I updated the SMC Firmware yesterday, just got back to KL today (was at Genting, dont really notice heat on Macbook up there), usually back in KL the CPU temps are high, 50-60 while browsing outside, but today its just around 30-35. Not sure if its because of the update, but looking good..

mine is still at 50-60..........in aircond room.....

actually i got mini-DVI to DVI cos i like the idea of output it to my Dell 2007WFP. and i prefer DVI over VGA.

furthermore i thought my DVI - VGA converter can use on it.

anyway, since DVI-VGA converter is cheap only - i actually plan to break those pins that are blocking the way. hehe. or at least, find a DVI-VGA converter that doesn't come with that.

i also liked the idea of outouting it to my Dell 2405FWP...

i was thinking about the same also.......break the other pins so that it'll fit...but not sure if it'll work or not.......u trying it? whistling.gif notworthy.gif

tried.

1. the pins are hard to bend, let alone break.

2. even if the pins were broken, that wide & flat connection point there is too wide for the mini-DVI - DVI converter.

EDITED : please refer to attached image.
unless i have a spare, i can't give you yet. tongue.gif

DVI-VGA is helpful, especially when want to output to VGA monitors. new VGA cards nowadays come with DVI only.
