CPU operating temperature

This should be easy:
Where can I find CPU-Documentation, that specifies optimum and maximum CPU operating temperatures?
Thanks!

You may also read the technical documentations found on constructor's website.
For Intel CPU I found information in section Home � Products � Processors � Intel� Xeon� Processor 5000 Sequence � Technical Documents � Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines document.
I think something similar may be found for AMD CPU on AMD website.

  • CPU operating Temperature range

    Looking for the CPU operating temperature range. Not the ambient operating temperature range, but the range the CPU is allowed to run at.
    My CPU has been nearing 175° F.
    Macbook still runs great.
    This is an early 2006 model with the intel core duo 2GHz
    Thanks

    I believe the lower limit is 32F and the upper limit 212F. At 212F it will trigger thermal shutdown.

  • Cpu operating temperatures

    Would anyone know the safe operating cpu temperatures of a 2.1 imac isight. thanking you

    Thank you for your response. Your answer eliminates one of the causes for the problems I'm having with my iMac.
    You may also know the answer to this problem, the computer doesn't shut down, or go to sleep if I have no programs running, such as iMovie, and iPhoto. When I run one of those programs program I watch the CPU temperature widget climb to around 80c. before shutting, it appears that it only heats up and shut down when I am processing something. So I went down to the local Apple service centre, and told the salesman a brief account of my iMac problems, he just said, 'yea, if it's around 4 years old, it's not worth repairing, buy a new one. But as he seemed more interested in selling me a new one, I thought a should maybe get another opinion from someone else before buying a new one. I've read on the forum that a cleaning may solve it, others say capacitors. Maybe your reply is from left field, yet fixes it up, hope so.
    Happy Holidays, cheers.

  • Operating temperatures of K7N2-Delta L and CPU

    I was wondering what the temperature at which the motherboard cut power to the CPU was for a K7N2-Delta L?
    Also, what are standard operating temperatures for an AMD Athalon XP 2200+?
    Thanks

    Anyone care to take a stab at the first question?

  • Operating temperature high?

    I downloaded smcFancontrol and Istat Nano and it's telling me that my current operation Temperature is 52C (125F). On the Macbook pro website it's saying that the operating temperature is  50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C).
    Could my macbook pro be overheating?   Also i have no backround programs running just Firefox. My room temperature is at 25C (77F).

    Check Activity Monitor and see if there are any programs using the CPU intensively when they shouldn't be.

  • Operating Temperature Limit for MacBook Pro

    The specifications, for MacBook Pro, mention that the operating temperature is 10 to 35 Deg C. Does it mean that MacBook Pro will not function above 35 Deg C? Is it recommended to operate MacBook Pro always in an air-conditioned environment? As I plan to buy for the 1st time, I seek an answer.

    You will find that if you use applications that are CPU intensive the internal temperature can go over 100 C.  This actually is within the safe operating parameters of the MBP.  Should the temperatures become excessive, there are heat sensors that will activate a shutdown so that no damage will occur.
    You might download from the Internet a utility called iStat pro that will show you the internal temperatures of your MBP and the fan speeds.  You can then correlate this information with Activity Monitor data and determine if the temperatures are normal for the given circumstances.
    Ciao.

  • Operating temperatures

    I recently replaced the fan on my PBG412 1.5Ghz.
    Can someone tell me what are the operating temperatures
    when the PB is warm (15min) and watching a video from youtube (High CPU use)?
    Regards

    Does your fan actually go on at 60C, or just spins faster at 60?
    In my experience I have found that sometimes the fan is running very slowly and
    barely audible. The only way to find out is by putting your hand in front of the air vent.
    When the fan runs faster, then I also usually hear it.
    Regards

  • Operating temperatures on Macbook Pro 15" (Mid-2009)?

    Hello people. I have a quick inquiry. I searched google and there were no definite answers regarding this issue, it's all a matter of opinion to many people. What is the safe range for operating temperatures for a 15" Macbook Pro (mid-2009)? Before having installed SMCFanControl, my temperatures ranged in the mid-high-60's (degrees Celsius) when doing intensive work (itunes, google chrome, playing CS: Source on Steam for Mac, Transmission).
    After installing SMCFanControl and cranking up the fans to a 3700rpm my temp is now 43-46 degrees C. Is that at all normal/safe?
    Sorry I'm just used to my old custom-built PC were my temps are in the mid-30's C. My MacPro 6-core is also about the same, mid-30's C.

    I do not remember the exact specs, but if you go to Intel's web site you can look up the design specs for the mobile core-2-duo cpu's. They have a critical operating temp of 100 degrees centigrade (or very close to thereabouts, somewhere between 100 and 105 as I recall).
    So, running at 60 degrees is well within the designed operating specs for the chips. My MBP routinely will get up to 80-85 degrees under intense load (number crunching in R for example) and it seems no worse for wear after nearly a year and half of such use.
    Your MacPro has much larger cpu heat sinks (since it can) as well as a much larger volume of airflow past them. Even so, start pushing all your cores to 100% with some massively RAM intensive applications, and even it's temps will rise quite a bit (I used to see my work 8-core Xeon MacPro get up into the 70-80 degree range under really heavy load).
    And, as mentioned, your machine has thermal shutdown features built into it and monitors several key components internally. Intel designs their mobile chips for higher thermal stress, and they also publish specs and guidelines for manufacturers to follow when installing them in their system designs (eg. air flow, heat sink specs and so forth).

  • How can I find out the current operating temperature of my phone?

    IS there any app or setting to be able to monitor the operating temperature of my iPhone?

    Perhaps if you told us why you need that information, we could offer some alternative suggestions.

  • What is the operating temperature on an MBA Rev C?

    I have an MBA Rev A
    After watching 45 minutes of video the operating temperature is 65 Degrees C and the fan is running at 6200 RPM.
    I was just curious how an MBA Rev C faired under the same circumstances.
    Can someone tell me what the temperature and fan speed is in this situation?

    Both my Rev A & Rev B fans will start in the 2000 rpm neighborhood and climb to about 2300 rpm within 5 minutes of usage.
    Humm...mine will stay at 2000RPM even with AOL Radio and my webcam running.

  • High netbook operating temperature

    good day...
    is 70-75 degrees celcius normal temperature for netbook? i think it is very high operating temperature.  
    my unit is HP mini 210-1099ee.

    Hi,
    From my view, it's a litte bit high. My daughter's mini 210 has never run at that hot. Please check ventilation around it.

  • What does operating temperature mean?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5
    Apple states that the maximum operating temperature is 35 degrees Celcius. Does that mean that my Macbook can be, at max, 35 degrees Celcius, or that the temperature around me, while using my device, can be, at max, 35 degrees?
    Thanks, so much.
    Regards,
    bettyfromcalifornia

    Also pay attention to "storage temperature".
    Car trunks in deep summer can easily exceed both humidity and temperature limits.
    And car tunks in deep winter can easily lower the temperature of all components even deep in the Macbook.  You may want to allow your Macbook some time to slowly re-warm from deep freeze.
    If your Macbook will be in storage for a length of time (2+ weeks) you may want to leave it with a friend who has controlled-environment if your only other option is a storage unitsthat has no controls.

  • Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature

    I see Apple has updated article# 30612 (Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature) to include the MacBook Pro. The most interesting part of the document is the first paragraph:
    "The bottom surface and some areas between the keyboard and LCD hinge of your Apple notebook computer can become hot after extended periods of use. This is normal operating behavior. With processor and bus speeds in portable computers often matching, if not exceeding, those of desktop systems, increased operating temperatures in portable computing products are common throughout the industry."
    So it seems Apple is knowledging that this extreme heat is normal above the F keys and on the bottom surface (mainly at the back).

    Hi Brad,
    "extreme heat"
    All of the Apple computers are like this. Same with all laptops that I have ever seen. The back of the computer near the hinge is where the fan is, so there should be some heat coming of there. I am glad some heat comes out of the keyboard (barely); its better then the logic board.

  • MBP normal operating temperature

    What is considered the normal operating temperature" My MBP runs between 110 and 120 F.
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    If you have the Seagate 7200 RPM HDD there is a single temperature sensor that works with the standard temperature reading utilities. So, he is likely reading the temperature of the HDD.
