well ya that's only if there is a major problem..
There's no real "in between" way of measuring if a specific temperature & fan speed is
"good, ok, slightly bad, or bad"...because the parameters/conditions that you're using your MBP under vs. someone else with the exact same temp/rpms...are not comparable.
Two people with the exact same temps & fan rpms...could be doing drastically different things & and be doing them under drastically different environmental conditions:
- If you were using your MBP in the middle of the hot Sahara Desert...and someone else was using their MBP in Alaska...that's a BIG difference in operating conditions.
- If you were playing Diablo 3 for the past 2 hours...and someone else just had their MBP doing nothing...that would be a BIG difference in operating conditions.
- If you had your MBP on a nice flat wooden tabletop...that would be different than if someone was using their MBP on their bed with a blanket on it.
The bottom line's are:
- Shouting out temperatures & fan rpm's don't really mean a whole lot...since different operating conditions can cause different temps & fan rpm's.
- If your MBP is running...then the temps/rpms are fine. If the temps/rpms are "not fine" then the MBP will shut off automatically.
