I have a MBP 17", 2.8 Core 2 Duo (late 2009 model) and 4GB ddr3 memory running FCP 7.
I have recently purchased a Panasonic SD60 video camera and have been learning to use both.
When using the 'log and transfer' option to take the footage from the SD card to the computer, whether the clip is 1min or 10mins, the computer reaches temps of 90 degrees and higher! Istat menu also shows that both the processors are maxing at 99-100%. Nothing else is running i.e from a clean boot and the fans are at default speed = 2000rpm.
My mate can't remember exactly (he will tell me in a few days) but using the same camera and doing the same things on his 2008 MBP, he gets temps of about 60-70 degrees.
I can understand that it is really CPU intensive to transfer full HD footage but do these readings sound 'right'? Surely leaving the computer transferring the footage for 1 hour at 90+ degree and both processors can't be good?!
Thanks for anything you can shed from your experience! Cheers.
