Simple Questions regarding temperatures for MacBook Pro

Hey,
I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro Mid-2012 2.9 Ghz, i7 Processor, 8 GB of ram, and 750 HDD. It's my first Mac I've bought I'm switching over from an overheating windows laptop.
Now my Mac gets extremely hot under light usage. First thing I did is get iStat to measure temperature. I also went into an Apple Store to get diagnostics done to make sure all hardware, sensors, everything is working and that test passed. Although I realized my Macbook never goes down 100F. Is that normal? All I have open is safari, finder, and maybe a few other apps. I've checked activity monitor and don't see nothing to high. So is 100F normal?
Another issue I have is with Chrome. I used Google Chrome a lot on my windows and I want to on my MacBook too, although when using chrome it gets very hot and very high temperatures such as 170-190F. I've stopped using chrome and use safari, and now I'm at 120F. Why does Chrome do that, is there a fix?
Also, when watching youtube videos using flash I also get very high temperatures such as 150-170F.
So are these temperatures normal? What temperature should my MacBook Pro be at? And what are good temperatures to keep my MacBook Pro at, meaning not exceeding it.
I'd love any opinions and helpful responses.
Thanks,
Jai

Yeah I know there isn't a normal temperature but I meant an ideal temperature to keep it running at, which you did answer to thanks.
But here's the deal, I only have been web browsing so far not even mail, and I never go beneath 115F. Especially when using Chrome, my CPU get's used a lot and I reach unto 170F when using chrome, but on safari I can go down to 125F for web browsing only. As we speak I'm on 128F.
Is there anything wrong?
(I forgot to add that when I took it into an Apple Store, one of the geniuses told me not to use chrome as its eating up CPU and heating my MacBook and told me to use Safari, if I wanted to run my MacBook cooler)

G505s Overheating

I have a G505s laptop with Windows 7 64 bit installed. Whenever i play game like Assassin's Creed 4 or Batman Arkham City, I can play smoothly for about 15 minutes and after that it keeps pausing in the game. I notice that this happens because it heats up a lot. I would be glad for any support.

hi parthyawale55,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you try this setting.
Set the Maximum Processor State to 99% and see if it an maintain a working temperature while gaming.

CPU Overheating problem on Windows 8.1 Pro (installed with BootCamp)

There is a really important overheating problem on windows 8.1 (installed with bootcamp) even i do nothing Cpu is 50-60-70 Celcius degrees. This is really annoying problem. Most of users necessarily need windows OS for using third part programs that doesnt exist on OS X platform. I think this problem is important and has to be fixed as soon as possible.
My brand new Mac:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

I have the same problem on macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 - top configuration

Bootcamp Windows 8.1 Overheating on Macbook Pro Mid 2014

Hello, I recently bought a mid 2014 retina Macbook Pro a few months ago. I got the 2.5Ghz intel i7 16GB RAM. After buying it, I installed Windows 8.1 Pro via bootcamp. So at the moment I'm running Yosemite and Windows 8.1 (Bootcamp). The fan and overheating is not an issue when I'm using Yosemite, and the temperature hovers at around 40 celsius (50-55 celsius when playing games). However, when I switch to Windows, my average temperature is 55-60 celsius. When i play games, it gets up to 80 celsius and the fan runs at full speed. I have a program to monitor my fan speed on windows, but i hate how its so loud and i feel like I'm wrecking my laptop when its at 70 celsius because its really hot to even touch! Is there a way to run windows 8.1 bootcamp and still have it run at 40-55 celsius without the fan running at full power all the time? Please help!! Thank You!

It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.

Windows 7 - No more overheating

Hello. I recently installed Windows 7 in place of XP on my Boot Camp partition, on my Unibody MacBook Pro.
I've only installed NVidia drivers and Realtek sound drivers. I've gamed on this five times in a row without any overheating issues. This is good! Could never get this to work reliably in XP.
My question is, what else do I really need to install and from where do I obtain it? My primary concern is speed, not perks. I don't really care about the track pad. The volume keys might be nice. I'm not really inclined to stick my OSX disk in and run those drivers, based on my XP experiences. I'd like to pick and choose.
My device manager shows a coprocessor with a yellow ! next to it. Is there a Mobo driver or something I need?
Thanks, Heath

I suggest you first get the "TpFan" utility it will show you the actual temperature of various components on the motherboard.
I had similar problems on a X61 and found out that by using TpFan I could set the fan to manual with max speed which would give me more cooling when I needed it.
You should also ensure you have PowerManager installed and proper settings on CPU and fan, use advanced mode. Note that there are two sets of settings one for battery and one for power connected.
It seems that it is not just CPU load but also disk and graphics load that adds to the heat. Maybe if you try to shut of the Aero interface? I found that TpFan helps me understand what is increasing the heat. In my case for instance I have most problems when using my X61 docked with a large display connected.

Windows 7 64 Install causing Overheating

I have a Lenovo T400 which I have owned for almost a year now. I purchased it with Windows Vista Business 32 bit and was very happy with the experience. On Oct 23rd I updated to Windows 7 64 bit.
Since then the computer has been overheating severely. It even had its first forced shutdown due to overheating today. This problem has never occurred before, and I am trying to figure out if anyone else is experiencing overheating issues. I updated to the new BIOS release for Windows 7 and have all the updates out so far.
The System Toolbox does not appear to think anything is wrong. So if others are experiencing such and issue, we can bring it to the notice of the BIOS devs and fix it. Or if anyone has suggestions on how I can fix the problem myself I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks

Hey peabh1602, I've the same problem on my Toshiba A300-1DG Notebook with WIndows 7 Profession x64bit.
I opened a post on social.technet.microsoft.com and found some other people having the same problem LINK to other.
And heres the link for my post in social.technet.microsoft.com.
I don't thinks that its a problem caused by the manufacuter...perhaps you can join our discussion and maybe we'll find a solution...
If you could fix it please tell me...

BootCamp v3.1 and Windows 7 OVERHEATING

ALCON,
I've had Windows 7 Home Premium installed for a little over two weeks now and the temparature gets so hot that my MBP will actually auto-shutdown.
It gets as high as 195F/90C!
1. I do not run any heavy programs or graphic intensive work. Just running a stock trading graph chart that is currently only available for Windows.
2. Even if I do not run anything at all the computer will get intensly hot within the hour.
3. The MBP sits on an angled metal lift that only touches the computer on 4 dime sized points under the laptop (to give ample clearance below for heat syncing and typing comfort); no different than Blue Lounges "cool feet".
I can use Windows 7 while in BootCamp for about an hour (usually have to stop b/c it gets so hot) and then quickly boot into Mac OSX and the temparature reading on the SMC Fan Control is sitting at over 195F which tells me that BootCamp running Windows 7 is actually running much hotter and I am only reading the temperature after it has cooled down a bit.
My specs are below as per my signature block.
Is there anyone having the same problems of overheating and auto-shutdown?
Anyone have any fixes to this issue?

This article is interesting because the new i7 MacBook Pro's are also having the SAME overheating issues:
http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/172791,macbook-pro-helps-core-i7-hit-100-degr ees.aspx
I've now met another person who has the same overheating problem when running Windows 7 and BootCamp v3.1.
Apple, are you listening?!

Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
Thanks in advance.

A little solution that has helped me.

and as suggested by Kappy
Input Remapper
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

Overheating running Windows

I have a MacBook Pro bought last September 2009.
When I work on Windows under Bootcamp, I notice a high overheating (especially on the left side of the keyboard). This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard (on the same machine).
Please, I would appreciate your help. I tried "SpeedFan" to run on Windows with Bootcamp but it doesn't work on MBP.
Thank you.

Overheating is a major problem with the unibody MBP's, and especially when running on bootcamp partition. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a firmware issue, but i hope apple figures it out soon.
Anyways, back on topic. I assume you have either a 15 or 17 inch MBP because those are the ones with 2 video cards. When you boot into WIndows it automatically switches to the 9600M card which runs considerable hotter, and also happens to be on the left hand side of the keyboard. There is nothing you can do to change this as far as I am aware.
There isn't really any solution that i have found. You could download SMC Fan Control (google it) and simply crank the fans up before you boot into windows. On my MBP however(and maybe yours if you leave it in bootcamp long enough), the fans start to ramp up and go after a certain point.And because i use bootcamp only for gaming, I just prop it up on a couple of books and hook up a keyboard to it.
You could try using a program like VMware Fusion to create a virtual windows environment and then you could monitor and adjust fan speeds, not to mention it runs much cooler then bootcamp. This however, will not allow you to game.

Satellite A500 overheating after upgrading to windows 64bit

Hey,
I just upgraded to 64bit and my GPU temperature has been really high, around 60 degrees Celsius. It goes up to 107 when I run a game. When I had 32bit running I never had this problem, I could play any game without the laptop overheating. I thought at first it was a problem with drivers, or that im missing somthing.
I have updated bios, every single other driver that I could find for my laptop and repeatable reinstalled video card drivers with no change.
Now I have been trying to work out how to change the fan settings, I have noticed the fan starts running fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease that setting aswells increase the fan speed.
I have tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.
I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32bit that I will have the same problem since there might be some kind of driver or utility I have lost in the format.
Is there a way I can fix this problem? Is there a Toshiba utility or something I might have missed?
Is the A500 not compatible with 64bit? Can the fan settings be changed?
Thanks in advance

Have you installed the Toshiba Value Added Package? It is an important package because it provides core hardware interfaces.
If it's still overheating, there may be dust buildup in the heatsink. You can remove the dust by using a Can of Compressed Air.
If it's still overheating after removing the dust, updating the BIOS, and testing it with the factory Windows installation, then it's probably a hardware problem. An authorized service provider can investigate the problem. There's an ASP list on the Toshiba website.

MacBook Pro is overheating in Windows 7

My MacBook Pro is overheating with the public beta release of Windows 7. This never used to happen in XP. I'm at a loss as to why this is.
Windows 7 32-bit on a MacBook Pro 2,2.

SpeedFan has never been found to work on Mac hardware.
Fan control is not that easy even on PC, it seems, and eVGA is working on getting a fix for their mobo.
InputRemapper use to work, but now doesn't work for everyone, not more recent MacBook and iMac - has not been updated in two years even.
Seems like it would not be that hard for Apple to develop their own tool, such as eVGA did with their E-LEET (based on CPUID). No way to monitor and control GPU fans in OS X (EVGA Precision, would be nice now that their GTX285 for Mac is a reality).
We've had a number of threads over this and heat, and what to use, and "why not SpeedFan" (all it needs is a profile, right?).

Are their still overheating issues with bootcamp running windows 7?

I am wanting to do a little gaming on my mac, but saw plenty of forums pre 2010 about Macs overheating when running windows 7 and even XP. I have a Mid 2012 macbook pro with Intel HD 4000 and a 2.5 Ghz I5 processor, I was wondering if there has been any updates to macs or bootcamp that quells the overheating, and would my mac still be susceptible to this problem?

No changes because the problem is there is no fan control software for Windows that works with the Mac hardware.

MacBook Pro overheating bootcamp Windows 7.

I'm on a late 2013 MacBook Pro and recently wanted to start using my mac for gaming and needed Windows. However, even without playing any games my computer gets heated a bit and when I do run an application it's way overheated. In OS i have my fans maxed out, I've tried to restart my computer with the fans maxed out then start Windows but at the load up screen the fans turn off. Is there any way to control the fans on Windows? Or stop it from turning them off?

If it isn't shutting down, it isn't in danger of overheating.
95C is close to the safe temperature limit for your machine, but still below it. At CPU/GpPU temps of approximately 100C, the machine will shut down for its own protection.
You can aid it in cooling itself efficiently by always resting it on a hard, flat surface, and additionally by propping its back edge up an inch or so. The steps assure that the rear cooling vents are never blocked and there is a steady convective flow of cooler air across the underside of the case. Resting the computer on anything soft, including your lap, raises its temperature.

HP envy 6 - unable to update to Windows 10 because of overheating

Hi, I have tried to run a windows 10 update like 15 time by now. My laptop always switched of at some stage of "copying files" process, and on reboot I see a message that the shutdown was due to overheating up to or over 90 degrees C. My laptop has never shut down because of overheating before, on normal usage (I do not play games) the tempreture of the processor would be from 45 to 56 C. I do regularly clean the vents. Is there any way for me to get the bloody windows 10 update finished on this machine? Thank you in advance.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that your notebook is overheating while trying to install Windows 10. I am happy to help with this. Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I am not sure why it is suddenly overheating on you if it was working well before, and with the measures you are taking. I includethese pages for your review in case there is something that that you could do that has been missed.
HP Notebook PCs - Reducing heat inside the PC to prevent overheating
HP Notebook PCs - Why Computers Generate Heat I realize this is more of a bandaid. but it may help get through the process when Windows 10 should then manage the heat. It sounds as if during the installation process, the CPU usage is climbing, and the normal software that would manage the heat is not present.
