Do all the PowerBooks get to very high temps?

My PowerBook G4 gets to 185 (85 celsius)

My PowerBook G4 gets to 185 (85 celsius)
Hello Victor,
85°C? Wow! That's way too hot, at least for the 12" model. The fan is supposed to activate at 60°C. Recently my 12" PowerBook's fan has not activated - and my PB is overheating too, up to 72°C after 10-15 minutes of 100% CPU load running Folding@Home.
Let's try to help each other since no one else is answering our questions.
- Do you hear fan noise from your PB when it gets very hot?
- How are you monitoring the temperature? (I use X-Resource-Graph)
- What application(s) were you running when your PB heated to 85°C? Do you know the %CPU utilization? (as you may know already, you can see this in Activity Monitor)
- What was the last software update you installed on your PB?
- What did you do when you noticed how hot your PB was? Did you shut it off, or did it go to sleep by itself?
Thanks Victor - I'm sure that if we get a good thread going here, we can figure out these overheating problems.
Best wishes,
Jean
PowerBook G4 DVI 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 640 Mb RAM, original 37+ Gb hard drive. Usually running Folding@Home (cpu-intensive)

Very high temp, but no problems at all!!!

Ok I got this k7n2-l last month. When I installed it with my 1800 xp, the temps would hover about 60 to 75 c. So I went and bought a new cpu cooler( therm vol 7) adn applied some artic silver 2. no change in temps. this cpu ran like 30 to 40c in my old k7s5a board with retail cpu fan. So I went and bought a xp 2200. and had them install it pro installed with retail cpu fan and thermal pad. now my temp hover between 70 and 100 c. the funny thing is I have never had a crash or any system problems what so ever. And I play counter-strike everyday. I ordered a ther volc 9 with some artic silver 3. But doesnt this seem weird. that I get these high temps and my system is very stable. I even oc'd the 2200 to a 2400 and get the same temp readings. I think the temp is wrong. Oh and I'm reading it from the bios and pc alert 4. what do you guys think?

With a Duron 800 and a Thermalright SK-5 and a 60 MM fan blowing about 12 CFM i was sitting around 120 F. I installed a Valcano 9 and the temp whent up to 131 F. I thougth i installed it wrong so i took it off, cleaned it and re aplied some Arctic Alumnia and the temp was stilla round 130 F. I took it off, put the SK-5 back on and it dropped to around 124 F. I took the 80 MM fan off the Valcano 9 and placed it on the SK-5. The temp whent down to around 118 F. Needless to say the Valcano 9 heatsink is a peice of . Or my first generation old ass SK-5 is badder asser. But i dought that seeing the I was getting the same temps with a $8 CoolerMaster.
Now with my Athlon 1700+ @ 195x10 I hover around 127 - 131 F with the Thermaltake fan from the Valcano 9 at its lowest setting, compleatly silent, spinning about 2500 RPM's.
I attached the sensor from the Valcano 9 to the bottem of the Proc whith some thermal tape. With a little re-wiring i ran it into my Vantec NXP 201. What ever it reports is usally around 3 - 5 C lower then the Bios. Usually around 48 C. I thought the Bios temps where way off. But now lookign at it i'm not so sure they are. If the temp in the Bios is being taken fromthe core of the Proc and the temp on the Vantec Nesus is being taken from the bottom of the proc, and theres only a free degrees difrence, i'm not sure the Bios is wrong.
This is on an ILSR BTW..

GT60 0NE new EC getting very high temps

Hi , i have a GT60 0ne with gtx680m. I just update the firmware n bios but the new EC which i download (16F3EMS1.413.zip) from the msi site is making my gpu pretty hot. Temps used to be 79-80 on full load and
now my highs are like getting onto 90s and it seems the fan doesnt scale very well with the temps. It is much more quiet in fact after the new EC update but its making my gpu running like an oven.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi flobelix and thanks for the clarification. I just flashed back the old EC from msi china as most msi sites have been updated with the new EC. Yup its loud but i think i have more peace of mind.
Thank you.
which old version is this?

All the data getting exported in the first column of csv while exporting

Hi All,
In 11.5.10.2, I have a page with advanced table region. Am using OA Framework's export button to export the results.
But, problem is, All the results are getting exported in the first column of the output .csv file. Why such a behavior?
Profile Option of 'Export MIME Type' value is text/text-separted-values.
Any ideas would be of timely help. Thanks.
Regards, Soorya

From OAF standpoint, it just exports the data. Data interpretation is completely dependent on client machine and excel setups.
Please check the Data-->Text to Columns wizard where we can specify the delimiter(s) on excel.
Not sure if this can be set up in Apps, so that we need not change on every end-user machine.
Hope this helps.

3g phone ringer all the way up but very faint, all sounds are very faint or none at all. Even the click when turning off is bearly audible. Is there a fix for this?

My phone volume has almost disappeared. Screen clicks, ringer all of it is bearly audible, sometimes not at all. Everything is on, ringer volume turned all the way up. Is there a fix for this on the iphone 3G?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

ADF: All the InvokeExecuteWithparams getting executed automatically

Hi,
In my ADF page i have 13 executeWithParams and corresponding invokeExecteWithParams, when i click on any of the button or link all the executables are getting fired automatically thereby decreasing the performance of the application. On all the invokeExecuteWithParams i have given the refresh property = 'ifNeeded' then also this issue is coming.
Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Kalpana.

JDev version is 11.1.1.5.0
yes they are invokeActions. Each invokeAction should be fired only when method is called through the backing bean but all the invokeActions are getting called on each button/link. I did not specify any refreshCondition on any of the invokeActions. I just specified the Refresh=ifNeeded tats it!
How does #{adfFacesContext.initialRender} help in resolving this issue, kindly explain.

Very high temp. with GNB MAX

Hello, i have a problem with my MSI GNB MAX motherboard and my p4 3,06 ghz
My cpu temperatures are very high, with a maximum of 85/86c,,, is this normal??
Anyone else having a similar problem like this?
MSI GNB MAX (ms-6565) motherboard
P4 3,06 ghz processor with standaard p4 cooler
1024 mb DDR 266 mhz (dual) memory
Geforce 4 mx videocard
60Gb Maxtor ATA133 HD
Promedium Mars case with a total of 6 fans
(not overclocked)

If Vcor is 1.4 (I'm running 1.525 but reads 1.47 in PCAlert), AND fsb is set for 134, AND your HSF is running AND has good contact, there is no way for it to be that hot. The stock HSF is a pretty good part. I would suggest getting a temperature probe and touching it to the base edge of the HSF to see if you are really that hot. In Bios, I have the cut off threshold at 65C and alarm at 63C. I dont know the exact conversion but 86C is near hot enough to boil water. The laquer from the chip would probably begin to melt and create an odor.

Is Apple not aware of all the users getting stuck in BACKUP loading OS 5?

I know I'm not the only person running PC XP that is getting stuck in Backing up your iPhone purgatory!!! This is the third morning I've checked my iPhone 4 after letting it attempt to update ALL NIGHT LONG. It has been sitting on my desk, connected with the backup window running blue left to right with no apparent progress in updating. I click on STOP and it says it's cancelling the update but then it gets stuck. Can't stop it, can't close the window and have to end up using Task manager to stop the application. 3 attempts - 3 completely identical set of results. I've been updating and syncing since iPhone 2 without any issue. Now the supposedly wonderful update doesn't work. I am saddened by the loss of Steve Jobs, the man the visionary. I've never had an issue with any of my 5 iPhones (2G 4GB, 2G 8GB, 3G 16GB, 3GS 32GB and this 4G 16GB). I'm lost because I've never had to think about discussing a problem. I've googled my issue and other than older posts related to previous OS issues, my issue seems to be relatively new. HELP!!!!

The phone you bought is NOT unlocked. The seller lied.

Not all the fonts get smoothed

The headline of the article is not smoothed in my system, other text is smoothed. Why? My .fonts.conf:

It's not the only text on Web I meet that is not smoothed. 98% of text has great smoothing, other 2% doesn't have smoothing and looks ugly. How to fix it?

My MacBook late 2008 fan goes on all the time and is very loud is this normal

It's weird I will be on safari or on iTunes or other apps and it will turn on and wear down battery is this normal

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If this doesn't work then you will need to erase the drive and install Snow Leopard from scratch:
Erase and Install Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. When completed quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.

GeForce NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ, Very High Temp; should I be concerned?

Hello,
I have the MSI GeForce 8600 GTS NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ-HD. I just opened the case and realized it runs really hot; I can barely touch the copper pipes or the aluminum heat sink. I have a Silenex Fan right under it and some air flows over the surfaces. For reference, the 975X chips/heat sinks are near room temp.
Anyone notice this issue? Should I be concerned about a video card in the computer that run this hot? If so, any suggestions for cooling? I have P182 case and 5 fans.
Scott

Had no idea what these were, but searched/read. Downloaded & installed Nvidia Ntune, which added features to the control panel, including temp monitoring. GPU Temp is 48c, and I can't imagine that is an issue, right?
Thx for the good suggestion; I appreciate it!
Scott
nop, GPU can running very hot without to worry about. 80-90C underload temp can be expected.
if you don't have real issues don't worry about the temp.

Do all the PowerBooks get to very high temps?
