Core Duo Temp Question

I just got my replacement macbook from apple and so far it's working great.
Something odd I noticed is that with any temperature monitor program I use (core duo temp is one of them) the temperature seems to be locked at whatever it was at startup. It doesn't change even while running yes in two terminals. The fans to eventually turn on but for instance, I've been maxing out the cpus for about 10 minutes now and the fans are going full blast but my temp monitor is stuck at 32C.
It a week 31 White 2.0 macbook. I wonder if something changed in the temp. interface on a new ones or something is just not working.
Could someone with a week 31 or higher report back what your temperature monitors are doing.

How does the physical temperature feel on your MacBook case bottom to the touch and do your fans come on noticibly (audibly) when using the MacBook for more than an hour?
Perhaps the sensors changed on the latest models or some had the sensors forgotten to be plugged in. I hope an 'in production' logic board/CPU design revision didn't overlook the sensor design somehow. Apple would never reveal publicly an in production revision; only a part number change would show up a supercedure.
Perhaps many more week 30 and later owners will report in here or on the MacIntelTemp site. (I don't recall the URL)

Core Duo Temp program

I have read about a program that tracks the temp of the processor in this forum. Where can a person download it?

Two possibilities:
Core Duo Temp

Core Duo Temp Frequencies?

Ok what is the deal with the frequency thing in Core Duo Temp? it says like Minimum 1000 Mhz and Maximum is like 2000 mhz is it bad that mine is running at 2000?

These mobile processors use stepping technology to save battery. That just means that when you don't need as much processing power, it lowers the frequency to save battery power. You'll notice that if you open a program that uses a lot of processor (try a flash app, which still runs under rosetta) and the processor will pop back up to 2ghz.
It's nothing to worry about.

Low Core Duo Temp Readings

When i run core duo temp, and have my processors about 80% loaded playing 1080p videos my core duo temp reads about 27C. I know this cant be right? Is anyone else experiencing these super false readings??

how would you reinstall?
I tried and it said it was already installed...

Core duo temp reads 74 degress Celsuis

thats like 150 fahrenheit
not normal right

coreduo reported much higher temps than temperature monitor. i recently installed that and my idle temp has 'gone' from 65C to 55C or so......
also, coreduo would screw up on occasion, giving me the "retrieving information" message and not actually getting anywhere.
i feel that TemperatureMonitor is a much better program, for it's stability, also the feature of viewing seperate core temps, also HD temps

Core Duo Temp guage in Windows XP?

Hi all!
I finally pruchased the MacBook today and I install bootcamp and Windows XP. I was wondering what tool y'all use to guage the temp in XP?

Try RMClock or CPU-Z

Core duo temp...

ok i downloaded it for the first time and i noticed the temp was 58 degrees. so i was like wow thats not bad...then i saw the C. celcius. so i changed it to farenheit (obvioulsy the metrics we use in the USA) and its 136.4 degrees. isnt that really hot? why does everyone go by C? does the lower # make everyone feel better? im confused.

Steven, the Centigrade temperature scale is used in much of the world instead of the Fahrenheit scale commonly used in the U.S.
But even in the U.S. the Centigrade scale is used in science and engineering.
Every computer chip has operating temperature specifications, a range of temperatures within which it will operate properly and meet specifications for its operating lifetime. The Intel CoreDuo used in the MacBook Pro is specified to operate safely at temperatures up to 100 C (212 F).
Your computer has sensor circuitry and associated software that keeps the CPUs from exceeding the maximum safe temperature.
Don't be put off by the "boiling water" temperature. Doesn't really mean anything. Your home heating furnace likely operates with a really hot gas or oil flame. But no matter how hard it might try, your furnace can't heat your house to such a temperature (unless it sets your house on fire).
Your CPUs cannot heat the computer's case to 100 C; the case may feel very warm but you cannot receive a burn by touching it for a moment. I use an aluminum tilt stand whether my computer is on my desk or in my lap, and am perfectly comfortable. Yes, I can use the MBP as a laptop and in a way that follows Apple's guidance on page 107 of the user guide.
My MBP doesn't have a heat problem. It operates very conservatively inside the temperature specifications. The portions of the computer that I need to touch to operate it -- the keyboard, trackpad and rest areas left and right of the trackpad -- stay comfortable for me to work on it all day (and I do work long hours every day). That's also true of my hard drive. It stays comfortably inside its design specifications for temperature.
My MBP doesn't need the "grease fix" as it operates very well as designed by Apple. I can easily generate temperature graphs that compare with those posted for computers that have had thermal grease reapplied, displaying temperatures lower than some of those. I feel no need to void my warranty by disputing the design and manufacturing specifications certified by Apple's engineers.

Question: I want to update to the new LION OSX, but it says that I need to at least have an Intel Core 2 Duo. When I click "about this Mac," it says that I have a 2.16 Intel Core Duo. Is there a difference between the "Core 2 Duo" and the "Core Duo"?

Well, my title basically asks the question that I am seeking an answer for. Im not sure what year my MB Pro is, and I cant exactly find it on the Apple site. Its a 2.16 Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. All I see (dating back to 2007,) is Intel Core 2 Duo on the apple site. Im pretty sure (but not 100% positive,) that my MB Pro is a late 2008/early 2009. Just trying to figure out if I can install LION OSX or not, since it requires atleast intel core 2 duo, and mine says I only have the intel core duo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Core Duo is 32 bit processor and Core 2 Duo is 64 bit processor
OS X Lion, will only on 64 bit Intel processor Mac's.
The following Mac's that have 32 bit Intel “Yonah” processorsthat won't run OS X Lion.
iMac 4,1 Early (Jan-Sept) 2006 17"
iMac 4,1 Early (Jan-Sept) 2006 20"
iMac 4,2 Mid (July-Sept) 2006 17"
Mac Mini 1,1 (Feb-Sept) Early 2006
Mac Mini 1,1 (Sept-Aug) Late 2006
MacBook 1,1 13" (May-Nov 2006)

MacBook Pro 1,2 17" A1151 (Aprl-Oct 2006)
MacBook Pro 1,1 15" A1175 (May-Oct 2006)
There is a difference between “Intel Core Duo” and “IntelCore 2 Duo” processors.

2.0Ghz Core Duo MBP: Is it Leapord Ready? And one more question too.

Well, just as I said in the subject, I've got a year old MBP, and was really curious as to whether it can weather (pun intended?) Leopard. And what about 64-bit applications?
My other question is that I was once told that inorder to get the full functionality of the Core Duo processor, you had to have matching sticks of RAM installed, ie 2x512mb or 2x1GB. Is this true? I'm thinking that it's probably worth spending the $50 to just get another 1GB stick, but I just can't seem to find the answer to this question.
Thanks!

Your MBP will run Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
As for 64-bit applications, you will find that most application developers will release them as a single version so it will automatically use the rght binaries for your MBP. There will be the odd application that will be 64-bit only however those will be very specialised and not for general use.
For maximum performance the SODIMMs should be matched however the difference you will actually get will be minimal. Realistically you should have 2GB (2 x 1GB) installed anyway to get the most out of your MBP.

Black Macbook 2.0 GHz Core Duo Ram upgrade question

Kay guys, I can't find the answer to this anywhere.
I have a Black Macbook Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz. It has 1.0 GB of RAM from the factory.
According to wikipedia, OWC, and other sources, this was never an option from the factory! Which has me very confused. So my question is, can I upgrade this Macbook to 4 GB of RAM, utilizing 3 GB, or is the max 2 GB?
And if you could provide supporting evidence that'd be great. I want the mystery solved.
Please help! Thanks.

Question on iCloud, iTunes Match, etc. on MacBook Pro Core Duo 1,1

What won't Snow Leopard be able to run from the recently announced iCloud/iTunes Match suite of features?
I'm assuming I can still get all the benefits of those new programs on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with iOS5, but some features may not be available on my MacBook Pro 1,1 Core Duo. I just don't quite understand what I won't be able to do on the MacBook Pro.
Can anyone summarize?
Thanks!

Nobody knows that. At least nobody that could talk about it.
The iCloud site has all the public information that anyone can possibly know at this point.

Core Duo Question.

Right i have a core duo 1.83Ghz, does that mean i have 2x 1.83ghz processors basically? Or does it mean something more? Also can you dedicate one core to a particular process and how?
Thanks Jimbob

I don't think thats how it works exactly. You may want to take a look at this link ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_(computing) ) to learn about multi core computing.

2Ghz Core Duo question

I'm having a debate with a buddy of mine...
Is a 2Ghz Core Duo considered 2 CPUs running at 2Ghz each?
or..
Is a 2Ghz Core Duo considered 2 CPUs running at a total of 2Ghz (1Ghz each)?

Someone tell the clever marketing bods at Dell.
They had a duo Core 3ghz dekstop on sale on QVC today.
It's either 2 x 1.5ghz duo cores OR they have access to chipsets that not even intel's own website are aware of!!

Startup-Question on iMac Intel Core Duo

Recently I have noticed a picture of the planet Earth when I startup. It flashes for about 30 seconds and then it starts up. What is this and should I do something about it? Thanks.
iMac Core Duo 1.83 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Usually the earth icon is associated with your Mac looking on a network for its boot volume and it isn't finding one, then it sees the one on your hard drive and begins to boot. Go to System Preferences/Startup Disk and make sure that your HS with OS X is selected.
