MacBook Pro 17' 2.16 ghz Mac OS X (10.4. I love everything about it, accept the heat it conducts. The core temps aren't that bad, I've used other Intel based notebooks that heated just as much internally - what is different is the aluminum case and 1' thickness, I think. I still wish we just had an option to turn fans on for extra cooling if we wanted at the expense of additional noise.

I had a situation prior to the upgrade where fans kicked on and off in rapid succession in the 60c range. Without information on what is expected of this SMC Firmware upgrade, and any specific changes in 10.4.7 I'm only relaying what *I think* I'm experiencing. Before they were pretty much on or off, now they seem to steadily increase and decrease in speed. I also have noted the fans to be a bit smoother. I don't have data recorded, just impression. What I have noticed is the CPU speeds seem to be changing a bit more aggressively. I wish Apple would give us some control over the fans so we can reduce the temp of the case, and reduce the heat buildup internally. What you need To set up and use a new Apple Watch, you need iPhone XS or later with iOS 17. So if the case was and effective heat sink like you seem to think, then the fan would have pulled the heat from the case, which would have pulled the heat from the CPU and reduced the temp of the actual chip. Guess what? The cpu temp only varied about 5 degrees which is the same fluctuation you get normally under visualizer. i turned the fan on and let it run, for 10 -15 minutes, until the case was nearly cold to the touch. then I ran the itunes visualiser until the temps hovered around 75c. I set up my 15' MBP up on 4 small boxes about 6-8 inches off of my desk, and placed a small fan about 5 inches in diameter underneath, at an angle, to blow the hot air towards the back of the case. I can prove to you the case is not a heat sink. The fact that the case gets hot tell you that the heat is building up around the three chips that rest at the lcd hinge. Here, you can view the temperature, voltage, and utilization of all.

You can display your temperatures on your taskbar for constant monitoring. A simpler method is to open a demanding program and run it alongside HWMonitor.

However, the software should still work perfectly fine if you don't mind installing free software designed for gamers.I am tired of everyone thinking the case is the heat sink. Open Hardware Monitor allows you to display all details (temperature, storage space, clocking speeds, etc) of each individual component in your computer. Naturally, this isn't particularly well-suited to business-focused laptops from Dell and HP. But it seems unlikely that the software fix will be ready in time for the December 25th ban date. However, the purpose is generally the same despite some variants like MSI Afterburner having a GPU focus, it still offers CPU temps. I use an NZXT-branded PC case and the CAM software to control my RGB fans, tying their colors to the CPU/GPU temps (green is good, red is too hot.) Branded companion appsĮach branded companion app has its own documentation, so the steps for accessing CPU temperatures differ.

It's perfectly fine to install NZXT CAM and use it to check temperatures, even if you don't use its parts. Many companion apps are cross-compatible with other branded hardware, so you don't necessarily have to pair them perfectly. ❌ Not so great for: OEM business-grade laptops.Īnother method that leans towards desktop PCs for its usefulness, but does have some carry-over into gaming laptops is taking advantage of companion apps from various component manufacturers.įor example, ASUS ROG devices usually have Armoury Crate pre-installed, its first-party software suite designed to tweak performance with the side effect of showing live temperature readings. ✅ Great for: Custom-made or pre-built gaming desktops and laptops.
