Operating temperature high?

I downloaded smcFancontrol and Istat Nano and it's telling me that my current operation Temperature is 52C (125F). On the Macbook pro website it's saying that the operating temperature is  50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C).
Could my macbook pro be overheating?   Also i have no backround programs running just Firefox. My room temperature is at 25C (77F).

Check Activity Monitor and see if there are any programs using the CPU intensively when they shouldn't be.

  • High netbook operating temperature

    good day...
    is 70-75 degrees celcius normal temperature for netbook? i think it is very high operating temperature.  
    my unit is HP mini 210-1099ee.

    Hi,
    From my view, it's a litte bit high. My daughter's mini 210 has never run at that hot. Please check ventilation around it.

  • HT201678 How can the safe recommended operating temperature be only up to 95F when it is designed to fit into a pocket next to the body and the body can be at 98.6F or higher?

    How can the safe recommended operating temperature be only up to 95F when it is designed to fit into a pocket next to the body and the body can be at 98.6F or higher?

    98.6F is the approximate average internal temperature of the human body. It is not the external temperature. Do not insert your phone into any bodily orifice or carry it for long periods of time in your armpit and you'll be fine.

  • G4 Operating Temperature

    Hi,
    I use my G4 for Recording and have it in an ISO BOX.
    The ISO BOX has cooling fans on the back to suck out the heat.
    There is a temperature display on the front.
    I saw that the Operating Temperature for the G4 is between 50 degrees and 95 degrees F.
    When I have my G4 in the ISO BOX the G4 cooling fan goes into high gear and gets pretty loud like its working hard to cool itself. This is somewhere when the temperature is around 80-90 degrees F.
    Is this a very bad thing to leave it running for long periods of time like 12 hours or will it be safe as long as the inside temperature of the box stays between 70 to 95 degrees F even with the G4 fan running hard?
    Thanks.

    Hello! I doubt that the temperature is too high although heat is the killer of electronic devices. 95 degrees is the upper range of the operating temperature. The easiest way to reduce this (although not inexpensive) is to reduce the room temp. I have to run my air conditioning all year long because of my 8-10 computers all running 24/7/365. Tom

  • Safe operating temperatures for macbook

  • Operating temperatures

    I recently replaced the fan on my PBG412 1.5Ghz.
    Can someone tell me what are the operating temperatures
    when the PB is warm (15min) and watching a video from youtube (High CPU use)?
    Regards

    Does your fan actually go on at 60C, or just spins faster at 60?
    In my experience I have found that sometimes the fan is running very slowly and
    barely audible. The only way to find out is by putting your hand in front of the air vent.
    When the fan runs faster, then I also usually hear it.
    Regards

  • Operating temperatures on Macbook Pro 15" (Mid-2009)?

    Hello people. I have a quick inquiry. I searched google and there were no definite answers regarding this issue, it's all a matter of opinion to many people. What is the safe range for operating temperatures for a 15" Macbook Pro (mid-2009)? Before having installed SMCFanControl, my temperatures ranged in the mid-high-60's (degrees Celsius) when doing intensive work (itunes, google chrome, playing CS: Source on Steam for Mac, Transmission).
    After installing SMCFanControl and cranking up the fans to a 3700rpm my temp is now 43-46 degrees C. Is that at all normal/safe?
    Sorry I'm just used to my old custom-built PC were my temps are in the mid-30's C. My MacPro 6-core is also about the same, mid-30's C.

    I do not remember the exact specs, but if you go to Intel's web site you can look up the design specs for the mobile core-2-duo cpu's. They have a critical operating temp of 100 degrees centigrade (or very close to thereabouts, somewhere between 100 and 105 as I recall).
    So, running at 60 degrees is well within the designed operating specs for the chips. My MBP routinely will get up to 80-85 degrees under intense load (number crunching in R for example) and it seems no worse for wear after nearly a year and half of such use.
    Your MacPro has much larger cpu heat sinks (since it can) as well as a much larger volume of airflow past them. Even so, start pushing all your cores to 100% with some massively RAM intensive applications, and even it's temps will rise quite a bit (I used to see my work 8-core Xeon MacPro get up into the 70-80 degree range under really heavy load).
    And, as mentioned, your machine has thermal shutdown features built into it and monitors several key components internally. Intel designs their mobile chips for higher thermal stress, and they also publish specs and guidelines for manufacturers to follow when installing them in their system designs (eg. air flow, heat sink specs and so forth).

  • FP1601 connection using optic fibber & operating temperatures

    Hello,
    I’m considering the installation of a system for monitoring and control a thermal storage system in a solar collector field using Fieldpoint for measuring temperatures, fluid flow, pressures, etc. The instruments and equipment we want to control and monitor are more than 300 m apart from our main control room. I’m considering two possibilities to connect the PC dedicated to this task, one is the use of Fieldpoint network module FP-1601 (Ethernet) and the other is the module FP-1001 (RS-485). We would prefer to use FP-1601 but then the maximum Ethernet segment length is 100 m. I don’t know if it is possible to change from copper wiring to optic fibber using a medium converter, then the maximum length segment will be limited to 2 km or longer. Two medium converters will be necessary, one close to the PC and one close to the Ethernet network module.  Other possibility it could be the use of a wireless LAN but I don’t know if it would be a better option and cheaper. 
    But related the module FP-1601 I’m worried about its operating temperature range (0 to 55ºC), whereas the FP-1001 has a similar range to I/O modules (-40 to 70ºC). For us, the operating temperature is something crucial because the hardware is going to be mounted in a solar field, inside cabinets and we are not sure if it’s recommendable or not the use of air conditioning for this hardware.
    Could someone give me any inputs about these questions?
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Laguti 

    You can use a media convertor to extend the minimum distance as you describe, you will need to watch things like bending radius on the fibres.
    Anyway if you put a couple of hubs in you could get 300m using copper and ethernet.
    device ----100m ---- hub ---- 100m ---- hub ---- 100m ----- router
    Alternatively you could communicate over RS485 from the serial interface if the bandwidth will suffice.
    Wireless lan is 300m free field in ideal conditions of antenna location, but the rate will likely drop to 1Mbs.
    One thing to consider is near lightning strikes which with long cable runs could give rise to high voltages on copper. This will probably just retire things very early but could be dangerous if not managed carefully.
    But what are you doing about power out in the field to power all this stuff and you will no doubt have to make all those connections water tight?
    As far as temperature is concerned you will affect the reliability considerably if you exceed the stated limits, control cabinets typically get to 40°C, much over 50°C and you start looking at either specialist equipment or cooling of some form, from a fan to pletier devices or air conditioning units. Plastics start to become brittle and cables should be checked for operating temperature range from cold to hot. Things expand and contract a lot and you will need to manage any condensation. Look under the bonnet of an old car for what can happen and a new one for some good ideas on what you can get away with.
    Is this the sort of input you were looking for?

    IS there any app or setting to be able to monitor the operating temperature of my iPhone?

    Perhaps if you told us why you need that information, we could offer some alternative suggestions.

  • What is the operating temperature on an MBA Rev C?

    I have an MBA Rev A
    After watching 45 minutes of video the operating temperature is 65 Degrees C and the fan is running at 6200 RPM.
    I was just curious how an MBA Rev C faired under the same circumstances.
    Can someone tell me what the temperature and fan speed is in this situation?

    Both my Rev A & Rev B fans will start in the 2000 rpm neighborhood and climb to about 2300 rpm within 5 minutes of usage.
    Humm...mine will stay at 2000RPM even with AOL Radio and my webcam running.

  • What does operating temperature mean?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5
    Apple states that the maximum operating temperature is 35 degrees Celcius. Does that mean that my Macbook can be, at max, 35 degrees Celcius, or that the temperature around me, while using my device, can be, at max, 35 degrees?
    Thanks, so much.
    Regards,

    Also pay attention to "storage temperature".
    Car trunks in deep summer can easily exceed both humidity and temperature limits.
    And car tunks in deep winter can easily lower the temperature of all components even deep in the Macbook.  You may want to allow your Macbook some time to slowly re-warm from deep freeze.
    If your Macbook will be in storage for a length of time (2+ weeks) you may want to leave it with a friend who has controlled-environment if your only other option is a storage unitsthat has no controls.

  • Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature

    I see Apple has updated article# 30612 (Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature) to include the MacBook Pro. The most interesting part of the document is the first paragraph:
    "The bottom surface and some areas between the keyboard and LCD hinge of your Apple notebook computer can become hot after extended periods of use. This is normal operating behavior. With processor and bus speeds in portable computers often matching, if not exceeding, those of desktop systems, increased operating temperatures in portable computing products are common throughout the industry."
    So it seems Apple is knowledging that this extreme heat is normal above the F keys and on the bottom surface (mainly at the back).

    Hi Brad,
    "extreme heat"
    All of the Apple computers are like this. Same with all laptops that I have ever seen. The back of the computer near the hinge is where the fan is, so there should be some heat coming of there. I am glad some heat comes out of the keyboard (barely); its better then the logic board.

  • MBP normal operating temperature

    What is considered the normal operating temperature" My MBP runs between 110 and 120 F.

    If you have the Seagate 7200 RPM HDD there is a single temperature sensor that works with the standard temperature reading utilities. So, he is likely reading the temperature of the HDD.

    This should be easy:
    Where can I find CPU-Documentation, that specifies optimum and maximum CPU operating temperatures?
    Thanks!

    You may also read the technical documentations found on constructor's website.
    For Intel CPU I found information in section Home � Products � Processors � Intel� Xeon� Processor 5000 Sequence � Technical Documents � Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines document.
    I think something similar may be found for AMD CPU on AMD website.
