Normal temperature - rpm under stress?

Hi, I am new to mac and have found a lot of forum posts about the new macbook pro freezing/fans spinning like crazy when under stress. I have a But I could not find one information: what is the normal level of temperature and fan spinning when under stress? I know, this might sound like a newbie question, but I'm converting a 2h movie from .avi to .flv in adobe media encoder cs5, and from the beginning to the end (it took about 30minutes) according to smcFanControl the temperature rose to 85-90°C and fans spin between 5000-6000 rpm. Is that a lot or not? Should I worry and return the mac?
Sorry if this information is somewhere else on the forum, but when posts have hundreds of pages it's kinda impossible to find this kind of information..
thank you!
Charlie.

That's normal and no cause for alarm.

  • Macbook Pro getting really hot and loud under stress.

    To put it simply, i use my macbook pro for game development. Some of the programs/games i run on it are high quality and make my macbook pro (with a 750M installed) incredibly hot. Judging from the app (iStat) the average RPM's of the fans are around 2000rpm. When i have to render something, the macbook starts to get really really hot, and the fans start getting really loud. I checked the fans RPM and it shows that they are going at 6000rpm.
    The average temperature when not doing things of the CPU and other components is around 35-50 degrees celcius. When i'm working and it has to render something, and i have to play/test my creation the temperatures go up to around 90 degrees celcius.
    Is this safe? I don't want the inside of my brand new laptop to melt under the stress. Keep in mind, i bought one of these because it was suggested that mac's are the better option for graphics and design rather than PC.
    If you look at the picture and see that my OS is not Yosemite, that is because i've seen many bad reviews that it can cause overheating. I'm trying to prevent that as much as possible with the workload i have to work with.
    Thanks for any help possible.

    I just got mine a week or two ago and I also have noticed how loud and hot mine gets. Mine also has the GT 750. The heat is normal enough but how loud it gets is very annoying.
    I think I know why its so loud but cant say for sure. I think its one of those fans on the gpu with side fins rather than a normal fan. Ive had graphics cards before with those fans and they are louder than the normal fans when under load. Now I go for a card that has a couple of larger "normal fans" to keep it cool. Also these side fin fans would be better for a laptop as they will shoot the hot air directly out the back.
    Im still not sure why the fan spins so fast when playing a simple game. Its understandable with a more demanding game.
    Hopefully you know what I mean though im not explaining it that well.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl (w/ Intel Core i5 and ATI GPU): Which is its normal temperature?

    Hello,
    I have a question about HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl (w/ Intel Core i5 and ATI GPU):
    Which is its normal temperature?
    Environment: 24 °C (Celcius)
    HWMonitor and Real Temp agrees with the numbers find below.
    The two CPU Cores starts at 37 °C and in about an hour are at 53 °C, with CPU usage under 10%.
    The GPU starts at 34 °C and easly goes to 57 °C, with some peaks at 72 °C
    Regarding "Hewlett-Packard 144B": (under low/idle CPU usage)
    TZ01: starts at 40 °C and very fast goes to 55 °C or 65 °C (and more, under CPU load)
    PCH starts at 59 °C and very fast goes to 76 °C (and stays there)
    GMCH: starts at 40 °C and very fast goes to 55 °C or 65 °C
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (TMPIN0): Starts at 34 °C and easily goes and stays at 57-58 °C
    Note: I'm also using a cooler (two fans, under its base)
    If I run Real Temp (v. 3.6) "Sensor Test", the cores goes up to 100 °C , and even a bit more.
    Which is the normal / expected behavior / operational range?
    Steady PCH at 76 °C is it normal?
    TZ01, GMCH at 55 - 65 °C is it normal?
    i5 Cores at 55 °C is it normal? (and easily going to 70 °C or more)
    GPU (ATI) at 57 °C is it normal?
    is it normal to climb up to 100-105 °C under a 5 minutes high CPU usage operation?
    Thanks!

    i roll back to bios F.25 which is the older version of bios that support my device but still suffering from same D90 system overheating error.
    i can't contact hp support or send it to offical hp center currently coz i am from Egypt and i live in far town

  • 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.

  • Normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

    Hi, what is the normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT when on notebook I use only word, or some programs, no play games.

    Quote from: Mike on 01-February-10, 11:02:34
    normal depends on the environment, the ambient temperature.  Is it hot where you use it?  Do you use it on a hard surface or place it directly on your lap or some cloth type surface.  There are quite a number of variables.  What temperatures are you noticing?
    if I work with word or use internet the temperature is about 55*C

  • Is this normal temperatures after 1 minute of gaming?

    Hi HP. I just want to know if this is normal temperatures after about 1 minute of gaming? 

    Hmmm that is odd.
    I'll check my system for the speed of the GPU, but I believe it's ramping up.
    Worst case is that the thermals are a bit off inside the system.
    This could be a screw being a bit loose or missing altogether. (I'm sure the thermal grease is fine as that isn't done by hand. )
    You can check this yourself, but the main problem is the rubber foot. Once it's off, it's not easy to get back on.

  • Decision Service - Failure under stress

    After a recommendation from an Oracle consultant, we have decided to use the new Decision engine in 10.1.3.1 instead of using BPEL code to do some business rules.
    So, we created a simple rule using the rules author and then deployed this onto WebDAV. We then added a decision service to call this rule, all good so far....
    We then ran this from the BPEL Console, and it works fine.
    However, when we place this under stress using the Stress Test tool it fails with about 2 requests in 5.
    On disectiing the results from the BPEL audit, it looks to me as if the decision engine is single threaded, which is no use at all in our high throughput environment
    My question is, has anyone actually deployed this experiencing the same issues?
    The error we receive is :
    <summary>exception on JaxRpc invoke:
    start fault message:
    Internal Server Error (Caught exception while handling request:
    java.lang.NullPointerException)
    :end fault message</summary>
    Many thanks
    Pete

    Hi,
    I am using oracle business rules with WEBDAV configuration for linux.
    The rules are present in a linux box 10.1.3.3.0. (Box1)
    The BPEL process with a decision service is deployed in another linux SOA Server 10.1.3.1.0 (Box2) and its conencting to the rule engine of Box1 using WEBDAV (not file based.)
    Unlike file based there is not a local copy of repository file in j2ee/home/applications/rules_default_Invoke../
    If any rule is changed in Box 1 the BPEL process in box 2 is not reflecting the change ,however if the BPEL process is redeployed the chanage is again visible.
    Please let me know is there any configuration I need to change or is this a bug.
    Note - As already mentioned the patch is present for 10.1.3.3.0 (i.e box 1) but still this bug is present.
    Please let me know any pointers to proceed.
    Best Regards

  • What are the normal temperatures for CPU, Battery & Memory?

    I am just curious as to what the normal temperatures for the CPU top, memory/power and battery are. Thanks in advance for the help!!!

  • Why doesn't MBP return to its normal temperature after I turn off a heavy program?

    Hello there, I've noticed that my new MacBook Pro runs at a very cool temperature while browsing websites and doing general activities.  After I open up one of my work programs such as After Effects, Nuke, Maya, it will start up to heat up considerably on the left top corner, which is to my expectations.  Now the problem here is that it does not cool down to its normal temperature after I have shut down all my work programs, the temperature remains as high as if the programs were still open and occupying CPU.  Can someone help me with this problem before I take my MBP to a Apple Store for a fix?
    Thanks lots!

    You likely have a run away process from one of your third party programs that is not exiting or quitting, therefore hogging CPU cycles.
    To determine this, reboot the machine, open your Activity Monitor and click "all processes" and sort by clicking on "CPU" this will make the processes taking the most cycles pop to the top.
    now open your third party programs one at a time and get familiar with their processes, when you find the one process that appeared and taking huge CPU even after you've quit the program you have found your source.
    Update this program or contact the developer for a explanation.
    sometimes it will be a Apple process, which a OS X Overwrite should hopefully fix

  • How are "normal" temperatures on macbook air?

    How are "normal" temperatures on macbook air?, because during gaming i have 90ºC+ (cpu) and 6500rmp (fan).
    the macbook air is new (2 weeks), and have the last version of SMC (2.5f7)
    the games are: Diablo 3, Killing floor, starcraft 2, and others. (on minimun settings)

    Those games are highly likely to produce those conditions of the temp and fan speed. The Air is not a gaming rig, but still fairly usable with many popular titles. It will run warm though.

  • Hp G6s normal temperature

    I want to buy Hp g6s with intel core i3 2330m and intel HD graphics 3000 and I want to know what is the normal temperature for this cpu, I don't want the laptop for hard gaming,maybe just need for speed world.
    Anyways can anyone tell me the normal temperature of this laptop?

    The numbers you describe are high but not deadly high.
    Here are some online tips:
    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/keep-laptop-cool-172740363.html
    These suggestions are very generic. Try bending out a paperclip and sticking it in the grille to hold the blades. Then blow in some strong compressed air and see if dust flies out. If none of this works, it might help to open the laptop and manually clean out the fan area and reseat the fan/heatsink with new thermal paste. Post back if you want specific instructions on that. If the fan spins faster as the heat increases and then slows down as it cools off and makes no grinding or other weird noise it is probably OK.

  • Which is the normal temperature of operation of the a Macbook pro 13" 2.4 GHZ core duo i5 500GB hard disk?

    which is the normal temperature of operation of the a Macbook pro 13" 2.4 GHZ core duo i5 500GB hard disk? due to my laptop is very hot, arrives to 89º celcius, when I am playing a game and normal when I am internet, is of 63º to 73

    That's too hot, for just Internet.
    I can see if you just stopped playing a 3D game and then went to use the Internet you would get that sort of temps.
    Try booting a cold machine, then only surfing the web, if you get 63-73 C temps, something is wrong, it should be 40-45 C.
    The integrated graphics machines are hot, but yours seems too hot.
    Perform a hardware check, if it says something, write it down and make a appointment

  • Is my t420s running at a normal temperature?

    I just purchased a used thinkpad t420s and I was wondering if it's overheating or running at the correct temperature. The CPU idles in the mid to low 50's (Celsius) and and will top out at 95 Celsius running prime 95. While running a virus scan and watching a YouTube video the chip is running in the high 80's. Is this normal? According to Intel, the max temp allowed is 100 Celsius. I have all of the power settings set for maximum performance. Here is a link to my chip http://ark.intel.com/products/52231/Intel-Core-i7-2620M-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz
    I sould mention that using TPFC.63 I always crank the fan up higher then the bios will control them, So I'm guessing the teps are normal, because the bios would probably spool the fans to full power if the system was about to shut down from overheating.
    Solved!

    Hi Daniel250,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with System over heating on your ThinkPad T420s.
    The normal temperature for CPU at 72 centigrade and GPU at 68 centigrade is in the safe temperature range.
    If you feel that your laptop is warmer than usual, do clean the vents and fan via using a pump blower to remove the dust particles stuck in the vents and it also maybe with the thermal paste between your heat sink and the processor core may have been used up. You may consider getting some good thermal paste and apply over the processor core to ensure best heat transfer property
    Hope this helps.
