Idle Temp of 28C (82F) !!! ...but are the fans working?
Ok now that I have your attention :P
Seriously though here is my info, as no one has really posted everything about their MBP's when posting their temps.
CPU on Idle
- A cold boot (was off for few hours)
ambient (room) temp, 15C:
MBP feels like its been in the fridge and starts up with 8C cpu temp. It gets up to 15C, then 24C and stays in mid 30's after 5-10% cpu usage.
- Waking up from sleep
ambient temp, 17C:
MPB feels normal, idle temp of 28-38C.
- Has been on for several hours
ambient temp, 17C:
If I'm not running many apps it may idle at 38C/41C.
Other times (like now) 46C. MBP feels warm but not hot.
High CPU Usage
When running 'yes > /dev/null' in Terminal or ripping a CD cpu temp gets to around 75-80C. But will cool quickly once processor is idle again, to around 45-50C.
Medium CPU Usage
Let's say 20-50% cpu, this is rough guide, I get temp of mid 50's and sometimes above 60C.
(Note: I used Temperature Monitor for temps, and had usually an ambient temp of 17C, though it might be a little warmer. I also have the firmware update from factory).
Other info:
Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B03
SMC Version: 1.2f10
And yes I do have a question ^_^;
Is the faint woosh on the left of the keyboard the HD fan or the CPU fan?? Many people are saying with the new firmware their fans run constantly. I initially thought this must be one of the fans.
