have a slight yellowish tint at the bottom to corners. I just arrived at my desk, and the login window (I keep a password lock) had a slight yellowish tint when I woke up my iMac from sleep . I then noticed that the bottom two corners had a slight yellow tint to them. I verified this via the MacRumors Forum post, and I was able to find it out by making my desktop background white. Again, it may not seem noticeable at first, but if you examine it closely, it becomes apparent.

I've already called my local Apple store and one of them said that don't know about this issue (?) and that they could schedule an appointment for me. I declined because I have to have me parents take me and I'm pretty sure that I can't handle the load of carrying a 20lbs. computer w/o dropping it (yikes!).

So here's the big question, should I go to my local Apple store or call the Apple hotline when it's open (currently closed at the time of this thread)? I don't want to sound like a lunatic or someone that just wants to get a better iMac for free. Again, it's slight, but considering that I do movie editing and Photoshop work

IMac :: Imac 27" Brief Mechanical Ejection Sound From Dvd Drive When Booting Up

Dec 2, 2009

Had a quick question. I'm on my third 27" stock 3.06Ghz imac that was replaced yesterday. The good news is that so far it doesn't seem to have any of the problems of my previous two 27" imac's. There is one thing though. A couple of seconds after pressing the power button to bootup there is a brief mechanical sound from the dvd drive like a quick ejecting sound even though there is no cd in the drive. My first 27" imac dvd drive made the sound but the second imac 27" Imac I had didn't. Is this sound normal? Would be curious to know why two out of the three 27" Imac's I had make that noise.
