Optimum operating temperature for 1.42/1.25DP MDD Machine

Hello all,
I have a DP 1.25 MDD. Lovin' it! My question: Last night, my machine was running at 135 degrees fahrenheit. After reading about chud tools 3.5.2 and enabling nap mode, my fans and temperature have gone down TREMENDOUSLY. Of course, I also installed the PCI Exhaust fan from my DA Mac. Right now, my CPU temperature reads 108.5 - a far far cry from 135.
Can someone tell me what is the normal temperature for the dual processor MDD'S? I am trying to get this thing below 100 degrees.

Hi Carl,
I intend to enjoy it, and enjoy it for a long time, well not too long, but a lot longer than when I had the digital audio and that beast ran with 300 percent perfection and no problems at all.
Now that I finally got the original restore cd's and os x install disks, I can now proceed hopefully(keeping my fingers crossed) to dual boot into OS 9.2.2, however it seems that the chud tools only work in OS X and not in OS 9.2.2, but then again I am not worried since my DP 1.25 is able to handle it.
Right now according to temperature monitor the temperature of "CPU B" is now:
95.8 degrees + the fact that I took out the PCI fan card from my digital audio machine, now my son's machine. I do see the fan doing its job effectively. My question then is: How to keep the chud tools and nap mode enabled throughout the whole mac? Meaning, when in OS 9.2.2 and also booting things.
Above all, I am very happy and pleased with this G4. I wonder if the next OS will work on this?
according to rumor sites and I HATE rumors, they are saying that no G4 will be supported, but this has to be a lie.

  • 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".

  • HT2101 What's the lowest operating temperature for iPhone 4S?

    My phone turned off by itself & couldn't turned it On while I was out for trekking & temperature was -40 oC. I use a leather casing for my iPhone.  I was out of contact with my family during that time. Surprisingly when I turned it On upon reaching home it still showed 40% charged status. What's the lowest operating temperature for iPhone 4S?

    A Google search is your friend. This was the first hit with a search for "iPhone 4S specs".
    http://www.apple.com/lae/iphone-4s/specs/
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

  • Operating and Non-operating temperatures for iPhone 5s

    For all iPhones it is mentioned as below -
    Nonoperating temperature: −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Above info is mis-leading.
    So which is  the temperature for optimal usage if all temperatures between −4° to 113° F are non-operating?

    No, it's not mis-leading. It is a standard way of marking product temp ranges.
    It can safely be stored (non-operating) in temps of −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
    If it is hotter or colder than this, it may get damaged.
    It will operate correctly in temps of 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C).
    Hotter or colder than this and it may not operate.

  • Operating temperatures for cpu/memory

    This may be much ado about nothing.  Had recently upgraded hard drive on my Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and the fan ran nearly all the time.  So I looked around for notebook coolers for one solution.  I had also ordered a memory upgrade to 8gb from the stock 4gb.  The new drive is a Hitachi 500gb 7200rpm 2" drive w/32mg cache.  I've read others before say various 7200rpm drives sometimes ran hotter and caused increased fan activity, so in a way wasnt surprised.
    So, next thing I did was buy an app from the Mac App Store called Temperature Gauge.  It's a nice little utility and shows temps for many components like cpu, memory, battery, and others.  My fan was running around 4600rpm and very loud most of the time with the new drive.  That is until I upgraded memory to the 8gb.  Now the fan speed has dropped from around 4600rpm to 2000rpm and is back to its original silent operation.
    The util sets threshholds for component temps and in particular I was curious if anyone knew what the operating range of temps should my cpu or memory be within?  Is there any way to find out for ex. if the cpu is at 119 degrees Fahrenheit is that within normal specs?

    119º F is excellent, the RAM helped as it's not swaping memory to the hard drive as much as before.
    I upped mine to 16GB, really sweet to not have to worry until I run more than three operating systems at once

  • Normal operating temperature for imac

    I have just downloaded "temperature monitor" and it indicates the CPU is at 46c. At times the cooling fan will kick in at 26c yet currently at 46c it is not running.

    Mine is about the same as yours.  You can see the "idle" speeds of my fans.  iMac i7.
    Regards
    Edit:  At these speeds the sound of the fan is not noticeable.  Just a little airflow coming out the vent.

  • 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

  • "Normal" Operating Temperature

    What is considered the "Normal" operating temperature for the Apple TV? All I have found online from Apple is:
    Your Apple TV is designed to operate quietly in an environment warmer than room temperature, including within media cabinets.
    This can be rather ambiguous as warm to one could be hot to another. I've had my Apple TV for barely over 3 years and do not use it that much. Recently, I've noticed it running very hot to the touch (it always has run 'hot' to me, but not quite this hot.) If I start it up at room temperature after it has been unplugged for awhile, it runs fine for about 20 minutes. Then I start to see blue dots across the TV screen and then shortly after that, the picture becomes very pixelated. Feeling the case then at that time, it is quite hot to touch.
    How can you tell what temperature it is running at? Should it not be running that hot? What have been the experience of other users?
    thanks,
    Jon

    Hi there,
    I've been having the exact same problem with my ATV. Had it for about 3-4 years, and not used it a huge amount until recently - although it has been plugged in most of the time, so the HDD and fan have been running.
    I've always thought the ATV ran hot, but recently I've noticed it getting MUCH hotter than usual. I've also noticed an increasing problem with flashing pixels on screen, corrupt menus, flashing and in the worst cases completely corrupt video playback (inverted colours, blocking, etc.)
    I've been doing a bit of experimentaion to isolate the problem, and I'm fairly sure this is heat releated. The problems seem to get worse the longer the device is left on. If I cut the power and let it cool down for 5 mins, then everything seems fine for about 30-60 mins, then the symptons return.
    I've had final proof tonight: I couldn't get the ATV to play anything for more than about 5 mins before we had problems. In a last ditch attempt, I got an icepack from the freezer, encased the ATV and turned the fan on to draw air over it ... the result? Problems gone.
    I'm going to open it up an evening this week, and see whether the fan is running. If not, I'll investigate further. I guess I could always relocate my ATV to the freezer :o)
    In my opinion, Jon - your ATV seems to be having the exact same problem as mine. I think there's a strong possibility the fan has either failed after all these years, or the fan connector has worked loose.
    I'll let you all know what I find.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Max temperature for PB?

    Is there a max ambient temperature at which one can use a PB G4 12" ?
    Being in Europe, we don't have air conditioning in our home or office.. As the temperatures climb, I'm using a fan to blow air onto my PB to keep it cooler.
    Today's temperatures were 32°C ( approx 90°F ). Two years ago it was edging 120°F (in the shade). From what I can see on the Apple website, they don't mention PBs specifically, but max temps for iMacs and Cubes are 35°C (95°F ).
    Should I be worried about anything over 35°C?
    Cheers,
    Awfers

    The max. operating temperature for the PowerBook is also 35° C. I expect this is stated because when the ambient temperature rises above this level, the PowerBook cannot adequately cool itself down. If you want to err on the side of caution turn it off until the temperature drops, however I'm sure you've noticed that the case gets ice cold when a fan is directed at it - personally I wouldn't worry about it.

  • K7N2 Delta-L board operating temperature

      Hello,
      I'm just curious what would be concidered a "normal" operating temperature for this board?  
      I've had my set-up running for about 10 days now with no problems (XP3000+ processor),but last night my computer reset itself.
      When I took a look at my equipment stats I noticed my mainboard temperature was 35C, while processor temp was listed at 31C...would this be normal?
      I have good fans and air-flow, and even removed the side panel to see if that made a difference, but the temp only came down 1C.
      Perhaps the temp readings are inaccurate...just looking for some ideas on what could be wrong (other than bad memory, bad PSU, etc etc  :P)
    Cheers,
    Hautz

    What BIOS version are you running, current BIOS is reading temp about -10deg from true.  Do you have the thermal protection enabled in BIOS?  The temps are well within normal operating range.  Any windows messages when the system is restarted?

  • Operating temperatures of K7N2-Delta L and CPU

  • Operating Temperature Limit for MacBook Pro

    The specifications, for MacBook Pro, mention that the operating temperature is 10 to 35 Deg C. Does it mean that MacBook Pro will not function above 35 Deg C? Is it recommended to operate MacBook Pro always in an air-conditioned environment? As I plan to buy for the 1st time, I seek an answer.

    You will find that if you use applications that are CPU intensive the internal temperature can go over 100 C.  This actually is within the safe operating parameters of the MBP.  Should the temperatures become excessive, there are heat sensors that will activate a shutdown so that no damage will occur.
    You might download from the Internet a utility called iStat pro that will show you the internal temperatures of your MBP and the fan speeds.  You can then correlate this information with Activity Monitor data and determine if the temperatures are normal for the given circumstances.
    Ciao.
