[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1188801, member: 24160"] I see nothing out of line with those temps. There is no "issue". imho: I spent almost two years looking at that stuff on my first Mac. I can only suggest you remove those temp monitoring apps (as I have), forget you ever knew anything about it and enjoy using your Mac again. And this, from someone that has been a pretty avid hardware enthusiast, overclocker and home building all of my own Win boxes since '95 - where I do pay particular attention to system temps. The lower the temp, the better the overclock I can obtain to a certain extent. I do not look at this stuff on stock equipment and consider it to be a waste of time for the average computer user that is not doing any overclocking even on their Win machines. It is particularly useless on a Mac since you have no BIOS to play with to adjust any settings. For the average Windows user, I only recommend they open the side case once every 3-6 months and clean the dust out of it. When your Mac begins shutting itself off out of the blue, that's the time to consider it may have a heat issue. At which point, there will be some hardware issue for which you should take it in to Apple under your warranty. [/QUOTE]
