This site will help collect and show the temperatures of Apple Macintosh computers using the new processors by Intel. All new computers that haven't faced the trail of time
will have problems and issues that can make users mad and furious. As with the new MacBook Pro machines where were, and still are, problems with heat dissipation. After scouting
forums and help sites for information about what temperatures I can expect on a new MacBook, but that turned out to be harder and more scattered than I first imagined. That's the main
motive behind this site and it didn't take too long to setup as I had the base code handy from another site.

Two kernel panics in as many days - very unMaclike!
After reapplying the thermal paste, the measured temperatures appeared to be about the same after adjusting for a warmer room; however, the case is now radically cooler. In fact, with the sensor reading 79 degrees, the bar above the function keys and the bottom of the laptop just feels a bit hot, whereas before they were painfully hot during this test. |
