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 85 degrees under load was quite a shock. Was hoping that all the issues would've been fixed by this stage in the Macbook's life, but there's mild inverter whine and quite audible cpu whine (fixed using mirror widget trick at the mo) as well as high temps.
Getting it fixed or a getting a replacement is proving a fruitless exercise (bought from Apple dealer through Edu instituion - Apple dealer isn't much use.)
No mooing though. |
