Is this safe temperature for XServe

Sorry if this has been answered before, I looked at the XServe Manual and their temperature information was not much of a help.
Basically, I have XServe 2,1 (Early 2008 Model) running in my room without A/C.
After running it for 6 hours, this is the current temperature:
SMB NORTHBRIDGE CHIP DIE: 62 C
SMC AMBIENT AIR: 41 C
SMC AMBIENT AIR POSITION 2: 42 C
SMC CPU A DIODE: 52 C
SMC CPU A HEAT SINK: 48 C

SMC CPU B HEAT SINK: 46 C
SMC CPU C DIODE: 47 C
SMC CPU D DIODE: 47 C
SMC DRIVE BAY 1: 48 C

SMC POWER SUPPLY POSITION 2: 47 C
SMC POWER SUPPLY POSITION 3: 47 C
SMC POWER SUPPLY POSITION 4: 43 C
SMC POWER SUPPLY POSITION 5: 59 C
SMC POWER SUPPLY POSITION 6: 50 C
I've used "Temperature Monitor" to get this value.
I was wondering if this was a Safe Temperature for running XServe 24/7 365.
Also, I keep reading a lot on "Server Monitor", however I am on OS X Lion and dont seem to be able to find it anymore.
I've checked out the "Server" from apple store, however, I was not able to find "Monitor" in there.
I wanted to monitor my fan speed.
Thank you everyone for the help.

Hi
The temperatures you've posted look fine to me. A simple search over on the XServe forum offers some threads discussing differing temperatures you could use as a rough yardstick?

"I keep reading a lot on "Server Monitor", however I am on OS X Lion and dont seem to be able to find it anymore?"
Are you sure? Lion's Server Admin tools are available for download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1596
If you're using Server Admin you must have done this already? If it was deleted accidently simply download and re-install again. The installer creates a folder in /Applications named Server. If it already exists it simply overwrites it and installs afresh. After the re-install you should find Server Monitor in there.
You may not be aware but you can install the Server Admin tools on a non-server OS-compatible client. You can run the server administration applications (including Server Monitor) remotely.
If the hardware is in a large-ish room with good air circulation I would not worry too much about no air conditioning. If it's in a small-ish cupboard with very little air flow I would re-think where you're siting it. Ideally and if you can afford it use A/C.
My 2p.

  • Safe temperature for G5 2.7 dual

    Hi,
    I'm looking at a G5 2.7 dual tomorrow and need to know what is a safe temperature range, I will check it with istat pro, if there is there a better way of checking can someone let me know?

    Look deep underneath for dust and liquid coolant leaking.
    Under heavy load is where the concern generally is, hard to test that.
    Apple Hardware Test would be a good step.
    Like most any processor, the safe thermal range tends to be cooler the better, but to stay below 70*C. Idle is probably in the 35*C area though.
    Ambient room temp, location, good air circulation (not confined or blocked).
    Look up the reports on G5 Coolant Leaks - and the make of the LCS matters.

  • Safe Temperature for my Mac

    I have reason to believe my powerbook is overheating (and no, not from the battery), do you know any "safe temperature" range for my cpu?

    Welcome to the Apple discussion forums.
    First, do you have a view of what the temperatures are? If you download and run temperature monitor (available at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19994), what's it show? Depending on what is running on the system, temps into the 130 degree F are not unusual. I believe the fan starts around 140 degrees F.
    Is something running that is driving CPU utilization, which would create heat. When you notice it's heating up, go to applications, utilities, and run the activity monitor. Do you find anything running that's chewing up the CPU?

  • What is a safe temperature for the CPU?

    My new MBP's CPU is running at around 55-65 degrees idle, and upper 70's to low/mid 80's when doing anything intensive. (According to iStat widget)
    I was wondering if this is normal or safe, as according to
    http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/366/2
    The max temperature should be 60.1 degrees Celsius
    Message was edited by: CCDwyer

    My pleasure. Thanks for the star!
    By the way, the temps you report are normal. Above ~65 C the fans speed to to provide more cooling (they idle at ~1000 rpm or ~2000 rpm depending on model, and have a max speed of 6000 rpm.

  • What is a safe temperature for my Macbook Pro to be at before I should worry?

    My laptop (Macbook Pro) has a temperature of about 55 degrees celcius. Is this a problem? Also, what is the temperature in which I should begin to worry about the laptop and it overheating.
    Please answer.

    No, it's probably not anything to worry about. If the computer becomes dangerously hot it shuts down automatically. Depending upon a specific model, CPU, what is loaded at the time the temperatures can range between 30º and 90º C. Playing certain games or performing processor intensive activities can drive up the operating temperatures. Keep the computer well ventilated, don't use it in a room where the air temp is about 85º F without very good external cooling, don't use it for long periods at very hight temperatures.

  • Right CPU temperature for MacBook?

    I downloaded an application today that lets me see how hot my processor is running, it displays the temperature in the menu bar. I thought it was running a little hot, so I did some Google searches and saw the average temperature was about 43-50C, mine's running anywhere from 56-60C.
    Is the running temperatures different for MacBooks? In a sense, is this normal temperature for the MacBook? I have good ventilation for it, my fan works fine and all that, but I'm curious as to what average running temperature is, and what's safe, what I should be expecting, etc.
    Thank you!

    We have had many discussions on MacBook temps. Normal temp is usually 50ºC to 60ºC. Then when it gets hot it can get up to around 80ºC to 85ºC. Some run cooler, not by much, and some run hotter.
    Yours is normal. See this for info also. Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperatures

  • The Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 plugin check says "VULNERABLE" and suggest an update for Adobe flash player 10.1. It may disable my antivirus. Is this safe? Is it the right update?

    I have Firefox 3.6.10.
    When I checked for plug-ins updates, it opened the "plug-in check" page and showed the Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 as "vulnerable", explaining a potential security vulnerability and suggesting to update to latest version if existent, or if not,disable the plugin.
    The Adobe security advisory suggests to upgrade to the newest version Adobe Flash Player 10.1.85.3.
    When I click on it, it says Adobe Flash Player 10.1 only. It also says: "You may have to temporarily disable your antivirus software". Is this safe? Also: how do I know that the 10 . 1 version is the same as the 10.1.85.3 version?

    The [http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ Adobe Flash Player] page refers to 10.1, but the full version details for the latest release is 10.1 r85 which is a security update. You can get it from the above link, or use the manual installers available from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    You should not have to disable the Anti-virus software in order to install Flash, only do that if is is interfering with the installation.

  • TS1702 Apps asking for specific information before launch including apple I.D.??? Is this safe?

    A recent app I downloaded named death rally was asking for specific details regarding my iTunes account including my password my name and childhood names which are common security passwords and it requires this information before the game will launch. Is this safe? If does not appear to be however since it is from apple is it not protected and secure to use?

    Have you restarted your iPad or reset the device since you downloaded this game? Or even quit the game completely and restrt the iPad? I don't know if that would clear this issue up, but frankly, I just don't think that the game should be behaving like this. I have never heard of an app requiring multiple security questions.
    Is this a Game Center game? I have a Game Center account, but other than a user name and password, I don't ever recall the game requesting security answers.

  • Is this safe for the macbook?

    to use on battery till about 50 percent and then hook it up to the charger? sorry for the noob question?

    Just to clarify as it's not clear in your original question. There is often a misconception that you need to fully discharge the battery before recharging it again. While this is true for nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries, this is not the case for lithium ion/polymer batteries.
    I'm just mentioning this in case you were asking because you thought you should be fully discharging the battery before recharging it. With the battery in your MacBook, the "more" you use it on battery, the more quickly you will shorten the life of your battery. Fully discharging your battery on a regular basis can drastically shorten its life.

  • Safe Temperature Range

    I would like to know the safe temperature range for the mac mini. I have the idea to install one in a vehicle and would like to know if this is feasible. I live in Florida at the moment, but the car is tinted heavily and has a very effective sunshade in the windshield. I plan to return to Pennsylvania this coming winter, so the mini would see both cold and hot conditions. Is this safe for it or will it be damaged? Would this be covered by any warranty?

    Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
    Storage temperature: -40° to 116° F (-40° to 47° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

  • Is this too hot for my MacBook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    I run Bootcamp on my Mac (OS X during university, Windows 7 for games on the holidays haha) but I have noticed my computer gets really hot.
    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 15' 2.2 i7.
    At the most (using coretemp) my Macs CPU appears to get as high as 100C. I know the max for my chip is 100C, so is this a problem?
    It usually runs a little lower (87-97C) but I still worry there is the possibility of damage. It should be noted that at these temperatures it sounds like a jet engine is inside the case (obviously the fans).
    If this is a danger how long is too long for the computer to be at these temperatures?
    Kindest Regards.
    Tyler

    At that temperature for a sustained period of time over time will lead to your thermal paste on the CPU to fail. Actually, alot of the thermal paste sitting on the board will fail eventually but at high temps for sustained periods of time can't be great. And if you've ever seen iFixit's breakdown of the macbook pro, there are gobs and gobs of thermal paste all over the dang thing.... I say use away and make sure you get apple care !! hehe because if any of the problems you get are related to hardware it can always be fixed.... or swapped
    But 100 C is not that hot for a CPU or GPU... in fact it's borderline warm. Most CPUs I have run up 140-165 and operate around that temperature... I think your safe for the most part. Just backup your stuff onto an external occasionaly, and if worse comes to worse make sure you have apple care and bring her on in.... I'm curious to hear what other's say about the operating temperatures. If you look in your manual Apple says normal operating temp is like 50 - 65 or something and they say 105 C should be your max....

  • Safe Temperatures - MSI GE70 0NC

    So, I've been googling and (obviously) searching through this forum to find some sort of answer to my question regarding the safe temperatures of the CPU and GPU of the MSI GE70 0NC. This is due to the fact that my Intel Core i7-3610m is running (Turbo Boost disabled) at around 101 degrees Celsius (with a laptop cooler pad) when under heavy loads and also because my GPU reaches temperatures around 95 degrees Celsius while playing any game using the nVidia 650m. Would any kind fellow out there answer this question: What are the supposed safe temperatures of this laptop? (because I am getting worried here)
    ((Idle Temperatures at around 50 degrees Celsius, within two minutes of heavy load the temperature is up at around 101 degrees Celsius - For the CPU))

    The reality is that idling the CPU should be around 40C when the laptop is in a room that is at around 25C (room temperature). The GPU should be similar.
    Under full load, the CPU should really be in the 60 to 75C range, and the GPU should again be very similar, if not lower.
    Most likely either the fans are clogged like badboy2k suggests, or the heatsink compound/grease is not working effectively.
    You can either RMA the laptop, or just fix it yourself. Personally, fixing it yourself is the best option as it's not difficult to dismantle and then replace the compound. I would suggest some silver based thermal compound, generic or name brand doesn't really matter much, you won't really notice a difference yourself if done properly.

    I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Repair Utility for  xServe RAID?

    We have an xServe with an attached RAID consisting of four 350 GB drives. The drives are set up as a RAID. Due to storms/hot weather (air conditioning failed) the server restarted and the RAID powered down. The xServe is fine but the RAID is not functioning. From RAID Admin the drives all show up and are OK but the array is not showing up. Is there any disk repair utility that would be useful on a RAID?
    xServe RAID   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    xServe RAID   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The fact that it's showing up as spares is a significant problem. The host won't recognize it until the RAID recognizes the array. There is no separate utility to help you with this, other than RAID Admin.
    What firmware version is on the array? If it's 1.5, there's a "recognize array" option that you should try. If it's an older version, I'd tell you it would be nice if you could have gone back in time and upgraded the firmware. Since that's not possible, you should call AppleCare (assuming you have got APS&S for Xserve RAID, or the machine is < 1 year old) and inquire about your options.
