Mac Cpu

wess · 05-15-2008, 02:46 AM

I own a MacBook Pro and was wondering if my laptop was running at to high of a temp. I saw another thread like this, but my laptop runs at a higher temp 4 some reason. When running frostwire or the iTunes visualizer, my laptop gets up to around 175˚ F. I think this might be too high for a 2.16 Ghz C2D. I may have 2 fans in this laptop, but still, 175˚F?

Also what is it in Celcius and maybe post a pic of what it says. What software are you using to monitor it?

If you have an XP partition try checking the temps under that.

I think you two are one of the same, or are friends. You both only have one post, both joined in May, and both have cars as your avatar.

Yeah we are best friends. I used iStat Pro and seems to be fairly correct for what i have seen on other temp readings. I'll try to get a pic up for all who asked.

This is iStat Pro showing my CPU getting up to 173˚F while running Youtube in Firefox and the iTunes visualizer.

whoah. thats wrong. core 2 duo's throttle themselves at 75C which would make your computer freeze, essentially.

75C = 167F

While it's still extremely hot, I think you are getting C and F mixed up, since rarely does anyone use Fahrenheit when talking about PC temps.
