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.

  • 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 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...

    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.

  • 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".

    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)

  • 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".

  • 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.

    That is a normal motherboard temperature.
    If you happened to live in Death Valley, CA and had no airconditioning it would be a quite  bit higher.

  • 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.

  • What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

    I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

    Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.

  • 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?

  • I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4

    I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4 and can it be done on a g4

    If you have a processor of 867 MHz or faster and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, you can run OS X Leopard, updated to 10.5.8.
    That's as far as a G4 can go.
    Check eBay for discs:

    No Snow Leopard, 10.6x or Lion, 10.7x.
    they won't run in a PPC Mac.
