Hi Brian, GPU Diode normally runs between 60 to 70 C depending on usage. Around 30-60 C is nothing to worry about, the Core 2 Duo chips are designed to withstand over 100 C in temperature without damage
Any reading above 75 C might be cause for concern. The 'normal' temperature depends on your processor and GPU. Every processor has its own temperature ranges and operating limits. Apple says your notebook works best from 50° to 95°F. <http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html> My MacBook Pro idles at around these readings- Temp 50-52℃, CPU 52℃, GPU Diode 60℃, GPU Heatsink 52℃. Bootup Windows Vista Ultimate in Parallels 5 and these readings sky rocket ;-) Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard On 22/11/2009, at 1:23 PM, Brian Risbey wrote: > > Hot laptop? > I recently upgraded iStat nano, a widget, and it reports on internal > temperatures and fan speeds, MacBook Pro fans running at around 2000rpm and > various components reported. > > Due to hot to touch case temperatures I've placed it on a dual fan laptop > base, > > So armed with this information, how hot should cpus, gpu diodes and gpus be > allowed to get? > > > Brian Risbey > > Model Name: MacBook Pro > Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1 > Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo > Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz > Number Of Processors: 1 > Total Number Of Cores: 2 > L2 Cache: 6 MB > Memory: 4 GB > Bus Speed: 800 MHz > > > > On 22/11/2009, at 1:11 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > > > > On 22/11/2009, at 11:03 AM, Janis Lynn wrote: > >> >> >> Dear People >> >> I recently bought a optus USB wireless broadband, when I log on my Macbook >> fan immediately comes on revs around 6200 the whole time I am connected. >> Has anyone else had this problem?
