Hi all, my MB temperature is on average 60 degree C and at one point during burning 80. Wat's the heat on your MB's

wah, how come will 80? quite serious leh..
my mbp temperature is on average 52 something..

Whoah...that really is toasty....

Mine really doesnt average more than 33 to 34 degrees....I start to "freak" out a lil as soon as it gets to 35 - 36 and turn off my MB.

where is the 'fan' for macbook?
cant find it..

mine was around 50-60 as i'm using wifi everytime....
without wifi, it would be around 40-55 sometimes..

it goes to 80 something when i'm playing sims2 n frozen throne..

its quite normal to have this heat i think.. u even can cook egg..

Mine is always around the 60 region. I've reached 80 before, by accessing some flash based site that crapped out on me...

30-34 degrees?! I've never even seen mine go below the 38 mark!!

Is there any external notebook fan for it?

tat does work for macbook... no sure bout mbp

as there arent any vent holes for heat to dispend under the mb...
cooler pad wont work in this case... i once borrow my fren's cooler master cooling pad...
the temp r still as usual...

but there will be obvious temp drop if u r in a aircon room...

I have a cooler master but it does not help the cooling at all. The bottom enclosure is always at 32 but the cpu is 60 on normal emailing and surfing. The heat does disipate from the keyboard in which this case i have a keyboard protector but removing it only helps 1-2 degree so i better send it to Apple to have a look

Awwww...good.

Get some information for us too! I'm going to get a MacBook soon.

put a book or sth under yr MB to elevate it , so that you can hv better airflow for the MB . esp in hot weathers like in Malaysia , putting it on a flat surface definitely will coz the temp to shoot up. So either u go get a stand for it , or use it in an aricond room if you dun want yr MB to shoot up to 80 degrees.

mine is about 45-55..

i always use a pillow, yes a pillow, under my macbook....in fact, i seldom use it on a proper table...either a pillow or my bed..heheh.....

my temp is always at about 60 degrees...with the enclosure bottom at about 30-35 degrees.....

dunno y it runs this cool even with blockages under my macbook....hehe

@lokgotz,
Putting a pillow underneath your MB?! Just can't wait to get your hands on the latest MBs huh?! *g* Good way to give urself a reason to get a new one *g*

Am sure your MB's serving you more than well at this point in time so sayang it a bit lah

lol. my friend . salute. Apple even say Do Not Place your macbook on a pillow or cushion.

haha..but the temperature is always at normal....no overheating and stuff...and it's too hot to put in on my lap, even with jeans on.....

i'll *try* to use it on a table....hehe.....

did they say that??

must have missed it....

@lokgotz,
It's not advisable to put ur notebook (whether it's a Mac or PC) on a pillow or cushion cause it blocks the air flow - u should know about it... no? *g* But anyhow, admittedly, I do rest my MBP on a pillow when I use it on the bed but it's more often than not left lying on the desk

@rhesusv,
He's just finding creative ways to either claim a brand new one, or buy a brand new one

Mine is usually ard 52 - 55 C at normal room temperature without aircond.

yeah....i know that...but the bed is too tempting!!!!
and i dont see any air vents at the bottom of the MB...and temperature is running fine...

anyway guys, DO NOT DO WHAT I DO....I'M INSANE!!!hehehehe....

*gets off bed and start typing on table*

@lokgotz,
Are u running any fan cooler program? I think it's pretty good the fact that the temperature of your MB is normal even when u use it in bed... Go ahead and do what u always do - just be comfortable and i always believe... just don't do the extreme and u'll be fine

Ok.. we're going way off TOPIC here!! *grins* Anyways, if my MBP ever ran up to 80 degrees celcius I probably will freak!!!!! It might have, I just don't have my eyes looking at the temperature 24/7 !!! kEKekekkeke

And, having said that... it's running at 44.8 right now

i have smcfancontrol installed.....but i only run it when i am photoshoping and stuff...i dont normally run it...

@lokgotz,
Ok.. I have some fan control too but I don't know what - kEKekke Just got the shop to install it and so as long as it works I don't care what it is.. And, uh... don't need to even bother asking me when it's switched on and off - i assume it's automatic !! hAHahAHhahAHhaHA... BUT please let me know if i'm wrong! LoL

u r not wrong..the fan controller on ur mac runs automatically....if it gets too hot, the fan spins faster....

if u launch the app, u can control how fast u want the fan to spin.....something like that.....

@lokgotz,
I don't bother running the application since the shop set it for me so i leave it in its set 'default' mode. The very few times I run this application is to just check the current temperature - *grins*.... which reminds me... wanna check that against iStatpro's information for consistency

Will update all if it's entirely out of scale

My Macbook going heat only when I use both Adobe softwares. I think it depend on the softwares too, if the software use a lot of the resources, the fan will start spinning faster and louder... My macbook went up to 80 degree c before too...

I have iStat and CoreDuoTemp both showing the same temperature reading

when you guys talk about MACBOOK, you must identify whether it's the Core2Duo version or the Core Duo version.

AFAIK the heat levels produced by them are different.

@lokgotz,

hahaha ya. they did put that in their manual. anyway , i only really feel the heat from the MB when i 'm in a non-aricond where the room temp is about 29-30 degree Cel .
Besides that , when i m in the aircond room the temp of my MB seldom goes more than 60 .

Macbook 1.83Ghz C2D

Average operating temp = 60
Highest temp = 80

Wifi on, Bluetooth on, some web surfing and IM

lokgotz,

what do you mean smcfancontrol? what's that? ><

By the way, when you do photoshop, what's the highest temperature it shoot?

When you say photoshop, is it Adobe photoshop? or Apple Aperture? or iPhoto?

Sorry, i'm kind of interested, dont mind answering my questions? (paiseh)

download the smcFanControl here. It's a small app that enables you to control how fast you want ur MB/MBP to spin, the faster it spins, the cooler your mac gets because it exhausts the hot air from your mac...your mac's fan will spin faster when it detects hot temperature....but with smcfancontrol, you could control how fast u want your fan to spin...heheh

Photoshop i meant was Adobe photoshop, illustrator and stuff and sometimes when i run processing intensive apps....i dont know bout u guys but whenever i am streaming from youtube(2-3 videos) my macbook runs hotter and the fan spins faster...

i hope i answered your questions...let me know if u dont understand...heheh

y u guys din talk about ibook g4???
hehehe....my ibook usually will get heat when i turn abt half n hour....
but i'm not sure about the degree Celsius...
any solution???

btw,how to check the degree celsius in the system???

mine usually average 52-60 C

if i'm using Toast 8 ...the heat will increase until 80..like baby26

Urm, dude. Once in school I was playing Halo Demo on Mac OS X. Temperature was 60C. When my Dad picked me up from school. I just closed the screen (sleep mode). When I opened it in the car (2 minutes later) Temperature was 98C. I can show you screen shot (SS). I used Core Duo Temp to monitor my temperature.

bottomline = use air-cond if you have more money ...and also , good air-flowing

mine is around 50 - 60 .
it runs faster with parallels desktop or opening a lot of tap under firefox.
mine macbook got the click click click sound after 30 seconds to 1 minutes like that . is it consider ok ?

i am not too sure what, may b is hard disc spin eh

lol resting a MB on a pillow? never tried that..but whenever I get my hands on a school MB I usually have it at around 60. I prefer PC, no doubt.

for my Macbook 1.83Ghz C2D

currently 63 with wifi and adobe running and it's hot!

can't imagine 80

just get one of these from ikea.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10027589

beats resting them on your lap or on the bed.

i must confess that i dunno how to check the temperature of the laptop. if it feels uncomfortably warm, it probably is.

buy iLap ...end of story

iLap = Rm300 plus

kevler,

Do you own an iLap? If you do, how much difference in temperature drop does it make? thanks

i never buy that thing ...but i have made experiment where if there's good air-flowing beneath the laptop , the heat will reduce by itself.

so iLap is one of the solution to fade the heat away from Macbook/Pro

mine's c2d

average = 60 C
max = 84 C

here's a screenshot for the 84C...

I have one of these but it's not comfortable where it's hard that you have to adjust your body to it's height and strains my back

dont you think it abit too hot?
average 60 and max is 84, almost boiling T_T

er...
my c2d 2.0Ghz macbook is almost the same...
i got my wifi on 24/7, n transmission then got tat temp...
80+ when i'm playing dota in mac...

it goes somewhere around 55 if i din turn on my wifi.

i'm getting used of it thou... the heat din affect my hand... the palm rest is juz normal...

mine too... 80+ when running on real player, microsoft powerpoint etc. (already got smcfan control but for me it make not much different) i think it is normal for mb n mbp.

i think real player is ur source of high temp...
whenever i watch a .rm movie... it always boast the temp till 80+ de...

so now i tried not to view in full screen...

Mine with Wifi and Abode Photoshop + Itunes is only at 76C atm.

i just start my MB n its above 30C ady, is it a problem??

ok guys, i'm not sure will this help u. but i'm using cooler (cooler master make with full aluminum and with 3 fans for my mbp) seems not getting a hot temp. but i think i will get iLap because i feel that iLap got a better air flow and it didn't use USB port. my cooler use one USB port to power the 3 fans.
