Is this temperature and RPM normal?

hello, i jutst bought my new macbook pro late 2010 with core i7 and 512 MB of graphics card.
I just installed World of Warcraft and it runs it at 65-80 degrees celcius, and 6000 fan RPM
this is getting me worried... is this normal? what happens if i play too much with the fans working hard?
would they fail?
also... what is usually the normal temp. and rpm of this macbook pro?
thanks!!! (:

Hi K,
The 60~65 is a fine light work mark. In a not work using, a very light use, as a 10 screen dimension pictures in a loop slideshow or a Safari + Mail, the 50~60 would be desirable. My cool boot brings me a 40~50 mark.
The 70~80 mark is a heavy work mark and fans reach that 600 RPM up limit. The down limit in your machine would be 2000 RPM? Google it to be sure. My Mac has the 1000 RPM down limit and 5000 up limit.
What happens is that when marks reaches 70~80 degrees the fans get to the up limit till readings loose some 10 degrees marks.
As you are in a hot region you could try some other control and see if you get lower constant marks.
We have SmcFanControl, Fan Control and I found in Google searching a modified Fan Control with exponent curve.
Good luck.

  • NOrmal Temperature and Fan Speed of MacBook Pro 13

    Hi,what`s the Normal Temperature and Fan speed of MBP 13 during idle and when browsing or something?...please help..

    The notional idle speed for the fan is 2000 rpm. If you turn it on you'll get about that and a temp of about 36 degrees in a cool room if you don't do anything. Opening a browser over wireless and say streaming a TV programme from the BBC will push the fan up to over 3000 rpm and the temp up to 60 degrees or so. Fan will drop to about 2400 rpm and temp to 53 degrees with gentle browsing.
    Or that's what I get with a 2.53GHz 4GB memory machine. I took the 250GB disk out as it was noisy and put in a 120GB one that came from a Mac Mini so that may use a bit less power. (And the 2GHz Mac Mini has a rock solid 1500 rpm fan and rarely gets hotter than about 65 degrees - this has similar components to the Macbook Pro and so shows what a slightly bigger air access can do I guess).
    The fan is rather faster and more noticeable than I was expecting with the Macbook, but the most noise came from the Toshiba disk which has now been banished to an external enclosure.

  • These i7 4770K Temperatures And Voltage Values Are Normal With Z87-G43?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently upgraded my good old Core2Duo rig and bought a new cpu-motherboard-ram trio. My new specs is as follows:
    - i7 4770K @ stock speed + Coolermaster 212Evo cpu cooler
    - MSI z87 g43 motherboard
    - 2x4 GB G-Skill Ripjaws X 1866Mhz
    - Case: Corsair Carbide 400R
    The problem is I wasn't aware of that new Haswell cpus are running slightly hotter and now I'm little bit worried about my temperatures. Since I was also planning to overclock my cpu a bit and trying to find a point that doesn't need a vast voltage increase, I'm losing my sleeps over this situation at the moment.
    Anyways. I'm using softwares like HWmonitor, Coretemp, Realtemp and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Turbo Boost is also active. So the cpu is going up until 3.9 GHz. Other than that I'm on stock speeds, and motherboard's default values. Here are my temperatures:
    Ambient room temp: Varies between 23-25 °C
    Idle: 28-30 °C
    While playing demanding games like Battlefield 4: Max 58-65°C
    With Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test for 15 mins: max 65-70 °C
    With Prime 95 Blend and OCCT burn tests for 15 mins: max 78-82 °C
    I also run realtemp's sensor test and the values are identical since it's using Prime95 too.
    I also noticed that Prime 95 and OCCT is increasing my cpu voltage value from 1.156 to 1.21 while Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test and BurnInTest is using 1.156v. All these test are using %100 of the cores. Couldn't understand why there's a voltage increase on certain tests which leads my temps go even higher and higher. Will I encounter these kinds of random voltage increases during normal tasks? Like playing games, rendering some stuff etc..?
    On the other hand I tried motherboard's OC Genie future to see what happens. It overclocked the cpu automatically to 4.0 GHz @1.10v. With this setting I've seen max of 70 °C for a second and mostly 65-68°C under OCCT stress test. And also my voltage didn't increase at all and sit at 1.10. I'm a bit confused about these values. Since with default settings I'm getting hotter values and my voltage is going up to 1.21 with Turbo Boost under Prime95/OCCT burn tests. I also found out that my BIOS is v1.0. I don't really have a performance or a stability issue for now except this voltage thing. Does a BIOS update help on that situation? I don't really like to touch something already working OK and end up with a dead board.
    Also I'm wondering if my temperature values are normal with the cpu cooler i have (Coolermaster 212evo)?
    I also could buy some extra fans for my case (1 exhaust to top & 1 intake to side) and maybe a second fan for the cpu cooler if you guys think that these would help a bit.
    Sorry for my English by the way. I'm not a native speaker.
    Thanks for all your comments and suggestions already.

    Thanks for the reply Nichrome,
    I will follow your suggestions for the fans. Currently I don't have any fans on top. But I'm considering to buy some fans to top and side. So you get better results with top fans being exhaust right?
    Also which fan are you using as the second fan for the cpu heatsink? I would buy one of these as well since we have the same heatsink.
    I'm also using the default/auto voltages and settings at the moment. Just Turbo Boost is enabled and when it kicks in voltage is going up to 1.156. Which seems normal and doesnt produce dangerous level of heat. The thing is if I start running Prime95&OCCT the voltages going up to 1.21+ level at the same turbo boost speed (which is 3.9 GHz). And that produces a lot more heat than usual. But if I use BurnInTest or Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test the voltages sit at 1.156 and under full load on all cores. I'm wondering what's the reason of this difference and if it is software or motherboard related. Even with using the OC Genie @ 4.1 GHz temperatures and voltages seem lower than the stock&auto settings (idle 35-38 / stress test with OCCT 70C max, gaming 60-65C max). I'm not sure if a BIOS update would fix this. Since the whole BIOS flashing process is creeping me out. I don't like to bother with something that is already working OK. Don't want to end up with a dead board in the end :P Maybe I'm becoming a bit paranoid though, since this is a really hard earned upgrade after 6 years. :P

  • Mother Temperatures - what is 'normal' and where is the temp taken?

    Just wondering what a 'normal' use temp would be for a K8N Neo4 Platnium SLI mobo? I am running everest and it shows me the mobo temp was up at 41C. Too hot? Now, when I run the two 120mm fans that I istalled on the side the mobo temps go down to 34C. Ambient temp is 24C right now.
    41C safe?
    Also, where does it monitor this temperature?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It is the CPU temp, right? If so, 41 is in the normal range. Sure, you could also take some measures to low down the temp, which is more better. From your description, you have succeeded to do this. Good job!
    There should be a temp sensor located under CPU base, which could know detect current temp signal. The signal was then be amplified, A/D transfer. After that the data would send to BIOS chip. Finally, the BIOS could show the CPU temp on the screen.

  • Normal woring temperature and fan speed?

    Hi,
    I have installed vista x64 bit on macbook pro and have some questinos.
    FIrst, can someone help mi to find keyboard shortcuts for turning on/off wireless network and bluetooth... if is this possible.
    Second, I have installed "input remaper" that allow me to reconfigure some keyboard shortcuts, and it automatic control fans and monitor CPU tempereature. It is between 60-70c and fan speed is set on 2000 rpm minimum... Is it this ok, mean this temperature because machine is sometimes really hot....
    Regards,
    BA

    I too have been wondering the same things. My temps are very high as well 68-69C for the GPU and 65-67C for the CPU cores when under Vista. I do not believe that Vista has any method to control the fans at all for the new unibody macbook and macbook pro models, at least that is the conclusion that I have been coming to myself. I have tried speedfan, riva tuner, coretemp, input remaper, and ati tool, all to no avail. Nothing knows how to properly access and control the fans for the laptop under Vista, and on top of that, the 9600 GPU is the one in use when under Vista, which means even more heat at idle. This really needs to get fixed with an update of bootcamp or a full driver release for vista.

    Thank you for all of your answer.

    I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
    You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

    When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

    If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
    6mbps required for instant 720P
    8mbps for 1080P
    You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
    You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
    Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
    The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
