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.

The idle temperature really is hard to test. If you let it sleep for a while and measure the temp after 10 minutes of idlinng, it might be well under 50 degrees.
However, if you run the machine at 100% load and then measure the temp after 10 minutes idling, it might be well over 60 degrees.
My load temp ranges from about 81-88 degrees once the fan kicks in, with it at around 85 most of the time. It should be noted that the maximum acceptable operating temperature is 100 degrees, so I'm not concerned. |
