Normal Operating Temp. for MBP running windows

Hi,
Does anybody know what the normal operating temperature for a mbp 2.5, running xp professional is?
The load is just normal office stuff, eclipse, tomcat, explorer..
I've installed speedfan to monitor the temp, it normally stays around 61 C
This seems high to me.
Anybody know what the official normal temp is.
Cheers....

I found temps were generally much higher when running windows. The fans kicked in much later than i would have liked. I was running vista not xp.
I found if i ran smcFanControl (set to 3000rpm) in OS X then reboot into windows the fans would retain the new settings and windows would run a lot cooler.
Hope it helps a bit.

  • What is a normal operating temp for MBP

    My MBP (2.33GHz/3GB RAM) is huffing and puffing when I'm running a lot of apps. I installed a temp widget and its been above 160 farenheit and is typically at 130-140 degrees normally. This strikes me as a bit high. I've seen a few rumblings of heat issues, but nothing concrete nor anything indicating what a normal temp is.
    thoughts, resources, ideas?
    Thanks
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    The range of temperature will probably be from around 30ºC (sleeping) to 85ºC depending upon CPU load. Thermal shut-off should occur at 125ºC. The fans idle at 2,000 RPM and have a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM. The fans' speed will increase as the core temperature rises in order to cool the computer.
    Your computer seems to be operating within nominal parameters.

  • Normal operating temps. for MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?

    Does anyone know where I can find a chart or a list of normal operating temps. for the MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?
    I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks for any help.

    I think Hardware Monitor would tell you what and may have a database.
    Intel obviously. Just look up the processor for TCASE and TJMAX
    More interested in what YOURS are and FBDIMM temps are often the most helpful.
    Considering how many people are upgrading theirs to X5355s, redoing thermal paste, there is a lot of info out there.

  • What are the normal operating temps for a G5 Quad Core Power Mac Tower?

    I asked this within another thread but I am afraid it will get buried and think it deserves its own item.
    I just downloaded Temperature Monitor and have been looking at the data. I have no idea how to interpret the figures and there are no listings of specified upper and lower limits even though there is an area where those numbers should go.
    The numbers are constantly in flux, going up and down a degree or two but here is a recent example from a screenshot taken while I was running WORD (but not working on any document), Terminal, Apple Mail, Firefox (two windows open), Temperature Monitor, Preview, Dashboard and Finder:
    Air Tunnel 99.5 degrees F
    Air Tunnel Heatsink 92.8 degrees F
    CPU A Core 1 Diode 107.5 degrees F
    CPU A Core 2 Diode 107.8 degrees F
    CPU B Core 1 Diode 108.0 degrees F
    CPU B Core 2 Diode 111.5 degrees F
    Drive Bay 87.8 degrees F
    Graphics processor chip 131.0 degrees F
    Main Logic Board Air Inlet --- (this is always missing)
    Main Logic Board Backside 108.7 degrees F
    Memory Controller Diode 133.9 degrees F
    SMART Disk WDC WD2500JS-41M.... 104.0 degrees F.
    The icon for the program, in the dock, gives me an ever changing number that is perhaps an overall reading - an average. Right now the number is 106.4 degrees F (taken some minutes after the screenshot providing the above data). Always in flux.
    Do any of these temps look alarming? And HOW and WHERE do I find out what the temperatures SHOULD be?
    PS I have APPLE RAM.

    If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press Apple+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth column of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
    Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.

  • What is the normal operating temp for a 2007 iMac

    just wondering what it should be around since i never cleaned it out yet.
    heres some numbers
    current room temp 82C
    CPU a Heatsink 53C
    CPU core 1 52C
    core 2 54C
    display 49C
    graphics processor chip 1 63C

    power supply position 1 80C
    smart disk wdc wd3200aajs-40 49C
    wireless module 58C

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Early 2009, 24" iMac: What are normal operating temps?

    My iMac overheats and automatically shuts down frequently.  Sometimes, just watching a movie on Quicktime causes the CPU to top 80C and cause a shutdown.  Fans never run faster than 3500-3600rpm.
    Another thing that I noticed, is that the hiutil process runs twice a day using 100% of my processor, and always causes an overheat and shurtdown.
    Can anyone direct me to normal operating temps for this model iMac, or advise what may be worng?
    This sreenshot displays temps (Celcius) with only Safari running.  With uTorrent running (not actually feeding peers), and Quicktime, I get an overheat.

    Your temps are somewhat high, but still within acceptable levels.
    I would be more comfortable seeing many of the temps in the 40 degree Celsius range.
    Your CPU temps are on the high side and probably why your CPU fans are running high.
    When was the last time you clear out any of the dust, lint and fine dirt particles from your iMac.
    IF you've never done this, you need to completely unplug your iMac, find a heavy blanket or towel to lay your iMac, face down on the soft material. Using a special electronics vacuum, a portable, plug in vacuum or standardnhiuse vacuum with hose and attchments, using either the bare hose end or crvice tool, carefully and slowly vacuum all air intake and exhaust vents, openings and all of the ports to get rid of as much fine dust, dirt and lint as possible.
    Do not use a vacuum attachment with brushes. This could cause a problem with random static charges.
    Once this is done, re-setup your iMac, plug all your peripherals in and then do an SMC reset by plugging in your iMac to power. Wait 5 seconds, then power up your iMac.
    Then report back here with any changes in temps.

  • What is a normal operating temperature for a 15" MBP 2.33 duel?

    i know this has been beaten to death, but i never can find what is considered to be a "normal operating temperature" for the MBP.
    mac book pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    An MBP C2D should operate from 50ºC through to about 85ºC. I find mine averages in the low 50's however I don't do a lot on it. Anything that really requires processing gets done on my Mac Pro. It really comes down to how hard, or not, you push the processors.
    Comparitively I find that it generally runs cooler than the PowerBook G4 1.25GHz it replaced however it does get hotter under maximum load. It just comes down to what you do with your MBP. You've basically asked "how long is a piece of string".

  • Normal operating temp

    Hi all,
    Quick question. What's the normal operating temp of a Powerbook G4 (I believe I have the FW 800 model) after it's been running for a while? Mine gets particularly hot (140 F according to the SysStat widget) and it's just occuring to me that perhaps my fan is broken. Is there anyway I can tell if the fan is broken? Thanks.

    Hi Elizabeth..
    You can do the hardware check if you think that your fan is too laud. But 140F is completly normal if you PB is working hard. I also posted similar post here when I got my PB, but then some guy wrote that it's normal when the machine is used for long time and with high load. He also wrote that Apple somewhere claims that it will never go over 143F or something like that.... anyways when I monitored mine it realy didn't exceed that number he wrote... so you dont have to worry... I use my PB for music production (at least trying to make someting and it is constantly hot and also sometimes in bad ventilated places and in a year of useage I never had a single problem with it.

  • Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

    Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
    HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
    There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
    inOS:
    An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
    Windows Update:
    There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
    HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
    Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
    * Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.

  • Bluetooth for MBP with Windows 7 x32

    Hello, I have a mid 2012 MBP with a bootcamp 4.0 partition with 32 bit Windows 7 on it. Everything worked perfectly right from the time of installation except bluetooth. I am trying to connect to my Rocketfish bluetooth headphones. The OSX sides connects flawlessly every time, but Windows will recognize and add the device, but is unable to connect to the device. I have done some research on this problem and most people suggest various ways of installing drivers. However, all the solutions I have tried thus far, in particular the Toshiba bluetooth drivers, do not seem to work for a 32 bit Windows. I was wondering if anyone had a solution for this for a 32 bit version?

    Iamtheone wrote:
    thank you Kay. I have installed the new drivers properly. My audio problem is fixed, however I am still getting 3.9 hours of battery life using windows, while on the mac os, I can get close to 7. Can anyone tell me anything I can do to fix this or do I have to wait for the compatible update that apple will release soon?
    thanks
    Different software can produce very different charge life times, Iamtheone. It may simply relate to different demands placed on processor and HD use by the software you are using under bootcamp when compared to the software being used under OSX. Perhaps it is even simply a measure of the different operating efficiency (power wise) of Windows and OSX 10.6?
    What software are you typically using when running bootcamp?

  • How to install OS X on MBP running Windows 7?

    i purchased an early 2011 MBP 13.3. it is running windows 7. i have the OS X installation discs. is there anything i can do to reinstall OS X without getting rid of windows 7? i do not particularly need windows 7, but since it is there, i might as well keep it.

    Hmmmm...
    That's a new one.
    When you open Disk Utility, how many partitions does it show?
    Does the Windows partition show the whole disk capacity?
    If you have two partitions still and the empty one is larger then the WIndows one then you should be able to just reinstall the Mac OS. Just make sure you pick the right partition when the installer ask's you which one.
    There are free backup software for the windows side if you want to make sure nothing happens, just Yahoo/Google it. WinClone is out of date and may not work any more so use at your own risk.

  • What is "normal' operation noise for MacBook Pro's

    Hi guys, could somebody inform me of what is considered "normal" operation noise when the MacBook Pro is in use? I purchased my first Mac 2wks ago & have already gone through 2!! The first one had battery issues so they just gave me a new one (very nice of them) & the second one had optical drive issues which again they issued me a new one. The third one now, which is only 3days old, keeps making some sort of slight static noise or sounds like optical drive is trying to read a disc or something every time I open an application & when surfing the net & switching through pages. It sounds like its coming from the middle right hand side. It's not that loud as it can only be heard when I'm in the library or when I'm in a moderate to quiet room. Now, rather than me going in again to the Apple Store & making a fool of myself just wanted some insight of how these machines run/sound? Any info would be great....Thanks

    Well, took it to Apple, they gave me now my fourth MacBook Pro.
    Apparently the noises weren't normal but the glass like sound is the SMS sensor - so thats normal. The new one now which I got yesterday sounds better except now every time I wake it from sleep or turn it on after shutdown the fans go on high speed & make a really loud noise which only lasts for a few seconds??
    The other 3 I had did not do this...so, am I just having bad luck or is every mac different when waking?
