so have 2011 macbook pro, 2ghz , hd6490 256mb graphics card.
have played light games minecraft , tf2 on it, gets hot (definitely when playing tf2).
wondering if had macbook pro 6750m or 6770m , better processor 2.4ghz if run little cooler since these games wouldn't utilizing of these more powerful chips.
thanks!
that's normal mac notebooks. intel processors used in macs designed automatically shut down prevent damage if overheat. cpu tjmax = 105c, gpu tjmax = 100c on i3, i5, i7 processors. (source: intel) if you're not using it, istat pro give accurate readings of temps , fan speeds, among other things.
unless there rare defect in mac, temps within normal operating range, considering workload being put on it. websites flash content, games , other multimedia apps put higher demand on cpu/gpu, generating more heat. normal. if you're putting high demands on system, such gaming or other multimedia tasks, expect temps rise , fans spin accordingly. it's mac doing job maintain temps within normal range.
quite normal mac become extremely hot touch during intensive operations. aluminum body transfers heat more other materials used in computer casings, feel heat more. doesn't indicate it's overheating , not harm computer hot touch.
fans on when mac on, spinning @ minimum of 2000 rpm (for mbps) or 1800 rpm (for mbas, mbs , minis). imacs have 3 fans minimum speeds in 800-1200 range. spin faster needed keep temps @ safe level. if they're spinning without increased heat, try resetting smc. (pram/nvram has nothing these issues, resetting not help.)
intake , exhaust vents in of computer near hinge on mac notebooks. imac vent slot on near top of computer. make sure vents remain unblocked allow computer perform @ best.
learn fans in mac
apple portables: operating temperature
