Macbook CPU full load, 99 degrees celsius
On my late 2008 13" Macbook 2.4ghz when I run 2 instances of "yes > /dev/null" for 10 minutes to stress the CPU, the CPU temperature is at 99 degrees celsius even with the fans going at the maximum 6200 rpms and while using a cheap cooling pad. I took the computer to an Apple store "genius" and he thought this was normal. Is anyone else seeing temperatures like this using this stress test method? I looked at the website
http://www.intelmactemp.com/ and highest full load temperature I see for this computer is 84 degrees celsius. I have noticed problems running intensive 3d games where the system slows down from high temperatures and more so under Windows XP.
This computer is 4 months out of warranty but until recently I never ran intensive programs and so never noticed the problem. What can I do about this, I feel Apple should be responsible for this.
