Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to tell my Macbook to sound an alarm when the Temp goes high.

I am new to Mac :)

I have a PC and I change at what Temp the alarm should sound from BIOS, but I do not know if Mac HAS a BIOS :eek:.

Regards, Khaled

First off why do you want to know if it gets high or not? The fans will kick into a higher RPM if it gets too hot!

It also tells you the rpm of the fans, (usually around 2000rpm in normal conditions - but can get to 6000rpm when quite warm)

If it gets too hot, the computer will shut itself down.

I have been one of those hardcore overclockering enthusiasts for 15 years.
In regards to this, I would suggest you leave your Windows mindset with Windows when you turn your Mac on.

Thank you I will check it now. But does that mean that I can not make an alarm without a 3rd Party app

Ahhh yes, I forgot about this beautiful feature as it has never actually happened to me because it has never really got that hot, it has gotten to around 90C before but then I hear the fans kick in and it is soon reduced to around 40-50C.

Good call Bob

And no, there is no BIOS for the tinkerer in us to play with. Macs use EFI. There is no hard access to the system board (motherboard) settings.
