Hey guys, i've been getting mixed reactions about the load-bearing temperature of a typical macbook pro. I am running Macbook Pro 5, 3; the model that existed just before the release of the i7 processor MBPs.
I noticed that while i was playing games or something CPU intensive my computer would get very hot and often the performance would go down, even in air-conditioned environments.
Using smcFanControl i determined my usual temperature to be about 60˚ and during gameplay/CPU intensive programs, it would go up to 104˚C and settle at around 98-100˚. Please can someone shed some light on this as i have tried everything, using a cooling pad, opening the bottom to clean out the dust etc.
I confirmed the temperature to be accurate using istat nano in case some of you attributed it to smcfancontrol bugging out.
Thanks in advance!
