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)

What are the normal operating temps for a G5 Quad Core Power Mac Tower?

I asked this within another thread but I am afraid it will get buried and think it deserves its own item.
I just downloaded Temperature Monitor and have been looking at the data. I have no idea how to interpret the figures and there are no listings of specified upper and lower limits even though there is an area where those numbers should go.
The numbers are constantly in flux, going up and down a degree or two but here is a recent example from a screenshot taken while I was running WORD (but not working on any document), Terminal, Apple Mail, Firefox (two windows open), Temperature Monitor, Preview, Dashboard and Finder:
Air Tunnel 99.5 degrees F
Air Tunnel Heatsink 92.8 degrees F
CPU A Core 1 Diode 107.5 degrees F
CPU A Core 2 Diode 107.8 degrees F
CPU B Core 1 Diode 108.0 degrees F
CPU B Core 2 Diode 111.5 degrees F
Drive Bay 87.8 degrees F
Graphics processor chip 131.0 degrees F
Main Logic Board Air Inlet --- (this is always missing)
Main Logic Board Backside 108.7 degrees F
Memory Controller Diode 133.9 degrees F
SMART Disk WDC WD2500JS-41M.... 104.0 degrees F.
The icon for the program, in the dock, gives me an ever changing number that is perhaps an overall reading - an average. Right now the number is 106.4 degrees F (taken some minutes after the screenshot providing the above data). Always in flux.
Do any of these temps look alarming? And HOW and WHERE do I find out what the temperatures SHOULD be?
PS I have APPLE RAM.

If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press Apple+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth column of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.

What is a normal operating temp for MBP

My MBP (2.33GHz/3GB RAM) is huffing and puffing when I'm running a lot of apps. I installed a temp widget and its been above 160 farenheit and is typically at 130-140 degrees normally. This strikes me as a bit high. I've seen a few rumblings of heat issues, but nothing concrete nor anything indicating what a normal temp is.
thoughts, resources, ideas?
Thanks
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The range of temperature will probably be from around 30ºC (sleeping) to 85ºC depending upon CPU load. Thermal shut-off should occur at 125ºC. The fans idle at 2,000 RPM and have a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM. The fans' speed will increase as the core temperature rises in order to cool the computer.
Your computer seems to be operating within nominal parameters.

What is the normal operating temp for a 2007 iMac

just wondering what it should be around since i never cleaned it out yet.
heres some numbers
current room temp 82C
CPU a Heatsink 53C
CPU core 1 52C
core 2 54C
display 49C
graphics processor chip 1 63C
graphics proessor heatsick 1 64C
graphics prosessor temp D 68C
HDD bay 1 50C
main logic board 53C
optical drive 43C
power supply position 1 80C
smart disk wdc wd3200aajs-40 49C
wireless module 58C

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:

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.

What is the "normal" operating tempature for a 1025-nr

I have a dv-7 1025-nr, and the top of it seems to hotter than it should be. I can hear the fan running and it seems to be running at its highest rpm However it just not keeping it cool enough I actually have the back of the laptop propped up so it will cool better. Also, what software do I need to get to read the tempature sensors?
Thanks
windows 7 x64

The laptop is of the age where it is likely time to open it up and clean out around the fan and replace the thermal compound with new.

"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.
Oli.

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.

Safe operating temperatures for macbook

What is a safe operating temperatures for macbook? My processor runs as high as 170 degrees sometimes.

Hi ..

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 is "normal' operation noise for MacBook Pro's

Hi guys, could somebody inform me of what is considered "normal" operation noise when the MacBook Pro is in use? I purchased my first Mac 2wks ago & have already gone through 2!! The first one had battery issues so they just gave me a new one (very nice of them) & the second one had optical drive issues which again they issued me a new one. The third one now, which is only 3days old, keeps making some sort of slight static noise or sounds like optical drive is trying to read a disc or something every time I open an application & when surfing the net & switching through pages. It sounds like its coming from the middle right hand side. It's not that loud as it can only be heard when I'm in the library or when I'm in a moderate to quiet room. Now, rather than me going in again to the Apple Store & making a fool of myself just wanted some insight of how these machines run/sound? Any info would be great....Thanks

Well, took it to Apple, they gave me now my fourth MacBook Pro.
Apparently the noises weren't normal but the glass like sound is the SMS sensor - so thats normal. The new one now which I got yesterday sounds better except now every time I wake it from sleep or turn it on after shutdown the fans go on high speed & make a really loud noise which only lasts for a few seconds??
The other 3 I had did not do this...so, am I just having bad luck or is every mac different when waking?

MBP normal operating temperature

What is considered the normal operating temperature" My MBP runs between 110 and 120 F.
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.5)

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.

Normal operating temps. for MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?

Does anyone know where I can find a chart or a list of normal operating temps. for the MacPro2,1, 3GHz Xeon, 8 core?
I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks for any help.

I think Hardware Monitor would tell you what and may have a database.
Intel obviously. Just look up the processor for TCASE and TJMAX
More interested in what YOURS are and FBDIMM temps are often the most helpful.
Considering how many people are upgrading theirs to X5355s, redoing thermal paste, there is a lot of info out there.
