2011 MBP 13-inch 2.3 GHz CPU Temp Issue

Hi everyone!
I am new both to the Apple forum and the Mac. Two days ago, I purchased my very first Mac--MBP 13-inch 2.3 GHz (not customized or anything). I've been playing around with the different applications and researching on different forums about CPU temp. In a quiet room, I can hear the low buzz/hum of the computer. I thought MBPs were pretty much silent? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong.
On average, CPU temp is around 49-55 degrees Celsius with the fan running just under 2000 RPM which is fine. When I tried recording my voice through the built-in mic on GarageBand, after about 10 minutes, I heard the fan go on full blast. I checked iStat Nano, and the CPU temp was 91 degrees Celsius with the fans running from 6200 - 7000 RPM. Is this normal? I had Firefox, TweetDeck, and iChat running in the background. Should I only have GarageBand open and nothing else in order for the CPU temp to not become as hot? 91 degrees Celsius is around 195 F so that scared me, and my computer was super hot combined with a really loud fan. Should I call Apple for support?
Thank you so much for your help, everyone!

I love Firefox, its the absolute greatest browser in the world I use it myself.
However Firefox and Chrome both are HUGE memory hogs, so you have to be a bit more conservative using them with other applicaiton's open. Occassionally in Firefox you may have to close all open windows and create a new one just to flush the RAM. Because everytime you open a new tab, it asks OS X for more memory and then doesn't give it back.
Also you must remember you bought a integrated graphics computer, meaning the CPU (processor) also does the graphics. This is double duty work the CPU must do and therefore twice the heat in one location.
There is a huge thread on these forums about the overheating 13" MacBook Pro's, perhaps if your a power user or a heavy multi-tasker that your should consider returning that machine complaining about the heat and get a 2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro (or better) with the 1GB Radeon 6750M. It's a MUCH cooler machine and more powerful. I also advise the anti-glare high res screen so there are no reflections in the clasroom or at work etc.
I think you have a 14 day return window.

MBP 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, CPU temp constant 90 degrees C at high load

I have a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo MBP. Not sure which chipset, but not Santa Rosa. I'm still running 10.5.2 because I don't want to stop the process I'm running at the moment.
Anyhow, I'm running both CPUs at full load, and the program I'm running is very SSE-heavy. iStatPro reads the CPU as running at 90 degrees C with the fans running at about 3800RPM. It's been running like this for several days straight because this is the fastest compute hardware I own. I have three PC case fans pointing at the notebook, so the exterior is relatively cool, as are the other temp readings, but the CPU temp makes me nervous. Various things I've read suggest that about 85C isn't so healthy for the processor. Is that true?
I did try calling Apple Care, but they basically blew me off, suggesting I use external cooling. I could take it to the Genius bar, but that'll be a good 3 hours of my time, so I need to make sure it's worth it.
Comments?
Thanks.

See this article regarding runaway applications:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304882
and use that technique to make sure that no other heavy applications are crashing the party. There will be a number of smaller system apps and processes running; you're looking for a big hitter that you did not want.
I hear that the MBP is good for 100°C/ 212°F. I'm a little surprised that you're getting only 3800 rpm at 90°. Fans should be able to turn up to 6000 rpm. You may wish to download smcFanControl.
I use that program to increase the resting rpm from 2000 to about 2500 to give a head-start on any heat issues. At 2500, the fans are not noticeable unless I put my ear an inch from the the computer. The program also has a quick-change setting that lets you quickly bump the fan speed to the max of 6000 if things get too hot too fast.

CPU temp issues on E450

Hi Forks,
I have E450(2xCPU 400MHz, OBP 3.14) running well for many years, but a few days ago, the system has issues WANRING "CPU fans set to MAX, CPU temp is 79" and then it's shutdowned unexpectedly when CPU temp (Warning under OS) reached to 80C.However, room temp is around 20C and fans inside are fine (spining properly).Also, there is another err message "CPU1 is overheating" issued one time before the system shutdowned.
I also tried to do some test steps as physically as pull sidepanel out and see fans spining properly, touch the surface of CPU module and feel that it's very HOT (over 70C) , i supposed that CPU itself is too hot so that it was causing the system shutdowned.
Any one experienced on this issues, pls show me how to resolve issues.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply, but I still have a few question:
-Why is it necessary to attach a serial cavble to port A?
-set the server up using obp : what is obp ?
how can you while the sequence boot is stopped and you fall on the prompt "ok? <table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText">m-lennon</td></tr><tr><td class="quote"> # shutdown -y -i0 -g0 ok setenv auto-boot? false ok reset-all ok setenv diag-device disk ok setenv diag-level max ok setenv diag-switch? true ok power-off At this point power the server on by the switch and allow the system to run through extended POST >=3 times. You can also set this by using the key, but I prefer using the command line. </td></tr></table> I'm not sure to understand your last explain: Running 3 times the server through extended POST: you do this action by putting the switch key on the front panel on diag-mode and start and stop the system 3 times? Otherwise the command line to set this action is "setenv diag-switch? true " right?

2011 MBP-i7 Hot, Fans, and 110% CPU- UnSatisfied

I bought this brand new 2011 MacBook Pro in July. This is the top of the line Core i7 and it runs TERRIBLE.
I have had other Macs. My older late 2007 Macbook-core 2 duo in comparison is much faster.
This new macbook problem seems to come from excessive CPU usage. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??
Activitiy Monitor shows +100% Usage in either Finder, Dock, Kernel_Task, or Ruby. It seems to be random as to which is affected.
Usage spikes up and down. I frequently see the rainbow wheel. Finder ends up not responding, forcing me to relaunch finder.
Eventually it gets to the point where a hard reset is the only option. Safe Mode is just as problematic. Reinstall has been the only solution.
I also have noticed that dragging, minimizing, maximizing windows causes the screen to flicker random/distorted pixels occasionally.
The Battery life is at best 2hrs with the screen on and nothing running. This is NOT WORTH $2,000.
I assume this is caused by the excessive CPU usage?
I have a 2TB Time Capsule. I read the other discussions about it causing similar CPU problems. I have turned it off for the last few days.
The Problem persists. I have no longer been using the TimeMachine, because of these issues. It has been easier to back up single
documents or other files manually just so I can use them after the inebidable re-install.
I wiped everything, and done a fresh install 3 times now. It runs good for a day then the problem starts sporadically.
Until it is a persistent issue, making this Brand New Macbook unuseable.
I have called Apple's Support line. They only suggested to reset the PRam, which was no help.
This all happens with Airport On or Off. The Ram usage is not excessive.
What will solve these problems?
Is this a Hardware Problem or a Software Problem?
I'm currently on 10.7.1. This most recent update has not improved performance.

If Apple had a nearby Retail Store I would go there right away.
The nearest Apple Store for me is a 2 hour drive. Going there, spending gas, time, and money
still doesn't guarantee they will solve my problem. I'm not interested in throwing more money down the drain.
I would consider mailing it in if they pay shipping.
Why should I have to spend another $100 or even $1 to help fix there mistake?
Trying to find some online advice, or hopefully a solution.
When spending nearly $2,000 this should not be happening.
I do not make frequent calls to customer service. Only 2 calls, and 0 returns. I see apple records this info.
I never had problems with my other macbook or Apple Devices.
Apple should show more concern for my situation and provide more
assitance to me as an individual. It is not always reasonable to think someone can make it to a retail store.
They sell these online with free shipping.

2011 Mbp 13 inch memory problems

I bought the i5 13 inch Mac book pro the day they came out. Notice a few things just wanted to check if they are normal
1. Uses alot of memory
ex: Skype safari excel Open only and using 3.5 gigs of ram
Just Idle and activity manger open 1.89 gigs of ram used nothing opened
Seems weird
My ? Is how dis osx run on white mac books with only 2gigs that's why I'm concerned
2. Heating issue this things gets warm just doing normal surfing
Ex: just messing with IMovie fans kicked i'n like a. Jet
M up can have alot windows open and only use 25% of memory
3. Loud clicking noise i'n the hard drive area about 4 times
FYI i am quoting the programs when i am done

I agree however, my only problem is right after start up i am using 1.6 gigs of memory with nothing open but safari ... My HP laptop i had at least 15 tab window's of chrome open skype excel endicia( postal software) Stamps dot com software open and it was only 1.6 seems this apple system wont go below 1.6 with nothing open but one tab on safari open .. Its strange but again i am new to mac ( computer wise )
I have also experienced system slow i see the rainbow wheel a lot slow load web pages programs open very slowly ... I do not think i would have this problem with I5 thats why i bought a mac so i wouldnt get system hang up... ...Much better processor than my hp core duo.
Really do appreciate you responded to post..If you have any other suggestion i would appreciate it

2011 MBP 13" i7, 10.6.8 update, no issues

So, I bit the bullet and decided to run the 10.6.8 update on
my MBP. All went without a hitch. Reboot after install was
only somewhat longer than usual (typically what I have seen
with past OSX updates). Installed the new Parallels update,
and all is good. My Sony 19". DVI monitor works without
any problems at all.
My procedure was as follows:
1. Booted my system from my clone on a Firewire drive.
2. I used Disk Warrior to do a file scan on the internal drive
    to check for corrupt files.
3. Then used Disk Warrior to scan/repair/rebuild directories
      on the internal drive.
4. Then used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the internal
      drive.
5. Then, rebooted to the internal drive and updated my clone.
      (Wanted to make sure I had a nice clean backup, just in case)
6. Ran the 10.6.8 Combo updater.
At this point, all seems to work well. No issues with external
display, no issues plugging in peripherals.
Also, no printing issues. However, since my HP Laserjet 1022
is plugged into my Airport Extreme, not sure if it that means anything
for those who have had problems.

Next time an Apple employee tells me, "People don't post when they don't have a problem.", I'll be able to say "LIAAAAARRRR!!! LOOK HERE!!!!"

How do I deal with CPU Temp Issues?

my newly built pc just wanted to shut down b/c the temp hit 80C. I opened it up and the heatsink, cpu, fan everything is not very hot. One spot (don't know technical terms for each piece yet) is a bit warm, but mostly it is cool.
I know this is an ongoing isue with the BIOS. Is this the only way to fix? Does the most recent really fix this? This is my first built pc and it took me a few days to get everything working. I don't want to mess with the BIOS Flash already as I have never done one. Do I just ignore it as long as everything feels cool or should I update the BIOS? Just want to get a feel for what others are experiencing.
The thermaltake fan is set to auto. Perhaps I should just set it too always be on high, which sounds like a little rocket ship and drowns out the TV in my bedroom.
One last REAL STUPID question. Since the temp readings aren't accurate, what exactly is too hot to the touch? Are we talking boiling water hot, where I pull my hand back? Right now the heatsink is warm, but not so hot that I can't keep my fingers holding it.

the case is the Raidmax 668Scorpio. There is one fan at the top, two in front, two in back and one on the plastic door. I think the front back can blow air in or out.
The heatsink is the Thermaltake Venus 12. I set it to blow automatically. It was spinning about 4200rpm when the temp hit 80C. I did apply compound just on the cpu so it does not cover the heatsink fully, but only on the piece that touches the cpu.
I just turned on the pc after shutting down a few hours ago. I went right into BIOS and the CPU starts at 66C. It is cold to the touch, xso no way its 154F.
This doesn't leave me much room to go to 80C and it's not even loaded up windows yet. While I'm typing this on my Dell, I see it has just hity 69C, while just sitting on the BIOS screen.

Early 2011 MBP Slowing Down

Hello, I have an early 2011 MBP (15-inch), system report below:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh SSD
Graphics: HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Lately, my MBP has been slowing down a lot.
I tested out a bunch of flash sites, but it does not seem to be the problem. Like I said, I have 16gb of RAM (combined with what I have located above, i7, etc), and have had numerous flash sites up, but no slowdown. The problem is recent, in that I've noticed it in the past 6 months. Nothing changed in that period at all to cause this problem.
I've run this setup for a couple years without issue (SSD where the DVD player used to be, and the HDD where the old HDD was located), without issue.
My MBP gets so hot that I have to move it frequently for scare of erythema eb igne (stupid technical term, but I might not be joking, and would rather not joke around about something like that.but seriously it get that hot where your only option is to shut off the MBP. I know that might sound extreme. But my MBP gets that hot. Especially if you are running a program like Premiere. I understand the power and RAM that it takes to run a program like that, but it was shocking. This is a program (Premiere) I ran without problems previously..
Checking activity monitor (and iStat), RAM does not seem to be the issue. CPU seems fine 88-90% usage,
Usually have 7-8GB of RAM available, and the CPU usage under 90%.
I have no idea, but I will be taking a can of compressed air to the MBP.
I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas or had similar situations to help me out?
Thank You,
T

My Early 2011 MBP Has Just Started Running Extremely Hot.

Hi there. As in the title I have an early 2011 MBP, 15 inch, £1550 model. I've been playing Football Manager a lot recently, and sure it runs at around 50-60 degrees but that's fine. However now i'm just on FireFox, been on for around 30 minutes, and my battery is being sapped as if I were playing a game and i'm at 60 degrees average with SMC at 5000 RPM as well as a notebook cooler which has a fan built in. Usually I run at around 30 on the internet, 40 is fine though.
Any reasons why it is doing this? Nothing is running at over 5% in the Activity Monitor. FireFox seems to be spiking though, at like 30%. It's really annoying because I want to play Football Manager but when I put it on, it's at like 70/80 degrees. Super, super hot considering I have lots of cooling stuff. Any clues anybody, please!?

"Nothing is running at over 5% in the Activity Monitor. FireFox seems to be spiking though, at like 30%."
Do you have "All Processes" selected in Activity Monitor? If not, select it in the drop-down menu and then see whether there's something using a large percentage of your CPU.

2011 MBP i7 running slow. Hardware limitations?

I have a early 2011 MBP 15" with 2.3 GHz Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HD. I purposely put in as much RAM as possible as I usually run a lot of apps simulataneously.
I will usually have either a number of Microsoft Office (2011) programs open at once, Windows 7 64 bit running in Parallels 7 (also running a number of apps), or a combination of both. I have noticed that my computer seems to be running fairly slow, especially given the i7 processor and the RAM upgrade. When booting up windows in parallels, it can sometimes take upwards of 15 minutes to get the windows side of things to work. While windows is booting up, the mac side tends to be extremely slow, pinwheeling quite a bit. Additionally, Microsoft Outlook 2011 is almost unusable on the mac side of things (I realize this may be a result of the software). Even after shut down Windows, the mac side can still tend to run fairly slow.
750 GB HD with 100 GB partitions for Windows. WIndows HD is 70GB/100GB used.
Designated 4GB RAM for mac side/4GB for windows.
When viewing activity monitor, the processors are rarely above 50%, usually down around 10%, or less. RAM is almost always fully utilized (less than 20MB free).
My question is: do you think this is a software related issue, as it relates to windows/parrallels/microsoft programs? Or is this a hardware limited issue? Do I need more RAM? Could I possible benefit from an SSD/Hybrid drive? I use my computer for work and for personal use, so it is essential that I am able to use both Windows and Mac simultaneously.
Thanks for the help!

Also... be sure to balance your allocation of RAM between your Windows virtual machine and OS X. If you allocate too much to your virtual machine, OS X will take a significant performance hit... which would in-turn cause your virtual machine to slow to a crawl. Depending on what you're doing, you should probably not set your virtual machine to more than 4GB. The amount of RAM you allocate to the virtual machine is basically taken whether you need it or not. For example, if you allocate 6GB to your virtual machine, as soon as you launch the virtual machine, regardless of what applications you are running in it, only 2GB will be available to OS X. Making sure both OS X and your virtual machine have enough RAM allocated to them is important.
If you're RAM has been balanced in your settings for your virtual machine and your performance is still poor, you may need to go with more RAM. 8GB is generally more than enough for most people, but your usage / expectations are on the high side. Keeping in mind everything you have running... opening this applications, modifying this file, etc... you're also working your hard drive pretty hard. An SSD would make a significant difference in performance. Of course there is a premium associated with a high capacity SSD (which I would imagine you would want).

Possible fix for CPU temp problem found.

Well, one day I decided to take the heatsink off of the nForce3 chip and put some good ol' Arctic Silver thermal compound on there. I figured it might help with overclocking and whatnot. When I took it off, look what I found(!):
Imagine my surprise! Why did they even bother? Ridiculous. After removing their mistake, I put some Arctic Silver on there and re-attached the MSI heatsink (someday I'll probably buy a much better one for it). I've noticed after a couple of days (it takes a little while for the thermal compound to set in) that the CPU temp doesn't appear to fluctuate wildly anymore. Before I was getting crazy jumps from 45C to 65C, but now it hovers around 45C-47C idle and a little over 50C stressed. I've also noticed that my overclocks are a bit more stable now too. For those of you wondering, I'm using BIOS v1.1 at the moment (haven't tried v1.42 yet).
Can anyone confirm these findings? Maybe something else I did fixed my CPU temp issue (I do fiddle with the BIOS quite a bit). My guess is that the nForce3 has a part in determining/reporting the CPU temperature.
I hope this actually is a fix for some of you out there, but don't get your hopes up too high until at least one other person can confirm my theory.

It's very easy to remove the MSI plate. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers pinch the fins on the heat sink on one side together (one at the top, one at the bottom). You don't have to do it too much and be careful. This provides enough slack for the plate to drop out with some slight assistance. Well, that's how I did mine.
I then attached a 40mm fan by screwing into the gaps between the two fins. Only on the one side mind (so 2 screws in total). It holds the fan fine, no rattling.
I have some Artic Silver adhesive and I did consider leaving the MSI plate in place and fixing the fan to it. But I wasn't sure how secure it would be. Plus the plate rattles already, imagine how it would behave with a fan stuck to it.
Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of the NB temperature before I did it. And I can't for the life of me remember what it was. So I can't say, for sure, how it has effected the temperature. I'm sure it has though.
I suppose it's easy enough to disconnect the fan to find out. I might try that later...
Running at 230x10 (stock = 200x10), MBM reports:
Case = 37C
CPU = 35C
Sensor 3 = 49C
The sensors are labelled by MBM, so I am assuming they respond to the correct items, ie the CPU temp is actually the CPU temp.
This is after a hour or so with Azureus running, mIRC open, a couple of IE windows and SETI running at ~97% CPU
When I take the side off to disconnect the fan again, I will take a picture.

Cant get full HD on my LED TV using a MBP 13 inch late 2011.

Hi!
I tryed to connect my MBP to a full HD LED TV and I cant get 1080p res. In fact, I tryed differents resolution but no one seems to be the right one.
A friend connect her MBP 13 inch mid 2009 (NVIDIA GeGorce 9400M) and has no problem. Both computers were connected to the LED TV thru a HDMI-Thunderbolt cable.
Is there any app that can resolve this? Does my computer supports full HD res?? Do I have to change the Graphic video card?
PLZ HELP!

Hello yainfarbman,
Thank you for all the information you provided about the issue. If you look at the Technical Specifications of your MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP645), you can see that your computer should support the 1080p resolution:
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
If you are using mirroring, your Mac will attempt to match the closest resolution between the primary (or built-in) and secondary displays. You won't have to change any hardware on your computer, but you may need to set it up as an extended desktop for the 1080p resolution to be available. You can find the steps here to set the resolution when using the TV under the section titled "Extended desktop":
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
I hope this article helps you take advantage of the 1080p resolution of your HD LED TV.
Best,
Sheila M.

CPU Temp over 100 C with only iPhoto Open on Late 2011 MBP

Hello All,
Vital Stats: OSX 10.8.2 with 2.5Ghz Core i7 and 4GB DDR3. 7200 RPM standard HDD
What's Happening:
Since Upgrading my Late 2011 model Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and the latest releas of iPhoto, CPU temps jump to 100 deg Celsius and fan speed maxes out at 6200 RPM when iPhoto is opened.
Reference: Temperature Readings provided by the program Temperature Gauge v3.5.1
Please Note: This Macbook is done Indexing Spotlight since the upgrade and no other resource hogs are running as verified by Activity Monitor
A "PRAM" Reset has already been performed.
This "Overheating" Should not be happening - Yes I know true overheating is when the intel chip shuts off, but Underclocking/High Temps under such a minimal load is not normal to me. Please Help.

I can see that by mistake I miscategorized my question:
Moderators, please delete the question.

Which cooler pad is good for MBP 13 inch 2011?

some people said that altaz cooling pad is good. but i see that thermapak is also better. i don't know what must I choose for my MBP 13 inch.. any suggestion whcih one is better?

I personnally use the CoolMaster NotePal X2. I bought this one because of the great location of the fan and how it fitted my Mac. I use it for my MacBook Pro 15 inch and fits perfectely.
The MacBook Pro 13 inch will also fit but you'll see the borders of the fan.
Anyways, here's the link on Amazon.com (I think they can deliver in Malaysia):

Are there two different Core i7 2.0 Ghz CPU's for the 15" MBP?

I noticed on Geekbench that some people are getting Intel Core i7-2635QM @ 2.00 GHz CPU's and some are getting Intel Core i7-2620QM @ 2.00 GHz CPU's.
Same clock speed but different performance outcomes. The 2620 chip comes in around 6800-7000 in performance while 2635 gets 8800-9000 which is much closer to the i7-2720QM chip.
Intel does offer both 2620 and 2635 CPU's and I'm trying to figure out if different chips are being sent from Apple or if it is a case where some people chose the wrong CPU in Geekbench. However, wouldn't Geekbench automatically select the CPU that is is testing.
Please chime in and let me know. Below are the links to the tests.
2635QM chip, http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/search?q=2635&commit=Search
2620QM chip, http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/search?q=94245B3640C91C81+&commit=Search
I also noticed people with 64-bit software of Geekbench are getting higher scores, obviously.

You probably saw bench for the 13" Core i7 MacBook Pro that use an Intel® Core™ i7-2620M processor, which is a dual core (not quad core) core i7 @ 2.7GHz.
