QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Jul 21 2010, 01:53 AM) hey guys, hot is very subjective.... pretty as in it burns your hand...?i just connected my mbp with an enternal screen. and althou i use it with the mbp display off, the body (esp the left side) still gets pretty hot. considering i am using this in a non air-conditioned room, is there any other way to resolve this? i am worried that it might get too hot that i dont even close the lid. anyone else experiencing this? fire up your activity monitor and see if there's any process(es) that's hogging up your cpu... any external bus-powered devices plugged in...? QUOTE(Jing-leBelle @ Jul 21 2010, 02:05 AM) I'm connecting with external screen too, with display off but lid opened. It's getting hot with long time usage too, but mine is average 60-70. Do you use smcFanControl? Everytime i switch the fan speed faster when it reach over 70 celcius. I trust enough that the MBP SMC does its job without smcFanControl...

QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Jul 21 2010, 07:06 PM) yeah i leave the lid open too with display off, but i wonder whether is there any other way to control the temperature of the mbp without being in an air conditioned room as i plan to get the BookArc. websites with flash... see...?hot = uncomfortable to touch, not until it burns the hand. sometimes after leaving it on for too long, visiting website with flash will cause the fan to go fast. and i thought external displays are apple hardware hence posting the query here. the link is rather mbp related issues imo.  fire up Activity Monitor, see both Safari, and the Flash plugin processes... this is what's using your CPU power... And which model of the MBP do you have...? If you're on the 2010 15" MBP, plugging into external display will trigger the GT 330M automatically, so it uses slightly more power, hence higher temp... |

QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Jul 21 2010, 07:26 PM) urm not sure how do i read the activity monitor, but if im reading it correctly, iTunes and safari are taking up alot of the cpu usage and memory. Pretty much that way...but after turning on flash (app on fb), it stats that the flash takes up 110% of cpu usage and abt 700mb or memory. is that normal? btw currently using mbp 15" early 09 version with the external. i have another mbp 15" early 10 version with the 330m. wud that be a better pair (less hot) with the monitor compared to the older version? And that's one of the reasons why Apple's trying to dump Flash in favor of HTML5... it's a resource hog.... This post has been edited by Eithanius: Jul 21 2010, 07:36 PM |

QUOTE(llsphinxll @ Jul 21 2010, 08:12 PM) guess there is no way to solve the heating prob of the mbp xcept to blow a fan directly to it. I wouldn't worry too much about it... I've been encoding videos for weeks now, each session last about 15 minutes with temps going up to 90 and fans at full blast..., and I have a table fan blowing at me instead of the MBP, which is blocked by my hi-fi speaker... considering how the heat goes out of the mbp upwards, i dont think buying a cooler wud help right?Believe me, the MBP is designed to work that way, and the processor is designed to handle temps up to 105 max... The reason you get much heat is that the MBP is made out of aluminum - a perfect heat conductor, and it's doing better on heat dissipation than plasticky laptops. |
