MACBOOK PRO & SNOW LEOPARD - OVERHEATING

just be sure you repair permissions after the install of Safari 4.0.4 as it acted quite wonky till i did son. The permissions repaired all concerned Safari.

Yeah, I confirm that the Safari file permissions are a mess. My only problem is that now, after doing repair permission, Safari 4.0.4 is behaving badly! Gamespot.com doesn't load the graphics anymore and it became S L O W. Bah. I'll check later.

I downloaded both 10.6.2 combo and Safari 4.0.4. Repaired permissions twice to be sure. Flash is up-to-date. Empty cache in Safari, reset Safari. Reset PRAM. Restart MacBook.

Sometimes temps and fans increase on flash websites, then it calms down.

Webkit plugin host does not take much CPU anymore.

Inconsistent.

I had to restart the router (and I rebooted few times the mac because it was stuck). Don't ask me why the Safari upgrade interfered with the network connection. Anyway, anything is back to normal. Temp around 50-55 C, but it seems that WebPluginHost consumes much less CPU when idle (less than 1% instead of 0-3.5%).

I did a SMC reset and so far everything is working smoothly (knock on wood).

Me too! But my left fan isn't working, and the replacement doesn't get here for another few days. Man my legs are burning!

Tried setting to 32 bit kernel and it didn't fix it (an article somewhere else suggests this is unlikely to be an issue for a MacBook Pro). However, I noticed CPU utilisation permanently running around 99% on one process, a Sophos AV admin process. Checking, I discovered that my institution's Sophos is at an earlier version than 10.6 will support, AND their update is broken, so I was getting neither new AV software versions nor new AV signatures. (It's annoying that the 10.6 upgrade that supposedly identifies incompatible software didn't spot this one.) So I uninstalled Sophos and installed ClamXav. Voila, a nice cool Mac again.

Just had a long train journey with mac on my knees, quite comfortable. Bliss.

there's a new flashplayer prerelease from adobe. i'm not sure if it helps, yet, but i thought i'd share:

LoL!

Thank you for sharing. I downloaded the prerelease and so far, it's going well.

After about 20 minutes of justin.tv, my MB was overheating and fans almost 7000 RPMs.

I uninstalled newer version of Flash and reverted back to latest official version.

I will keep an eye on this prerelease though.

Flash Player performance is largely dependent on how well the web-application (site) was programmed. Please post back if you notice improved performance with the stable flashplayer on justin.tv, thanks TKNY77 = ]

There's better performance on justin.tv on the stable Flash Player. The fans reach 3000-3500 RPMs and temps are warm, not as hot as before. I did everything to fix issue - PVRAM reset, SMC reset, updated Flash to current, permissions, etc.

much appreciated!
