Hello all,
I've had my iBook G4 1ghz (actually runs at 1.07 ghz for some reason), and I've zero problems with it, fantastic machine. But today I noticed the section over the vent on the left side of the chasis was pretty darn hot. I downloaded a temperature measuring app, and it said that the temp on the bottom side of the processor was a 62.5C while the on-die temp of the cpu itself was a whopping 68C!! Now, I've been overclocking PC's for years and I've never had temps anywhere near that high, and those systems are running in the range of 2-3ghz, which is 2-3x the clock speed of my iBook. What's equally disconcerning is I can't remember the last time the system fan came on. Should I be worried? Thanks for any help.
