Q: Safe Operating Temps for 8+ Hours a day
Hi there:
I've searched the forums for some information regarding safe temperatures for my Macbook Pro, however, many of them are either dated or not my model. I may have missed one about mine so I apologize if this has already been answered.
I have a early 2011 15" Macbook Pro with the following specs:
- 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
- 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (after market - Crucial)
- AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
My CPU is consistently running between 65C ~ 90C and I'm worried that by using my personal computer at work for 8+ hours a day I'll be overtaxing it and I'll have to get a new one.
Does anyone have any current data on these older laptops? Everything I'm finding is from 2011/2012 so I'm not sure if this is current.
Thank you,
Justin
