What are typical operating temp ranges?

I have the new 27" imac the MC813. I have iStat pro and Im wondering what the average temps people see that are ok. Mine seem high and Im worried once I start processing HD movies and burning them Im going to kill this thing.
Thank you in advance

I don't own an iMac, and the temps are different between desktops and notebooks (which I own).  Since I do not know the answer, what I can do to assist you best is to suggest googling "operating temp iMac 27" or something along those lines.  I did find some answers.  Also, since it is new (assuming is has been owned for less than 90 days). you can call AppleCare (if a # is available for your country, you can check here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 )and get the answer directly from the source.  Good luck and I hope you get your answer

  • 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 are normal operating temperatures of the i7-2620 in the X220, using TPFanControl?

    So I finally got TPFanControl working on my X220 after I really started noticing the fan spinning up and producing high-pitched whine. The fan had begun to remain on all the time, even while on battery with the CPU sitting at 800MHz. I could have sworn the fan remained off a lot of the time beforehand.
    So, what are the normal operating temps of the i7-2620CPU? Right now plugged in at "Balanced" speed, jumping between 2.7GHz and 800MHz and with the fan manually set to "7," 4500rpm, in TPFanControl, it shows the temperature at 63C. On battery at 800MHz, the temp goes between 50C and 60C.
    CPU Utilization remains at 7% when on batteries, 0-4% while plugged in at idle.
    Are those normal numbers? If not, do I have some kind of problem with the thermal paste or heatsink, or dust?

    at idle? no my fan is hardly audible at idle.
    what you are describing sounds like a problem with the either fan, or improper installation, in which cases you would need warranty.
    If you boot the laptop into the bios menu, does the fan come on?

  • What are acceptable cpu temps.

    Hey guys,
    I've never been able to monitor my cpu temp before and was wondering if my temps are in the normal range.
    idle: 40-45 C
    Converting DVD's to mpegs: 78-80 C
    Using Garage band: 65-70 C
    Safari:40-50 C
    Photo Booth:50-60 C
    Video Chat: 60-70 C
    Are these about normal? pushing 80 seems pretty warm...

    From many conversations we have had on this subject the temps you posted are normal. Mine usually runs 80º C to 85º C when streaming video.

  • IMac (MB323LL/A) very hot to the touch. What are the normal temps?

    I have a 20" iMac (MB323LL/A). When I feel the back of it (specifically the top-left corner, opposite of the DVD/CD drive), it feels extremely hot. The picture at http://tweetphoto.com/20424550 is a screen shot of the temperature readings. The program is iStat Menus.
    Are the temperatures displayed in the screen shot normal?
    I look forward to your responses. Thank you very much in advance.
    - Ted

    I am dead positive, those temps are just fine
    *Now me, I'd not be so sure:)* One must use search intelligently & make their own assessment. My thoughts are here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11627340
    and elsewhere & I said I'd not post about iMac temps again, so sorry for this. It was too hard for me to let a statement like the above stand.
    E.g. I'd occasionally seen *CPU temps like yours, 90°C*, prior to using 3rd party fan control. *Please note that even exceeds Intel's maximum storage temperature* of 85°C for Core Duos (lower if storing > 1 yr), from:
    http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/30922106.pdf
    but at least its below the recommended maximum junction temp of 100°C.
    Your *PS temp of 83°C* is ever-so-slightly below it's capacitors' maximum operating temp of 85°C, "+For an *aluminium electrolyte capacitor at 85°C, an expected lifetime of 2000 hours is achieved* by selecting VR / VF = 0.8.+":
    http://homepages.eee.strath.ac.uk/~bwwilliams/Book/Chapter%2016old.pdf
    and elsewhere.
    Your *HD bay temp of 54°C* is above the maximum even considered in the google HD failure rate study:

  • What are typical failover times for application X on Sun Cluster

    Our company does not yet have any hands-on experience with clustering anything on Solaris, although we do with Veritas and Miscrosoft. My experience with MS is that it is as close to seemless (instantaneous) as possible. The Veritas clustering takes a little bit longer to activate the standby's. A new application we are bringing in house soon runs on Sun cluster (it is some BEA Tuxedo/WebLogic/Oracle monster). They claim the time it takes to flip from the active node to the standby node is ~30minutes. This to us seems a bit insane since they are calling this "HA". Is this type of failover time typical in Sun land? Thanks for any numbers or reference.

    This is a hard question to answer because it depends on the cluster agent/application.
    On one hand you may have a simple Sun Cluster application that fails over in seconds because it has to do a limited amount of work (umount here, mount there, plumb network interface, etc) to actually failover.
    On the other hand these operations may, depending on the application, take longer than another application due to the very nature of that application.
    An Apache web server failover may take 10-15 seconds but an Oracle failover may take longer. There are many variables that control what happens from the time that a node failure is detected to the time that an application appears on another cluster node.
    If the failover time is 30 minutes I would ask your vendor why that is exactly.
    Not in a confrontational way but a 'I don't get how this is high availability' since the assumption is that up to 30 minutes could elapse from the time that your application goes down to it coming back on another node.
    A better solution might be a different application vendor (I know, I know) or a scalable application that can run on more than one cluster node at a time.
    The logic with the scalable approach is that if a failover takes 30 minutes or so to complete it (failover) becomes an expensive operation so I would rather that my application can use multiple nodes at once rather than eat a 30 minute failover if one node dies in a two node cluster:
    serverA > 30 minute failover > serverB
    seems to be less desirable than
    serverA, serverB, serverC, etc concurrently providing access to the application so that failover only happens when we get down to a handful of nodes
    Either one is probably more desirable than having an application outage(?)

  • What are these DR$TEMP % tables and can they be deleted?

    We are generating PL/SQL using ODMr and then periodically running the model in batch mode. Out of 26,542 objects in the DMUSER1 schema, 25,574 are DR$TEMP% tables. Should the process be cleaning itself up or is this supposed to be a manual process? Is the cleanup documented somewhere?
    Thanks

    Hi Doug,
    The only DR$ tables/indexes built are the ones generated by the Build,Apply and Test Activities. I confirmed that they are deleted in ODMr 10.2.0.3. As I noted earlier, there was a bug in ODMr 10.2.0.2 which would lead to leakage when deleting Activities. You will have DR$ table around for existing Activities, so do not delete these without validating they are no longer part of an existing Activity.
    You can track down the DR$ objects associated to an Activity by viewing the text step in the activity and finding the table generated for the text data. This table will have a text index created on it. The name of that text index is used as a base name for several tables which Oracle text utilizes.
    Again, all of these are deleted when you delete an Activity with ODMr 10.2.0.3.
    Thanks, Mark

  • What are the "Official" Temps for GFX 5900 Ultra

    I have the GFX 5900 Ultra with an average idle temp of between 35-38 Celcius.  
    Using RivaTuners background monitor, I found that I was getting VERY inacurate ratings when I alt-tab'd to the monitor on the desktop.  Plus RivaTuner will let you monitor in the background and save it to an html file for later and accurate results.
    I thought I was peaking around 58-60 degrees in games but the realtime logging of RivaTuner showed it maxing at 83 degrees at times.  I'm not getting BSOD or lockups, in fact it runs just fine.  And I can play BF1942,Halo and COD for 5-6 hrs each in a sitting and nothing bad has happened yet so I'm starting to think these temps are normal for a Video Card with such high speeds.
    Being that my idle temp is so low, I'm not doubting the effeciency of my heatsink, fans and case cooling.  
    I would love to see other results using RivaTuners background monitor from other people posted here so please do so and help get some accurate temp ratings out there.

    Thanks, I was being a bit anal, but just wanted to be sure.

  • What are the typical temerature ranges for the black Macbooks?

    Hello everyone,
    Posting this as a one-year owner of one of the earlier black MacBooks (Macbook 2,1 - mid 2007 - 2GHz Core 2 Duo) just wondering what the typical temperature ranges are for at idle and under load for this line of machine?
    I have modified the device slightly, putting a 120GB solid state drive, toping it out with 3GB of RAM and have Lion installed on it. I use it for a mixture of general web browsing and work (which does include running a Windows XP virtual machine in Fusion 4 although again, nothing heavier than testing websites in IE/Chrome/Firefox/Safari) and have just become a bit aware of the temperatures.. At idle (nothing running at all) the system is at ~40C and under load about 70C-80C, with the fan running flat out to cool it down. Watching YouTube videos does also put it up at this temperature, but I understand that Flash and OSX do not play nicely. I have opened up the device and blown compressed air into and around the fan intakes to clean it out, and most (if not all) of the time it is on a flat surface with adequate ventalation.
    I'm really wandering whether these temperatures are typical for this range of MacBook, as from experience a laptop of this spec should not be getting this hot.. Also a question for anyone that would be kind enough to take a stab - would it be worth me replacing the thermal paste on the CPU/GPU with some Arctiv Silver? I'd be comfortable doing that if it would benefit my heat issues. I've had a Google about this and the results are a mixed bag..
    Thanks for anyone kind enough to take a look at this!

    Okay well in lieu of any answers since I posted this (I am aware it was only a short while ago) but at the rate posts get buried on here, I wanted to post my own findings.
    Various posts across the we show that the white series of these MacBooks operate at around 50C-55C at idle and under load reach up to 80C. Apple says that it should shutdown at ~90C - the highest I have ever seen my MacBook get is 87C, so temperature wise:
    Idle: 50-55C
    Under load: 70C-80C
    Thermal Shutdown: 90C
    With the fans being noisy when under load, apparently there are two main "families" of the black MacBook. The earlier models (of which my one is) run at the above temperatures with a fan speed of ~6800RPM being fully open and ~1200RPM being idle. The Santa Rosa MacBooks however being a later model have a much more efficient - albeit more noisy - fan module. I daresay the Santa Rosa black MacBooks are more common being the newer model.
    So my findings - my temperatures of reaching 70C-80C are normal for the work I do. The fan speed being up to 6800RPM is fine - and the noise is just a trait of this line of MacBook sadly.

  • Anyone notice what Apple says is the correct operating temp?

    Their spec site says the machine can get as hot as 90 degrees (F). However, my temp gauge routinely gets to 108 degrees (F) - and I know many others go even higher. Isn't that a reason for Apple to fix our machines right there? Either that... or change their friggin' specs!

    Steven, you misinterpreted the specification.
    Operating temperature range 50-95 F refers to the ambient temperature in which you use the computer.
    What that means is that the computer is designed to operate in a controlled environment. If your room temperature exceeds 95 F the cooling system will have difficulty keeping the computer's components cool enough to meet their design lifetime. As far as I'm concerned, I'm designed for a comfortable ambient temperature range between the high-60s to low 70s F in my study, and within that range I'll be happy and so will the MBP!
    There are people who will use MBPs in the desert heat of Iraq or in sub-freezing temperatures and at high altitude on the slopes of Mount Everest. Apple is telling users that those computers probably won't last as long as if they were operated within the intended environmental specifications. Photojournalists often work in hostile environments and so do their Apple notebooks.
    My week 12 MBP doesn't have a heat problem. The areas that I need to touch when I'm using it are the keyboard, the trackpad and the rest areas to the left and right of the trackpad. If they stay comfortable to use in my most demanding applications, I don't have a heat problem. (I don't care if the metal strip behind the function keys gets very warm, as I don't need to touch it to use the computer.)
    I use a KoolSink tilted aluminum stand when I'm using the computer, whether on my desk or in my lap. That helps cool the computer and keep me comfortable.
    My CPU operating temperatures compare to many of those that have had the "grease fix" and are better than some, but I've not done the "grease fix" and don't plan to do that.
    My attitude toward heat works. The MBP is the fastest, quietest and most stable notebook computer I've ever owned and it churns through the work I toss at it without missing a beat. It's in the same performance class as my PowerMac dual core 2.3 GHz but uses much less energy to do the same tasks.

  • To find Total Operating Expenses , what are all G/L Nodes to be added

    Dear Team,

    I got the formula.
    Operating Profit Margin Ratio = Operating Profits /  Income.
    ::Operating Profits = Gross Profits - Total Operating Expenses.
    but i have calculated Gross Profits Value & Income value.  I am getting problem to find Total Operating Expenses.
    In our Balance sheet they maintain "Direct Operating Expenses"

    To find  total operating Expenses what are all i need to add to find it, please forward ur valuble feed back to me.
    It would help me.
    Thanks in advance..

  • What are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%?

    What are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%?  Used to using a scale from 0 to 255.  But with LR it's RGB  , I know 100% RGB is white.  What do you use for %?

    While I whole heartedly agree that we should not be constrained to hard and fast numbers for accurate skin tones ... LR does offer an RGB color readout ... I am assuming they made those percentages available for the user to monitor the breakdown of specific color values for a reason ... so we could have an indication of how a specific color in an image will be reproduced ...
    I liken this to using a speedometer ... while many experienced drivers in well tuned vehicles can travel on the highway at the prescribed legal speed limit without really monitoring the readout on the dashboard ... however, there are times when they would like to verify the speed at which they are traveling ... the RGB color percentage readout in LR is no different ... just a source of information to verify you are achieving what you desire ...
    Again, going by specific numbers in this instance, I believe, could lead to problems ... there may be times when you may desire or actually need to adjust skin tones ... even though a pleasing WB has been achieved ... the relationship of R, G and B can be used to get you there.
    From what I have researched and put into practice with LR the following seems to be a good starting point and the data was borrowed from "the pixelation" blog:
    R: highest %
    G: middle %
    B: lowest %
    To get a little more specific. In general,
    R: Y + (15-20)
    G: average of R and B
    B: R – (15-20)
    For example, the following values represent common Caucasian skin tones using the rules above:
    * R: 80%; G: 70%; B: 60%. R is 20 points higher than B, and G is midway between R and B. That’s perfect.
    *  R: 86%, G: 78%; B: 70% also reflects a nicely balanced skin tone.  Again, G is midway between R and B, and R is 16 points higher than B. This, too, illustrates a great relationship among the colors.
