MBP 8,2 Overheating?

I got an MBP 8,2 with 2,2 ghz, 4gb ram, 1 gb gpu, 750 gb 5200 hdd.
I am using it about a year now.
I am having freezing issues from almost the day i got it. And I tried to solve it in topics here and all over the internet. I tried almost everything. I got a fresh install for 3 OS's. And all other stuff recommended. But nothing helped until now.
I am kind a tired and thinking of selling it.
But because of my school conditions I am gonna wait until January.
I am having a question in my head nowadays. Since I am using iPhoto and Skype a lot nowadays, and both are using around %100 cpu, my MBP is incredibly heating (around 90-95 C) and fans goes up to 6200 in a minute. Is it normal? As I surf over the internet even their MB goes up to 80-90 C fans dont go that high.
Do you recommend thermal paste reapplying?
Thanks.

No idea about your issue with the artifacts, but safe mode disables all drivers except ones needed for system operation. That does include graphics drivers.

2011 13 in MBP i5 & i7 overheating, feedback welcomed!

So I recently purchased a 13 in i5. I can't believe how hot this thing gets. Fans take off instantly when I run PLEX, with no movies running. Mail, Calendar and Safari open, the temps run about 80C. Is this normal? What can I do?
Others having this issue. I would love to hear feedback or similar situations with possible solutions.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13' as well, and I haven't experienced any problems until today.
I've never experienced the computer getting surprisingly hot, but it did turn of twice without no reason. I was working in Pages both of the times, and it just turned itself off and wouldn't turn on in a minute or so. It's working perfectly fine when until it suddenly turned off.
I've read about heat-problems and I am currently downloading 10.6.7, is this gonna be fixed by software or should I turn my computer in?

Macbook pro exploded

look, i've been having those crazy whining noises and overheating probs you guys have been having, but today something insane happened. the whining just kept growing, growing, and the heat just kept getting hotter and hotter, and all the sudden... BOOM! my macbook pro exploded. i'm on my pc right now typing this and my pinky is missing, so excuse my misuse of the english language. i live out in the country and im against going to doctors, and besides the nearest ER is 3 hours away. what should i do???? a piece of the mbp shrapnel cut my dog's neck.
these **** macbook pros! they all have flaws!!!

i was just going for a laugh. lots of complaints of overheating and whining, which is totally reasonable... it is a support forum. for some reason i found humor looking at all these threads labeled "whining in mbp!" and "overheating!", and randomly coming upon a thread that says "macbook pro exploded" hahahahaha

Anyone else seeing their MBP's shut down due to overheating and no fans?

I have a 2 month old MBP that overheats and locks up when playing World of Warcraft in OS X. The processor temp will get to 100-105 and the MBP locks up and requires a forced hard boot. The fans don't spin up - they stay at 2k.
Also, on the Windows side (64 bit Vista), the upper left hand corner of the chassis gets extremely hot - again no fans spin up.
I have resorted to using smcFanControl to manage the fans in order to prevent overheating. I have seen many people post about this exact same problem on these boards - does anyone have any advice? I am concerned that I am frying the hardware over time!
I called Apple tech support and they say they have no knowledge of this being an issue.

No problem here, at first my fans were stuck at 2k regardless of the temps. I reset the SMC and that (at least for me) fixed the problem.
While I use and advocate the use of smcFanControl, I recommend that you get your laptop repaired (or replaced). Now with that said, there seems to be quite a number of threads of WOW users who complain about the heat being generated from using that game and likewise, it seems pretty evident that using Vista means your laptop will be running hot for what ever reason.
If your fans are not ramping up beyond 2k in OSX, then that's not right, if its running hot in vista or playing WOW then that might be another issue.

NEW MBP: any overheating issues with the newest MBP?

I'd like to know if anyone experienced any overheating problems with the newest models? Plus, are they really all warped?? I wanna go for the 15-inch one...

My MBP, received a week ago, got loco on me once and really started heating up with the fans going full-blast, but it turned out to be Spotlight happily trying to index a very large external firewire drive with an extensive photo collection. Once I disabled indexing on that volume, things returned to and have remained normal ever since. For ventilation purposes, you need to leave the area around the keyboard and around the display hinge free, since that is where the fans push the air in and out thru the machine.
That's also why the jury is still out, regarding using a MBP for intensive applications in a closed-lid, external KVM configuration.

Help + Opinions: MBP Overheating + Testing. Inconclusive.

Hey guys,
So I've been reading for the last two days about the MBP overheating and there seems to be significant descrpencies from user to user. Some users swear that their MBP never gets over 60˚C (all temperatures below will be shown in ˚C) and others swear that their normal operating temperature even while browsing the internet is 75˚C +. Nonetheless, over the last few months I've noticed that my MBP is running very hot and w/ in the last two weeks I have seen it actually shut down due to temperature at 3 times. I live 2,000km from the nearest Apple Store (China) so unfortunately, at least for a while, Genuis support is out of the question. It's become quite an issue because my a professional photographer who generally has PS3 and LR3 open at the same time, which didn't use to be a problem
I'd very much appreciate some educated and thoughtful input into this subject and see what you guys would suggest to maybe alleviate the problem
Conditions
- MBP elevated about 1 inch attached to 21 inch monitor
- About 2 months ago I upgraded to Snow Leopard - didn't notice this issue right away but the upgrade is noteworthy
- Notice constant temperatures between 65˚C and 85˚C while only browsing the internet, being the same under both testing conditions - averaging closer to 70˚C
- My fans hardly ever go below 6200rpm - annoying and bad.
- The MBP is 13 months old
- I absolutely cannot play any graphic intensive game for more than 10 minutes w/o a forced thermal shutdown... sad.
- Already reset crm(sp?)/fan controls and the PRAM - helped a little under idle conditions.
- All OpenGL support in PS3 is turned off
Test #1 - "Better Battery Life"
- I took two sets of readings on these tests: The Computer temps + Processes, both w/o load and under load
- I let the computer idle for about 5 minutes before taking any readings
- Notice the temps while having one document open in PS
- Fan on max, 6200RPM most of time, bottoms out around 4200 RPM once the CPU drops to around 59˚C
http://brianhirschy.com/mbp/mbpnhigh.jpg
Test #2 - "Higher Performance"
- I took two sets of readings on these tests: The Computer temps + Processes, both w/o load and under load
- I let the computer idle for about 5 minutes before taking any readings[/
- Notice the temps while having one document open in PS
- GPU Diode seems to be 15-20 degrees HOTTER while everything else remains the same
- Fan on max, 6200RPM all the time, no matter the temp
http://brianhirschy.com/mbp/mbphigh.jpg
Strange Conclusion
If feels as if the computer actually runs cooler and faster under the "Better Battery Life" option. I feel that the GPU Diode is actually heating the computer more than necessary esp. in non-graphic intense situations. I'm tempted to run the computer under the "Better Battery Life" vs "Higher Performance" option. Strange conclusion, I know.
General Questions
+- Aside from the issue at hand, how would it be possible to see better performance under a 'lower performance' setting - ie, better battery life.+
+- I'm finding it very difficult on the internet to see if this is w/ in the range of normal operating temps+
+- What does the 'Higher Performance' option in Sys Pref -> Power Mang. actually do? Seems to just prime the GPU+
+- Is it entirely possible that I'm just NOT going to be able to game on this rig due to overheating? Seems like that's an issue.+
+- Have other users noticed that the fans just simply don't turn off when on "Higher Performance" setting?+
Nonetheless, if you've gotten this far, I appreciate your time and thanks for reading through this. I know there are many threads on this issue, but none are conclusive and most don't provide any supporting evidence to suggest there is a heat issue. As an experienced MR forum user, I wouldn't be rehashing an old issue if there wasn't a reason for it.
Thanks again,
Brian

If feels as if the computer actually runs cooler and faster under the "Better Battery Life" option.
It does run cooler. The Better Battery Life setting invokes the lower-powered GPU, which uses less power and generates less heat. Faster? Not likely — but under many conditions and workloads it won't be any slower.
I'm tempted to run the computer under the "Better Battery Life" vs "Higher Performance" option.
Go ahead. You may find that your workflow doesn't suffer perceptibly or at all.
Three things that can cause your machine to work extra hard and generate lots of extra heat are inadequate RAM, an overly full hard drive, and a runaway process hogging CPU cycles without your knowledge. If you don't have at least 4GB of RAM, upgrade to 4, 6, or 8GB: the more the better for your purposes. If your hard drive is more than 80% full, you need a bigger one, given your photo applications' demand for scratch disk space. To make sure you don't have something running in the background that's jacking your computer's temperature up, follow the procedure described in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473
If you have USB external hard drives connected most or all of the time, switch to FireWire drives. USB imposes an extra processing load on your CPU that FireWire does not.
Finally, if you are running your machine in clamshell mode (with its display closed), open the display. It will cool itself more efficiently that way.

Can an overheating charger damage my MBP?

My charger recently got so hot that I could not touch it. Not only was the block hot, but the cable, and conneciton to the computer were also hot. The magnetic connector for the charger actually burned my finger and left a red mark. I unplugged everything (using a glove) and let it cool. I plugged everything back in when my battery was low, and the green light came on for a few seconds, then went off and my MBP said I had a low battery while charger was connected. The charger no longer works, and I am worried that the overheated and failed charger might have damaged something inside my MBP due to heat. What do you recommend? I am past my warranty, as this MBP is 2 years old.

Well, the fact that it didn't catch fire and burn down your house can be considered a Good Thing, in retrospective...
For starters, a new charger will be inevitably in your shopping list. But do make sure the female connector on the Mac, where the MagSafe plugs in, is still intact, not heat damaged, and the contact pads clean and bright. Other than that and suggesting you do an Apple Hardware Test while the battery holds out, can't think of anything else without involving cost. You may have to pay for a diagnosis, if nothing else.
Bet you're now kicking yourself for thinking you were "saving" by not purchasing AppleCare back then....

Yet Another 17" MBP Overheating Saga

I've seen all the chatter on the discussion forums regarding overheating and decided I should post my experience thus far.
I purchased my MBP 17" on July 19th 2006 and fell in love instantly. It's wonderful. However, shortly thereafter, I noticed the area above the "Function keys" and the bottom of the computer getting extremely hot. Like, too hot to touch. I don't need a widget or "CoreDuoTemp" to tell me what my brain already knows; this computer is almost too hot to touch at times.
I run Photoshop CS2 on a daily basis, as well as iChat and a few other programs simultaneously. I understand that being an inch thick, with a hot processor and constructed of aluminum can equal a warm computer, but the heat from my MBP was starting to get ridiculous.
So, I call Apple Care and was told to check the Activity Monitor for any process that may have been "off to the races" with my notebook. There were none. I was asked if it made any difference if the AC power was plugged in.....there's no difference. I was then told, and I'm not making this up, that, "Heat is a subjective term." I laughed and said, ok....but when you touch something hot, how else can it be explained? If you pick up a warm coffee mug or touch a HOT stove, it doesn't take much for your brain to tell you that something is hot versus warm. I'm 31 and know the difference between a normally functioning WARM computer and an outrageously HOT notebook that makes my hands swell when I type on it. It's a no brainer. Hot = Hot. Period. It's not normal. The technician and I shared a laugh (I'm never belligerent) and I was told to make an appointment to visit a Genius in a retail store.
The following day, I meet up with a Genius and he was quickly able to get my computer hot, even in the somewhat chilly Mac Store. He opened up the terminal and he appeared to have started some sort of loop that printed out 'Y' to keep the processor busy. He also opened quite a few apps (chess, photoshop, illustrator, itunes, ichat) and was able to reproduce the problem easily. It was then that I was told that my computer would need to go away for service. It would be back in 5-7 days.
To Apple's credit, my computer arrived back in 7 days, even with the Labor Day holiday thrown in there. I was stoked. I did a happy dance. I pulled it out and lavished affection upon it and got right back to work. But as I'm sitting there working in Photoshop again (like I do every day) it starts warming up.....then, it's HOT again. I read the repair notes and see that they performed the following services:
593-0326 CBL, TEMP SNSR, RT FAN, M9
593-0358 CBL, TEMP SNSR, GPU, M9
603-8485 FAN ASSY, LT, M9
603-8486 FAN ASSY, RT, M9
I'm a little miffed that the parts were replaced, yet the machine wasn't fully tested before being sent back to me. This is not hard to reproduce. If a Genius can make my computer heat up in under 30 seconds, why are the technicians not doing the same thing? It's sloppy.
Anyway, I called Apple Care again (just a few minutes ago actually) and I was asked the same questions again. This time though, the technician suggested I try to reset the power module by powering off my notebook and then removing the battery. Once that was done, I was to hold down the Power button for 5 seconds. I reinstalled the battery and brought my machine back up. When the computer came back up, I opened Photoshop and a bunch of other apps and still my computer is hot. I was told I could take it back to a retail store (not going to happen again as it's a waste of my time) or they could arrange for a box to be sent to me again for repairs, but of course, I have to get back on hold for 30 minutes before I can initiate that course of action again.
A friend had mentioned to me that Photoshop is still not quite "tuned" to the new Intel chipsets and that it could make excess heat for my notebook, but I'm able to recreate this issue without Photoshop running. Chess usually does the trick nicely. The 'sjeng' process makes the processor work pretty hard and my machine starts getting nice and warm.
But, to wit, my computer will be going back to Apple AGAIN in the next few days. I wish there were clear answers to this problem. I asked the technician I spoke with if they've received many calls regarding this problem and he mentioned they haven't, which I find odd.
Update: Called Apple Care again just now to setup my second round of repairs, get a box, etc. The first technician asked that I speak with a product specialist, so I waited for a bit and then he came on. I was asked a bunch of similar questions and then he set my computer up for service again. I'm just waiting for a box to arrive, it should be here tomorrow.
I'll update when I get my MBP again.
I miss it already.
MBP 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Cstick,
I went through similar issues with my MacBook Pro. The ultimate solution did not rely on Apple, but on self-service. Internally speaking, your MBP has a well-designed cooling system that places the CPU (primary heat source, on the back left), northbridge (back center), and GPU (secondary heat source, back right) parallel, along which a heatpipe assembly runs directly across those. At the ends of those heatpipes are copper heatsinks with a flat fan blowing air directly through the heatsink.
It's an excellent design, sucking heat away from the center, out to the heatsinks, and shooting it out the single, difficult-to-block vent in the back, and drawing air in from the keyboard region. Pretty crafty.
In the design of this, when you observe it, you see thermal sensors taped or glued to the bottom of the chassis and to the heatpipe itself. These temperature sensors are for fan regulation purposes. While the CPU has internal temperature measurement, the GPU from ATI I don't belive does - and naturally, neither does the Intel northbridge. To effectively measure the temperature of the system's hot components, the temperature sensors are employed. Unfortunately however, the sensor on the heatpipe that primarily controls the fans is on the far far outside, roughly halfway between the ATI GPU and the heatsink nearest to it.
If you'll imagine along with me, this means that the fans are basing their speed on measurements being taken from a location the farthest away from the primary heat source as possible, and in addition, close to a heatsink, which is cooling the heat, providing lower temperature readings. Optimally speaking, it would have been better to put the sensor in the center between the CPU and GPU, or at least on the inner section close by the GPU. This is not the case however, and is largely why the system is so very slow to queue up fan speed when the CPU hits high load.
In addition, some feel MBPs sometimes employ too much thermal paste, causing issues - I think this issue has been mostly resolved by now, and wasn't an issue on my initial unit.
Ultimately, disconnecting the thermal sensor located on the heatpipe is an affable solution, as this would kick the fans into full gear 100% of the time, resulting in temperatures of 88F idle, and ~140F under load. I'm pretty sure Apple would cry foul at that sort of chassis opening and internal tooling, so the above is mostly for your information.

At what temperature should I start worrying about my MBP overheating? Anytime I do video or most java stuff, it cranks up to about 180

15" 2007 MBP
I know these tend to run hot, but when it burns on the touch, I'm concerned something is overheating. Other than a dead battery (that I'm replacing), EVERYTHING else about the machine runs great. Should I be concerned, or just pay extra attention to providing free flow of air around the underside of machine and the fan output?
Thanks!
-Shane

You're my personal genius bar! Yes, the CPU is running hot. I have the iStat Nano widget and it lists CPU, GPU Diode, GPU Heatsink, Heatsink 1, and Heatskink 2 all listed separately but within about 10ºF of one another. Average temp hovers around 115ºF, but 180ºF is about as hot as it gets. Seems outrageous to me, but I'll take your word if that is perfectly normal for some processes.
Thanks for your help tonight!

MBP 2012 Retina GPU Overheating or Faulty

Hi everyone looking for some help and trouble shooting here. I bought this MBP off of kijiji knowing full well that it had problems. The guy had just taken it to the Apple Store and they quoted him a price for a new logic board and he didn't want to pay it so he decided to sell it as is.
The specs are MacBook Pro 15" Retina 2.3 GHz i7 16 GB of ram, Intel HD Graphics 4000 and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.
When I got it home I turned it on and it started fine, I installed Mavericks and when that was done my fans were at full speed and it was really hot on the bottom. I continue to boot into it and the crashes to a black screen with my backlit keyboard is still on but I had to do a hard reset. After several more tries and crashes I decided to open the back cover to see if it was dusty. When I did I saw that the whole machine was CLOGGED with dust so obviously over heating. I cleaned it all and restarted. It then worked good as a web surfing laptop but when I would start any graphic intensive program it crashed to the same black screen. Still the bottom was very hot but SMC fan control said before the crash the temp was around 95C which is normal from what i have been reading. As a last effort I decided to get some thermal paste and try. I applied it and started it up. works better then before Photoshop and Final Cut X work great without crashing, but if I run a GPU tress test it crashes every time. The decrease in crashes leads me to believe it's and overheating issue, but it's still crashing when I stress the machine I have also read that these machines have a faulty GPU.I have voided the warrantee so no taking it to Apple. I have included the error report. Any suggestions or help? Thanks a lot!

It installed fine! I'm on a mid 2012 rMBP 15" which I think is the same as yours and my Windows 8.1 system is running in Bootcamp.

MBP 13 overheating & shutting down

My MBP 13 (purchased brand new in August) has recently been overheating.
On both occasions the overheating occurred when the computer should have been in sleep mode. On the first occasion it had been put to sleep, and then when I pulled it out of my backpack a few hours later it was scorching hot. I let it cool down and it eventually came back on, but this was hours later. The second occasion I also put it to sleep and then set it on the floor only to have it not turn on an hour later.
I understand now that in both instances it wasn't in a context where it could easily cool down. But, should it be overheating when its in sleep mode?

It's not overheating in sleep mode — it can't generate enough heat in sleep mode even to be warm to the touch. It's either not actually going to sleep at all (in which case the sleep light won't be pulsing), or else it's waking up while closed and bagged, and overheating because it can't cool itself.
With the computer running, close its display. Watch the sleep light. When it starts pulsing, the machine is asleep. Until the light pulses, it's not asleep, even if the display is closed. If the light is on steadily, but not pulsing, the display is asleep but the computer isn't. Never put the computer into a case or backpack until it's asleep with the light pulsing or shut down.

MBP Retina Overheating

I'm looking at MBP with Retina, but have seen a lot of people having issues with overheating. Has Apple addressed this?

Heat that is generated in a MBP is a function of the activity that is being performed at a given moment. Text editing and light web browsing will result in very modest temperature. Video, Skype and other CPU intensive applications will create a lot of internal heat, at times exceeding 100 c.
Now if the temperature start exceeding previously determined levels, there are sensors that will initiate a shutdown so that a MBP will no commit Hari Kari. One of the reasons that MBPs have a reputation of being 'hot' is the aluminum case. One must understand that it it part of the thermal dissipation scheme which helps in keeping the internal temperatures at reasonable levels. A plastic case would tend to be an insulator thus confining the heat internally and putting more heat stress on the internal components.
Ciao.

MBP overheating -bad-

I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet that says what a good temperature for a MBP is, but I feel like mine is ridiculously overheating. I -do- play World of Warcraft, which is the -only- game I play on this computer. I installed one of those programs that tells you how hot your computer is, and it peaked at 201 degrees Fahrenheit.
What do I do? I don't want anything to fry. It hasn't shut off or anything, and I changed the settings on that program so the fan runs a little faster in order to keep my computer cool.
I have a genius appt on Monday, but is there anything I should try to keep it cool until then? I don't have AppleCare anymore, so I'm terrified of having to replace something.

This seems to have something to do with your last post on Fan Noise:

You were advised there to run the Hardware Test . . .
If you can't do that, then don't play WOW on there til after Monday.
What happens when you shut it down and wait 5 minutes or so? Does it cool down?

MBP overheating causing body warping!

I have been experiencing some problems with my 10 month old 15" Macbook Pro. I have been aware of the computer heating up for the past couple months and I just thought it was a universal problem with MBP's. Howeever in the past week I just noticed that my screen no longer closes and locks. It is warped so that the screen no longer lays flat when shut. Also if you eyeball the side that the CD drive is on you can see that there is serious warping along the body. My only guess for this is the extreme overheating. In the past week the MBP has been acting up and I have to shut it off after about 2 hours of use to cool it off. I just got back from the Apple Store Genius bar to ask their opinion and they have never seen anything like this before. They listed a bunch of repairs they could try, but the bottom line is they would need my MBP for 48hours minimum. Which is impossible as I have Midterms coming up and I use it for my small business as well. I then got in touch with customer relations and they said they would not replace the computer without going through all of the repairs recommended by the Genius Bar.
Long story short, I am just wondering if anyone out there has experienced anything like this and if anyone has any suggestions.
I'm Screwed as it stands right now

I am sorry to have to say it, but they are lying.
The Apple Store has seen this before. It has been well documented.
They will try to say the issue is cosmetic.
A warped machine that does not close, and wobbles when you type, does not have a cosmetic problem. It has a manufacturing defect.
Keep calling and complaining.
The machines started warping when Apple switched from Titanium to Aluminum enclosures.
I thought this problem had been fixed until I got my MacBook Pro less than a month ago, and discovered it was warping just a few days ago.

MBP Overheating / Pubsub Agent?

I've recently done an erase and install of 10.5 on my MBP and ever since it has been overheating frequently and the fan is spinning almost constantly. Usually I can solve this by putting it to sleep but that doesn't always solve it.
In activity monitor, it currently shows "Pubsub Agent" is using 98% of the CPU. Could that be my culprit? Anything else I can try to fix the problem?

Yes, it can. Try 'force quitting' the process in your Activity Monitor.
