How hot is normal?
At times the bottom of my laptop (on the left side) gets too hot to be able to touch it for any length of time -so can't have it on my lap. During that period the air blown out from the vent is very hot too.
Anyone experiencing a similar problem? I am not sure if I should call tech support?
I am running WIndows 7, 64 bits. The CPU is Intel Core i3.

download tpfancontrol and see what temperature your laptop gets to.

Just how hot is normal?

I know this thing is supposed to be hot. But the area just above my keyboard gets so hot, I can't touch it without risk of burning myself. And I never hear the fans kick in (unless they're very quiet). Hardware tests all pass though, and machine is running OK.
It's just really really hot. Wondering if that much (not being able to touch it) is normal. Or if that's extreme and I should take it in. I have to take it in anyway, cause my keyboard is warped and not functioning all that great. I almost think it's possible the keyboard has warped from the intense heat underneath it.

this is normal. the area above your keyboard contains the heat pipe of your macbook pro. all the heat generated by the CPU and the GPU is dissipated from this area.
this is also normal that you do not hear the fans, that is the purpose of the aliminium case. metal is a good heat conductor, and case of the macbook pro is a big heat sink. the fans will kick in under heavy load, approximately when CPU reaches 78C .

open 3-4 terminals and type yes > /dev/null in every one of them. this will load the cpu's. I am sure that you will here the fans in several minutes. also, download and install core duo temp (http://macbricol.free.fr/coreduotemp/) application, by which you can check the cpu temperatures.
idle temperatures is very dependent on ambient factors, such as the table that you use your MBP (if this is a metal table, the temperature will be quite low), ambient temperature. I use a wooden table, and idle temp is between 56-62C. under heavy load, it reaches 78-81C. that's when the fans start functioning.

GT780DX how hot should it run when playing games?

my exact model is:
MSI GT780DXR-429NE - i7-2670QM 2.2GHz/ 8GB / 1.5TB / GTX 570M / 17.3" / BT / Blu-Ray / Win 7 HP
..so my question, how hot should the computer run while playing games?
when I play arkham city it tops at about 72C (161F) holds around 70C
and when I play minecraft on it it gets to 72C (161F) as well
the fan can get really loud, feels like it only has two gears, slow and super fast.
is this normal?

I use one of these... http://www.awd-it.co.uk/cooler-master-notepal-u3-cooling-pad-for-notebooks-black.html
My laptop used to shutdown due to over heating - you could fry an egg on the bottom of it.
Since I got the cooling pad, my laptop is almost icy cold. Really.
For the price, they are very cheap. When I opened the box I was a little disappointed because I thought it was made of thin cheap metal, but it does stand up to the use.
haha cool, exactly one of those that I bought today also
I think it's working pretty nice, though where is the most optimal place to place your fans ?
the vents on the back or the actual place that gets warm? (which have no vents)

How Hot is Too Hot 20" iMac (Mid 07)

I have a new 20" iMac 2.4 GHz that came with the Apple installed 1 GB of RAM. I realize it is normal for the top edge to be warm. I wanted to know how warm so I installed the Temperature Monitor v4.2 and it currently reads 123.8 F. Is this normal or hot? How hot is too hot and what will happen if I install another memory module?
Is there a better utility or something from Apple to track temperature?
aRKay
Ps: How do I add an icon showing one of the new iMac?

+How hot is too hot and what will happen if I install another memory module?+
185 F is too hot, but unless you've got your iMac sitting in direct sunlight or are operating it at the extreme upper end of the ambient temperature operating range at 95 F, it would be highly unlikely to reach that temperature since the fans do an excellent job of cooling.
The whole point of Apple's switching to Intel processors was to provide the same power as the Power PC processors, but at much lower temperatures due to consumers not using air conditioning to such a wide extent as do businesses.
Installing another memory module will not make much impact on most internal temperatures, except it will probably tend to lower the hard drive temperature since with more memory there won't be as much swapping of data back and forth between memory and hard drive.
Computers have always worked faster in a cooler environment rather than in a hotter environment, so if your environment is hot and you want to give your Mac some help, turn on the air.
As to the topic, it is not marked as solved, but is marked as answered.

How Hot?

How hot does your computer usually get?
I have the fans running at 5100 RPM most the time and idle is 37 Degrees C and 40-42 Degrees C while on firefox ect...

When you say "have the fans running at 5100 RPM" does that mean you are using third-party fan control software? If so you should remove it as it's completely unnecessary and potentially hazardous to your computer's health.
The fans are under firmware and software control already. They normally idle at 2000 RPM and may increase up to a maximum of 6000 RPM depending upon how hot the CPU, GPU, Northbridge, and SouthBridge chips get. Normal operating temperature can range from 35ºC to 85ºC depending upon load. Hotter temperatures are possible under very heavy CPU and GPU loads. Thermal shutdown will occur if the processor temperature hits 125ºC.
Running third-party fan software could be hazardous as it can mask a serious overheating problem if one were to occur, and they can cause the fan life to deteriorate faster.
The temperatures you've stated seem low for what you are doing, and that indicates you are running the fans too fast.

Am I being a spaz? How hot is too hot?

I was doing some google searches, and I've just come up with statistics, not whether or not the temperatures were too hot, or if it was normal.
From what I've read, the iMac can idle safely at ~50C, [122F], and when gaming, it can go into the upper 80C's [176F].
I've been using smcFanControl with like, 5 different settings, and my normal response would be, turn up the fans if it gets
above 110F [43C] and if it gets to 120F [49C] or above, I switch the fans to max until it lowers to around 100F [37C].
It may just be me, but am I being overly cautious about temperatures? I'd rather the fans need to be replaced than the hardware,
and also, I've read that it will definitely just shut itself off if it gets "too hot", but about how hot is 'too hot', and will this work
if I'm booted in Windows?
Just for reference, the ambient air should be somewhere in between 70-80F [20-27C].

Hmm. Alright, I may end up uninstalling it and resetting the SMC/PRAM later, and just use it normally. I usually don't mind the fans being a bit noisier, if it'll keep the system cool, since I have an external tower speaker I use, which I love when gaming...

How hot does your Helix get under heavy load?

I've had my Helix for a few days now and have finally got around to installing some software on it. I have the i7 with 256gb SSD and 8GB RAM.. so far I've been very impressed with how 'snappy' it all runs and besides a few annoyances with the touchscreen/pen not working correctly 100% of the time am very happy with the system.
Anyways, I wanted to see how the Helix would run when pushed really hard so I had Solidworks running (3d modeling/CAD software) and Netflix going on on an external monitor. The back of the Tablet became super hot--hot enough that you would definitely not want to touch it (let alone try to hold it) or have it on your lap. I installed TP fan control and it read that the CPU got up to 86 degrees Celsius. Granted this is not representative of normal operating conditions, but I'm concerned about how hot it got. Has anyone else noticed their Helix's running really hot under heavy load? Is this normal?
Solved!

I'm in the same boat as you on this. It can get very bad sometimes. Under light use, it never get's as cool as I feel it should. I go through the currently running applications and try to run as minimally as possible, but it still creates a fair amount of heat. My battery life is around 6 hours with both batteries too. I definitely don't get the 8-9 hours it's supposed to be getting.
I think the 10 hrs thing was for the i5 model. It's still five times longer than my X201t with 4cell battery, so I'm happy with this. Shorter battery time is something you have to live with if you are going to use an i7 machine on the go.
I also heard that actually the RTM version of the Helix IS the revised version from the initial batch(or the previewers' batch)... I heard the first machines were truely HOT.
[Added] Also, I think long term heat damage will be of less concern in case of the Helix. The business already has many years of slate tablets with standard CPUs that did have problems with heat(namely, Asus EP121 which had its LCD turn yellow because of heat, and Samsung Slate 7 which had serious throttling issues in its early days). If Lenovo HAS intelligence to learn from the history, which I want to believe they do, they should probably would have dealt with that, considering this machine may actually be a second revision. And even if I don't believe Lenovo, I still trust in Yamato Lab.

Iphone pretty hot in normal usage & drain untill 14%

just bought my iphone 4s from DIGI 2 weeks ago, sometimes i cant answer incoming call while the screen jus hanging on "unlock phone" screen & only on vibration "while i not on silent mode".Then, going back DIGI for advice, but any ask me to update to IOS 5.1.1.
After updating IOS, nightmare started, the phone getting hot in normal usage even warm while i put on sleep mode.
Is this normal for brand new iphone 4s which battery only support up to 6 hours standby with minimum usage?
Is this hardware problem?
Anyone can help me?

I suggest you restore the phone immediately. Especially if the area just above the sim card slot gets warm. This happened to me. I ignored it for a while and now I am sufferring from burned out Baseband chip. This happens when the settings get stagnated after an update. Backup the iPhone before you start. And unless you have really pressing data you want back, I recoomend you start a fresh without restoring a backup.
To restore the iPhone, connect to iTunes and click restore. This will wipe out everything on the iPhone. Everything.

How hot exactly can a macbook pro 2011 get before overheating.

I want to play games on my macbook pro 2011, but I only want to play ones that will not overheat it, and it tends to get hot on some of them, how hot exactly can they get? at what temperature will they overheat? is there a way to check?

You may download from the Internet iStat pro which monitors the internal temperatures of the MBP as well as the fan speeds. The temperatures can get as high as 100 C. but before any harm can occur there are internal temperature sensors that will shut the MBP down.
Ciao.

How can a normal user get shmmax, shmmin value programmatically on sol10?

How can a normal user( not root ) get shmmax, shmmin value programmatically on solaris10?

The Sun Solaris 10 documentation is clear enough on what tunables still exist, although I have found inconsistent information about the default values of at least one. What isn't clear is the best way to check these values from within a zone. sysdef is no longer useful for these, and grep'ing in /etc/project isn't very elegant, and doesn't help if the default values are in use.
For programmatic access, you'll need to use
getrctl(2). There's an example in the manpage.I suspect that what was wanted was not just a C interface to get these values but something that might be used in a shell script. I second that.
The Zones forum is not exactly the best place for
this kind of query, though.Kernel tunables are proving to be one of our biggest obstacles to getting 3rd party apps to install in a zone because of old methods of checking for appropriate values. It would be great if Sun provided more help on this than the getrctl manpage.

How can I see how hot I'm running?

Is there a small app or something I can install to see what temperature my macbook is running at? Assuming there is what temperatures are good and whats to hot?
Thanks.

Yes, you can use CoreDuo Temp or Temperature Monitor, although I can't use Temperature Monitor without CoreDuo Temp running first as it says it can't find any sensors.
As for good and bad temperatures, there are a couple threads around on that, but it seems to be tied more to the lap burn and mooing aspects. Everyone's machine is going to be different as is everyone's tolerance for something warm on their lap should they choose to rest their MacBook there (there are also several threads on just that topic alone). Likewise, the general thought on the mooing seems to be tied to the fans and their cycling on and off, and again, here we see some difference in MacBook behavior which could be, in part, tied to the environment where they are running.
Here are some threads here with some good information:
