PB temperatures way too high?

Recently my fans have been doing an absurd amount of work on my PB, even when nothing is running they kick up really loud and the computer becomes really hot. Its loud enough that I have to shut off the computer or put it to sleep when I want to sleep... I use it on a desk with nothing blocking any ventilation (this started recently even if i didnt change the way I use it)
I installed a widget to check temperatures which sometimes give me temperatures as high as these:
CPU: ~60
Battery: ~40
GPU: ~65
HD: ~45
Just by putting my palms on the keyboard (ie one hand on each side of the trackpad to type) i can feel the laptop is too hot, the bottom is even worse and i turn it off and move it because my desk gets warm!!
Any suggestions?
(I'm currently using a friend's laptop cooler which is keeping the temperatures a little lower but it's very noisy and annoying)

Hello,
I have too noticed that my powerbook becomes very hot while using it. What I invested in so I could use it in my lap or on the go heavily was a chill pad.

That actually kept my powerbook pretty cool for the most part. It actually pushes cold air onto the bottom of the powerbooks with the fans. Its actually not too loud as well. Its generally quiet and I hardly notice it unless I am in a completely silent room.

Temps Way Too High

Please help me! lol
I just built a new PC and the the processor is 3.2Ghz P4.
It has a Zalman 7000Al/Cu cooler and it hitting a much too high temperature!
The case has a front 80mm intake fan (not bringing air into the case as its blocked), a 80mm side fan bringing loadsa air into the case and then 2 x80mm fans extracting at the back. Plus the PSU has a 120mm fan over the CPU.
Now the problem is that at idle the cpu temp is about 45C but in game it rises steeply. When running 3DMark 2003 about half way it hit 65C. That is way too high.
Now the thing is that when I feel the zalman it is hardly even hot. So obviously isnt making good contacts. Am I right. If so how do i fix this.
I Did use artic silver III on the heatsink and a fine amount so that you could just read the writing on the CPU. What else can I do please? Shouldnt the heatsink be at least hot?
Thanks. Answer quick!

Ah, you seem to have the exact problem I only just got over. I just upgraded my P4C 2.8Ghz's cooler from stock to a Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu, and at first, I had temperature hell, getting temperatures like you are, but it seems I had just misapplied the thermal paste. I'm using the included Zalman paste, and from the tests I've seen, AS3 is only just very very slightly better than it, I'm talking maybe half a degree C.
The way I eventually found to apply it which gave the best result was to put the usual slightly smaller than a grain of rice dollop of the paste right in the middle of the processor, then sit the cooler on top of that, and give it a bit of a twist side-to-side so that it mashes out the paste. You can take a look underneath to make sure this has given a good spread, don't worry if it doesn't cover the whole heat spreader, it shouldn't, and in any case the core which you are cooling is only under a tiny part of that huge plate. As long as it's a reasonable size spread, just go from there and install the cooler as normal, and you should find it works fine. While this method of grease application seems to be against most of the guides I've read, it definitely works fine (I'm getting 29C idle, max 45C load, in a case with absolutely horrid ventilation), and is in fact the way Arctic Silver recommend.
So give that a try, it worked for me.
Oh, and on the whole temperature misreporting deal, while I'm pretty sure my CPU is measured fine, is there some kind of issue with the system temp readings? I should check my BIOS version, but I'm just puzzled in that my system temp tends to read about 40C, which is way more than even my CPU.

IPad Charger temperature goes too high

I bought iPad Mini with Retina display recently. I attached a charger properly. After some time when i touched the charger I found its temperature is too high. So I removed and checked USB side of the cable, its temperature was so high that I could not hold it for more than 4-5 seconds. Is there any problem with my charger or this happens with every charger? What should I do?

Possible sign of battery failure:
1. Very hot when charging
2. Not holding charge
3. Takes a long time to charge
How old is your battery?

My bill is way too high

When I first signed up for Verizon I was quoted approximately $165.00 per month for my services. For the past two months my bill is way too high. I had Cox prior to verizon and my bill was much lower and I basically had the same services. If my bill cannot get lower then what it is I will switch back to Cox. Please look into this for me.
Thank you,

My macbook pro cpu temperature is too high??please tell me correct fact and information

i mistake deleting my activity.......re question...
I'm using macbook pro retina 13inch 2013 late version.
my macbook has NO external graphic card, just iris graphic.
when i was playing diablo3 or watching movie by using bypass ip address, my cpu temperature was maintained 90~100 celcius degrees.
And at the same time, my cooling fan was maintained 5800~6000 rpm.
There are two questions.
One, is my macbook temperature too high or normal level ?
Two, i know that 6200rpm is maximum speed of cooling fan. Why did fan run 5800~6000rpm, not maximum?

When processor intensive activities are taking place, temperature may reach the maximum level.

Activity Monitor shows virtual memory usage is way too high

35 Gb of virtual memory for Safari, Mail, iTunes, Activity Monitor and all running processes!
Why these numbers are so high compared to Tiger? Can someone please explain? Is it a bug or something or is it the new way introduced with Leopard?
RAM and CPU usage looks fine though but this VM usage seems too high to me. I will run out of disk space after a couple of days of runtime. And the Adobe Creative Suite is not even running. Jeez...

Thanks for the hint Niel.
The /private/var/vm folder is actually only 64 Mb. I can calm myself now...
(via Go menu in the Finder, select Go to Folder and type /private/var/vm to access it)
But why is Activity Monitor behaving like this in Leopard?

IPod Touch play count WAY too high

My 16GB 2G iPod Touch has a play count which is far too high. It is like 1500 for songs I have added today. Any way to solve this?
I have tried resetting the play counts, skip counts and restoring my iPod. No luck.

I'm having the same issue. I've got an iPod Touch 1G, fully updated. I'm seeing tracks that I've literally not played in weeks maybe even MONTHS come up with hundreds, and songs i've played maybe once or twice come up with thousands. I reset all the play counts to try again but it didn't make a difference, next thing i knew, a whole load of new tracks were up there in the thousands.
It's REALLY annoying, cause I've got a Most Played smart playlist, which doesn't really work in the first place as it doesn't update itself no matter how many times i plug my iPod into the computer, and even if it DID work, it wouldn't be very accurate, and I'd have a load of Janet Jackson interludes clogging up my most played, which gets annoying after a while, no matter how entertaining they are when they're part of the album!
What can we do?!

Camileo X-Sports - Temperature is too high

Hi everyone,
I just received a brand knew Camelio X-Sports cam and I have a serious problem : I installed le camera into the case, I started filming in 1080p60 and whihin minutes the cam just went off.
I started filming again and 2 minutes later, the lcd displayed "Temperature too high", then the cam shutted down.
I removed the cam from the case, then removed the battery, it was indeed pretty hot.
I updated the firmware to 2248 but it didn't change anything.
I think the battery may be faulty but I wanted to ask the forum before returning it to the store.
I didn't find any relative thread on the world wire web :)
Informations :
- Camelio X-Sports PA5150E-1C0K
- Firmware : v2.2.4.8 (I updated manually)
- 64GB Lexar 300x SDXC
- Powersave 1min
- LCD Brightness 2 / 3
- LCD Off 5s
My apologies for the poor language,
Best regards,
Mathieu

I read in the other thread that you purchased the new battery for this cam.
Did you notice the same higher temperature using new battery?
Feedback would be appreciated.

Isn't there supposed to be something to shut your Mac down when the temperature gets too high like there is in Windows bios?

A program hung up and the temperature reached 192° F before I shut the Mac laptop off.
Why did this SMC Fan Control program or my Mac let the temperature get that high? If it wasn’t for SMC I would never known the temperature got that high.
Isn’t there supposed to be something that shuts The Mac down around 160° F ?
What I need it to do so that my Mac does not become a doorstop, is to have it force quit all programs at 160°F.
I could create a macro and do it myself if I can import the temperature to the clipboard and write a script that says if temperature equals 160°F force quit and then list all the programs I wanted it to force quit.
This could be easily done with Keyboard Mastro By getting the temperature from SMC fan control.
It would be nice to be able to choose which programs you wanted to force quit. Dragon Dictate locks up and raises the temperature, When the temperature gets 160 I would like Program to be forced to quit.
I don’t want to force quit pages or text editor that I might be working on that I might lose information. But to force quit all other programs like Safari, mail or iTunes, is not going to cause me to lose information as the information will still be on the mail servers and on the web.
Can someone please write a program for me?
I hope Apple is listening may be they can make that an option in their next version it should be simple to do.
I don’t mean to copy Windows Ideas, but This would be better than Windows, to actually force quit the programs causing the high temperature rather than shutting the whole machine off causing you to lose information.

My Z3's temperature is too high

I just received my Xeperia Z3 few days ago. Then, using DU Battery Saver, I realized the temperature is very high - about 90 degree even when I do not use my phone. Furthermore, it easily pass 100 degree if I play some games. Besides, my battery is drained very fast. It cannot hold more than one day. Is is very abnormal? My model is D6603. I feel very disappointed with this phone.

92 degree is when my phone in stand by mode. I feel worried because I had another Z3 - model D6653. It stays at 75 degree when in stand by mode. Also, I am sure its battery stays much longer than this one.
I know another problem is the phone cannot pass 99% when charging. Furthermore, it is very bad at catching the signal from T-Mobile. So, it keeps get connected then disconnected to T-Mobile. Does it contribute to the bad battery life of my phone?
I feel very anxious because this is the first time I see so many problems in a phone

CPU temperature is too high in Solaris 10 sun fire v890 machine

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a sun fire v890 machine. I used the prtdiag -v command to check the system.
However, It appears to me that the CPU temperatures is higher than the temperature range specified in the technical specification. The server is a standalone node that does not connect to the network or process anything.
Is it a problem? Thank you.

Hi Rukbat,
Thanks for your reply.
I have displayed the verbose prtdiag -v on the v890 machine.
However, I couldn't find the hard-coded operational ranges. Could you please advise?
Hi Sun-worshiper,
I executed the command and couldn't find the targeted temperature.

HD doesn't operate when the ambient temperature is too high

Hi
I've got an iBook 800 and the internal drive starts to click when the temperature in the room is a little, or so it appears. Is there any known issue with this?
I think I am about ready to replace the drive but some insight would be great.
I wouldn't want to throw away an otherwise good drive.
Throw in your two cents.

Alexander, some of the other threads here may offer some points to work through to check the actual status of the HDD - maybe it is on its way out?

Satellite P775 shuts down when temperature is too high

hello,
I have a toshiba laptop Satellite P775 more than 3 years.
I paid a lot of money for this laptop.
So each time it get too hot laptop that falls immediately.
So yesterday I had my laptop completely disassembled, what a job. but realized that all my fan was clogged with dust. *So problem solved.*
I think this is dangerous because of fire or am I wrong?
There was a dust layer of 5 cm by 1 cm.
Is this normal for this laptop?
Do not think so because it was really an effort to get there.
Sorry for my bad english, a happy 2014.
thnx, greating .

Thank you so much for this photo. I really hope that many forum users will see it and realize how much dust can be found inside of notebook.
On this forum a lot of people have problems with overheating and notebook switch offs.
Last year I have disassembled my machine too and was surprised how many dust I found inside.
The dust is not dangerous because of fire but it can be dangerous for notebook hardware. Due to critical hardware temperature hardware can be damaged.
Im pretty sure your notebook will run perfectly and much quieter than before.
Bye and good luck.

Audio level way too high after disc burn

Hello!
I just burned my first test disc of a project and have come across a strange problem. The audio on all of my tracks has jumped to an extremely high (and unacceptable) level. It is well above the level set in FCP and even what plays when simulating the disc from within DVDSP. The ac3 files out of compressor seem to be fine. In fact, everything seems okay until the actual burn. When playing the disc in DVD Player, it's so loud that in many places there is actual peaking. Is there a setting I'm missing, maybe? I tried searching, but didn't find anything like this.
Any ideas?

Hey Drew,
Gotcha, I just realized it must be fixing something with markers. I haven't had a problem with that yet though, fortunately. I've been exporting directly out of FCP using Compressor, so there's no intermediate file. Like I said, the encoded ac3 sounds perfect, so it seems like it's something happening in DVDSP. Do you know of anything in that program that might have caused this? If it makes any difference, I burned the disc by simply hitting the "burn" button rather than building. Could that cause this sort of thing?

My phone intermittently States that the temperature is too high and so needs to cool down!! Howeve, it feels cold and I am only able to shut it down to restart it. This only temporarily resolves the problem. This started when battery was replaced.

Iphone 5 is stating that the phone is too hot and needs to cool down before it can be used. However the phone actually feels cold!! I can turn the phone off and restart it which temporarily resolves the issue. this issue stated once Apple replaced my battery. Any solutions or idease??

Take it back to Apple and have them look at it.
