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.

Opened up my MacBook, removed fan and cooling assembly, cleaned off crappy OEM Apple thermal compound and applied Arctic Silver 5 to both CPU and northbridge, made a difference in cooling.
I loaded the CPU with memtest, used iStat nano to get readings off SMC data. |
