Hey, First post!

Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong forum ..

So I just bought a Macbook, which I'm loving and like a lot of people I'm worried about the temperature of my Mac. So I've done lots of reading up on this subject and took the steps recommended by another 'forumer' (Download iStat Pro).

But my problem is, when people are discussing this and they say for example- 'Should be about 50 C', which temperature are they referring to? I have 8 readings, but have no idea which they mean, or are they referring to all the temperatures should be around 50c?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if this has been posted before, just chuck me a link.

Thanks
:)

It's likely the CPU temp that's being referred to.

50c to mid-60s is normal. I'd only be concerned if the CPU temp is heading towards 70c.

Like DrDoof says it will increase gradually after startup and under load.
