Hello all RMBP users, can I know what is the CPU temperate at ideal use? I feel my macbook pro overheats easily. The HWM keeps alerting on CPU core reaching extreme temperature (72 - 80). Can feel the palm rest area hot. My only option is to bump the fan (with smcfan) to 6500rpm for me to use comfortable for a long time.
Any opinion? Do I need to replace the thermal paste inside? It's 2012 Year end model. |

My only option is to bump the fan (with smcfan) to 6500rpm for me to use comfortable for a long time. ^ Any opinion? Do I need to replace the thermal paste inside? It's 2012 Year end model. Mine (13" late-2013 rmbp) runs at around 46~56C at ideal normal use. as ionstorm said, maybe dust accumulating inside the body/fan. Or there could be many other reasons leh... e.g - browser (Chrome makes my mbp hot easily, but Safari stays cool throughout), - flash (flash plugin overheats mine easily, so maybe can change youtube videos to html5 video) - boosting default min fan speed (imo the default fan speed (13" default is 1300rpm iirc) is a bit slow, which makes it heat up easily, and I run 2000rpm as default) - discrete gpu? (is yours a 15"? maybe can turn off the discrete gpu if not using discrete graphics, using gfxCardStatus), etc etc |

I will try to switch to Safari browser and see if there's improvement.

My mac is a 13" model so it doesn't have discrete graphics. |
