Are my temps normal?

I have a 21.5'' iMac from 2010 and I am a little worried about its temperatures. I think that they may be too high and
may cause damage to the machine over time.
But, as I don't know if it's really high or it's normal, I would like to ask for some help on the matter.
Here are some temps:
(By the way, they were all measured in Celsius and using a widget called iStat Pro)
->Browsing the web and with a couple apps open:
Temps:
HD: 48
CPU: 46
Ambient: 29
GPU Diode: 62
GPU Heatsink: 59
Mem Controller: 53
Optical Drive: 40
Power supply 2: 59
Fans:
Optical Drive: 998rpm
Hard Drive: 1100rpm
CPU Fan: 1199rpm
->Playing a game and no apps open (I did two measurements, that's why you will see two numbers):
HD: 49 and 51
CPU: 59 and 62
Ambient: 30 and 30
GPU Diode: 85 and 83
GPU Heatsink: 78 and 77
Mem Controller: 62 and 65
Optical Drive: 42 and 45
Power supply 2: 73 and 75
Fans:
Optical Drive: 1327rpm and 1413
Hard Drive: 1100rpm and 1099rpm
CPU Fan: 1199rpm and 1284rpm
So, are these temperatures normal?
Thank you very much,
Haecifer

Not seeing anything dangerous there, but cooler is always better, to a point. If you use smcFan, you don't want to rev up the fan motors too high and prematurely burn them out. You need to find the right balance between temps and fan rpms.
I don't know if you'll be able to get them down like this, but just for reference, here are mine from browsing only, with my fans ramped up on the "minimum" setting I use (see that linked thread for the settings.) It is the second highest setting after the defaults. I don't have a readout for GPU on mine, but a good proxy is the Northbridge. I'm running a fan at the back right now, which means I don't have to go that high for the internal fans. And the room temp is relatively cool today. Disregard the Amibient readout; it's completely out of whack.

  • Scratch Disc Full: Where are the temp files kept?

    Hi,
    I just tried to open a few of very large image files (9GB in total) and when I did I got the message "scratch discs full". Now I understand why that happened, but it seems to have eaten a whole load of disc space that wont come back. I've since closed photoshop, restarted my Mac, etc. but about 10 GB is still used up where it wasn't before. I can't locate any temp files anywhere (prefs only tells me the scratch disc is my Mac HD, not which folders it's in). Can anyone help me with this? Where are Ps temp files usually located on a Mac? I need those 10GB back!
    Mac OSX running Photoshop CS3
    Thank you!

    Hi again Chris (or anyone else who cares to contribute),
    My Mac's HD space continued to disappear and I have now, finally, located the cause (I think). I checked the system log (Stystem Profiler/Software/Logs/system.log) which was itself 4.5 GB in size (too large I think?). However, when I went to the file location (/var/log/system.log) I also noticed that the "asl" folder (in the same folder as the system log) was 20 GB in size!! Having read a few forum posts about similar issues, I took the risk of deleting both the system.log and the majority of files in the asl folder. This seems to have worked a treat (I now have 25GB returned to me).
    As I said in my original post, this all started happening when I opened a few very big Photoshop docs (ones with layers). Do you have any idea what caused / is causing this to happen? I haven't opened Photoshop since deleting the asl files, but new ones still seem to be appearing in the asl folder. They are tiny (100KB at most) but I'm a little concerned I haven't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
    I can't see why new asl files would be appearing when I haven't even opened Photoshop.
    I'm running on OS 10.5.8
    Many thanks,
    Matt
    P.S. By the way, the size of the system.log seemed to be caused by a repeated message regarding RealPlayer, which I assume is unconnected, but I have included it below just in case (I've removed RealPlayer from my Mac to see if that helps, but the asl files still seem to be appearing):

  • G505s are high apu and gpu temps normal during gaming?

    Hi, I'm new to Lenovo laptops and new to Amd processors so need a bit of help/advice regarding my G505s with 2.5ghz A10 Apu and 5750 Gpu.
    I have had this laptop about a month now and overall I'm impressed with it including its ability to play a lot of demanding games such as Battlefield 3 and even Dayz! Although the laptop runs these games on decent settings and maintaining good frame rates, it has one down side, it gets hot!
    After about 20-25 minutes playing battlefield 3 on high settings the laptop gets to hot and restarts without any notice. If I turn the game settings down to medium then it is possible to play a bit longer before the laptop restarts itself. The only way I've managed to play without the laptop restarting is by going into processor power options and changing it from 100% to 99% maximum processor state. This means the Apu clock speed is reduced and it doesn't go into turbo mode. However by doing this I am losing processing power (max clock speed reduces to around 2100mhz) and the laptop still gets very hot.
    Using various temp programmes I am getting Apu temps of around 90-94 degrees Celsius and the 2 gpu's are around 85-90 degrees Celsius. To me the fan doesn't seem powerful at all on my laptop and even when the laptop is really hot you can hardly feel any hot air being blown out of the vent. The keyboard on the left hand side and the case above the vent gets very hot to touch and makes using the laptop uncomfortable.
    Basically I just want to know does any one else that owns this laptop experience these high temps during gaming? I also get similar temps when just streaming films over netflix although not quite as high.
    I know this isn't a dedicated gaming rig so heat isn't going to be ventilated as well as it could be but these temps seem worryingly high to me and I don't want long term damage by using it running too hot.
    Hope someone can help me
    Cheers in advance

  • Is this idle CPU temp normal?

    I'm running an early 2008 2.4GHz Macbook (white). On idle, the CPU ranges between 61°C and 64°C. After a few minutes at around 80% load, i get around 86°C. Is this normal? According to this site,
    http://www.intelmactemp.com/list?vmodel=41&v_cpufreq=&v_memory=&v_hddsize=&v_hddrpm=&v_serial=&v_macosxver=&v_ambi ent_1=&v_ambient_2=&v_idleoem_1=&v_idleoem_2=&v_loadoem_1=&v_loadoem_2=&v_hddtem p_1=&v_hddtemp_2=&v_whine=&v_moo=&vpostedby=
    users are getting about 20°C lower temps on idle. Any input?

    Thanks. I gave this a shot, but i'm still getting the same temps. There's plenty of airflow around the laptop as it is on a stand which raises the back of the laptop. I also noticed, last night, that there was a faint, but audible whine that I never noticed before. Maybe I'm just being ultra paranoid now, but I like knowing that my hardware is functioning as intended. I'm fearful that the above-average idle temps are a precursor to an upcoming hardware failure.
    I also have iStat Menus installed and i'm currently getting 2500-3183rpm. I currently only have 6 apps open (safari, adium, preview, mail, photoshop, and itunes). No flash movies loaded and one 6MB PSD file open in Photoshop. Activity Monitor currently shows the highest CPU percentage at 5.8 (safari).

  • Why are my temps so high?!?!?!

    I just built my comptuer
    3200+ A64 Clawhammer CG
    I am in the BIOS and my  System Temp is 48 and CPU temp 59.
    The ratio seems correct.  I expected the CPU temp to be about 10 degree over the System temp since i am only using a Panaflo L on my SLK948U.
    But why is the overall temp so high?  THis has to be an error.
    BTW i am measuring these temps with my side panel off and my room temp is very cool.
    Help!

    so all Clawhammer CG gets weird temps?
    but i am wondering why my case temps are so high.
    Negative. I have a Clawhammer CG and my temps seem to be reported correct. 35 idle. The case (or NB) temp is normal at around 50. You'll see some threads where people are adding fans to cool it down.
    do u have it the other way around
    dont you mean 35 case temps and 50 cpu temps

  • Are this temperature normal

    Are this normal temperature for iMac? my fan is very noise, run about 3000 rpm.
    Note: iMac MD093 21.5" Late 2012

    Yes this is bit warm but according to your ambient temperature it seems to be normal. Where do you live?
    You can use Macs fan control or any software that can control fan speed and you can assign fans for different temp sensors. That will reduce unnecessary fan rpm.
    I am not suggesting to set FAN rpm as per my photo but you may try yourself.

  • Are these sounds normal?

    I recently replaced my PS4 HDD with a 2TB one. I noticed something afterwards. When I put a game disc inside (for installation of that game), the console makes a few "clicking" sounds when it starts reading the disc. After the game loads and I start playing, the clicking sounds are gone. Also, when a game is running and the console is busy reading from the disc, it makes a not too loud spinning sound, that doesn't go away until it has stopped being ''busy". Not sure whether it's the blu-ray drive or something else. It sounds like a distant motor that is turned on. Do these sounds have anything to do with the HDD, or it is normal and I shouldn't be worried? I put the HDD just as the instructions are and other than that, everything is fine. The games seem to load just a little bit slower, but it is probably my imagination. Thank you and much appreciated.

    Mine makes farting noises, it was funny at first, now it's become quite disturbing, but I've gotten used to it  Sort of sounds like this, but it's become alot more sloppy better check your your undies sounding  

  • Is there a function to send window id's to TS to use for placement of the standard panels/windows that are created during normal TS operation?

    I have asked this question previously in a different manner and have not received any useful hints. I want to manage the placement of all of the standard TS windows/panels during normal operation of TS.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Paul,
    I am assuming that you are talking about the File Dialog when you select "Open Sequence File..." from the menu.  The code for the dialog is encapsulated as a command in the Operator Interface.  If you look in the TestStand help, under Command Kinds, you can see all the coded commands that will cause the OI to respond.  The CommandKind_OpenSequenceFile command is what causes the File Dialog to popup.  When the user selects the proper file and chooses to Open the dialog, the OpenSequenceFile command triggers a DisplaySequenceFile event.  This event is handled by the Application Manager with a callback function (or VI if you are using LabVIEW).  The SequenceFile gets updated in the SequenceFileView manager.  Unfortunately, much of this code is handled internally by the Operator Interface manager controls.  The File Dialog is simply a function that gets called, and the Window handle is never really accessed by the OI developer.
    You may have a few options, however.  There may be a Windows kernel function, that accesses child Window handles.  I would search MSDN for any functions that will help access Window handles.
    The other option is to implement the File Open dialog yourself.  I believe, the File Chooser is a standard dialog popup, that you can call from most programming languages that are accessing Windows functionality.  However, you should trigger the DisplaySequenceFile event after the user selects a file.  This will cause the SequenceFileView manager to be udpated with the proper sequence file.
    I have not tried either of these implementations.
    If you have any questions, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Tyler T.

  • Newbie ? Are these settings normal for K7T Turbo2?

    Greetings All,
    First I would like to say I really enjoy this forum. I have learned much. Also I would like to say that I am fairly new at putting together systems so if my questions are basic please forgive me. Thanks for your patience and your willingness to teach. OK, here is my system and my questions:
    K7T Turbo2 v.5
    Duron 800
    2 sticks 128meg = 256
    PSU Sparkle 300w; 150w combined (according to sales slip)
    Asus 7100 Geforce 2mx 32 meg
    SB 128 pci sound card
    Western D 80gig special
    Acer 52x CD
    LiteOn 48x12x48
    Win 98se
    Most curent VIA drivers
    I think that about covers it.
    The questions:
    1) I have seen a lot of discussion about voltage seetings so I am wondering if mine are normal? They are as follows:
    Vcore = 1.55v
    5v = 5.05v
    3.3v = 3.27v
    12v = 11.60v
    2) This may need to be in the BIOS group but what are the optimum seetings for this board and my stuff?
    3) When I boot up I notice that just about all my hardware is using IRQ11. Is this normal?
    4) A while back I saw a lot discussion about ACPI. Is it best to use it or not? If you turn it off do you have to reload your OS?
    I think that about does it for now. Thanks again for your help.

    Ian,
    Not that I am very technical and do sometimes get mixed up in my own settings...
    I got a canon A1 and use the easy set up for HV 1080i50 on interlaced footage
    and 1080p25 for the '25f' footage. When using the de-interlaced filter I hit the
    upper field and I am having a major headache from time to time with sequence
    settings and field dominance in particular with interlaced footage but do experiment
    quiet abit to my even larger frustration. I do find the '24f' frames quite pleasant to
    look at - maybe it is just because it is easier to work with I dont know, but interlaced
    got a reputation of being difficult.
    Likewise as far as I am aware then the '25f' canon setting is as good as progressive
    some will even say 'same'. check out more here

  • Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 96C temp -- normal??

    I've had my MBP-retina for about 3 months and I've notices some heat problems to the point where it's really hot to touch above the top keys, in fact right now it could burn my finger if i held it there. It says the temp is 96C. The fans were not going above 2000 rpm so I downloaded an app and I boosted up the fans to 4300 rpm and now it's at 71C.  I'm not really doing anything but using google chrome and working in Adobe Illustrator.
    So,
    A)  What temperature should the fans come on at?
    B)  Is this normal? Should I be worried
    Thanks,

    So I just got back from the apple store and wow, what rude service. The guy basically shrugged when I told him "Well, I guess Im stuck with it huh?" after he told me there was no way I could get a refund. He performed a test and told me everything was fine and told me in a very arrogant manner that the test isn't showing the results I told them about as if I was lying....***? He said they can send it away for a few weeks but I don't have any other computer and I just bought this one for school so I can't afford to have it gone for that long. He told me "doesn't your school have a computer lab"? Seriously, how can someone at Apple be this rude? I told him they do but its closed at 7 and I dont live on campus. How could a computer lab replace a personal computer? He basically kept shrugging rudely anytime I tried to find a solution. He didn't even reply with a single word. When I told him I called the call center and they told me that yes it is much too hot and to take it to the store after doing a fix he just chuckled and rolled his eyes. Really?  I spent 1500 dollars on this computer to not even be able to do basic things on it without it overheating and the service is this bad? Well, looks like I won't ever be buying an apple product again even though before this experience I was a huge fan of all their products. I know one customer doesnt make a difference to them but come on...looks like I'm stuck with it and apple couldnt give one care. If having your hands uncomfortably hot after a small amount of time is acceptable then it looks like I'll never be buying another laptop from them. Its a shame I really liked it at first.

  • Are 2 Icons normal? its annoying...

    Is it normal to download an app from the app store directly to the iPod and have two icons? Its annoying sometimes when someone tells you a good app to get, you download it and get a message saying it can't download it until you connect it to a computer when the app is right there. you havetwo icons one showing the progress bar and the other the apps its self.

    Are you aware that whenever you update an app, a "downloading" icon will be visible on the last home page, and will disappear as soon as it's updated the app, which takes roughly 15-30 seconds.

  • Are these temps ok? (Core i7) (MSI Pro-E)

    Hello folks, before I started doing some light OC, I wanted to make sure that my system was stable at stock settings, without any after market cooling devices.
    My h/w specification goes like this:
    CPU - Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.67 GHz
    Motherboard - MSI Pro-E
    RAM- Corsair 6 Gb kit 1333 MHz
    Video card- Nvidia 9500 GT 1 Gb
    Hard drives- WD 500 Gb X 2
    Operating system- Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit
    PSU- Corsair VX450W
    I ran Mprime (the linux port of Prime95) for an hour without any issues. The temperatures were as follows:
    Idle: CPU: 25-26 
            IOH: 64
    Load: CPU: 84
              IOH: 77
    I know that IOH temps are high at idle, but am getting an Antec Spot Cool fan to fix that. (thanks to the informative discussions on the forums)
    However what I want to know is that at full load, isn't the CPU temp too high ? My system didn't crash, but since I am new to this subject, please let me know what you think. Also, since it has been mentioned in the forums in threads regarding the high IOH temps that a lot of after market coolers leave little room for cooling of the heatsink...which brand/model/type of an after market CPU cooler according to you folks should I go for ?
    Also, is there a possibility of slightly OCing the system, say up to 3 GHz, with the stock cooler, or should I start saving for a good CPU cooler ?

    Quote from: Aaron on 11-February-10, 12:28:13
    84 at stock?  Something wrong there.  Shouldn't even be going over the 50s.  Make sure you installed the CPU cooler correctly.  If you reinstall it and the temperatures are the same, then the chipset heatsink is making little/obscured contact and needs to be reinstalled.  A fresh blob of TIM on the chipset wouldn't hurt either.  (Doing both the CPU and chipset coolers would not hurt one bit.)
    I still don't know why MSI's IOH temperatures are still so high.  It's been months now and they still have this inconvenience/issue.
    Thanks a lot for the information. I have re-checked and the CPU cooler is installed fine, is fixed tight. I will try your other suggestions as soon as I get the thermal compounds. Sidenote- Arctic Silver Ceramique should be fine, right ?
    Quote from: HU16E
    IOH is ok, but if you feel adventurous, new TIM & adding a nylon washer between the stock washer & spring should help. The Antec Spot Cool is a great temp reducer. All my rigs run a Zalman 9900. One reason I like it on an X58 rig, is because it gives a little passive air onto the IOH similar to the stock cooler. smile
    Added: Once you get that high CPU at load figured out, you should be able to run the stock cooler up to around 3.5-3.6 with no problem.
    Thanks HU16E, your posts on the other thread (on high IOH temps) have also been useful. I will look into buying the Zalman 9900, thanks for the info.
    I hope I haven't done any damage to the CPU by running that stress test for an hour. (n00b query: why didn't my system shutdown at such high temperature ?)
