Operating Temperatures

[apunpktun]

Hi

I was wondering what are the decent operating temperature for Macbook. Last night, I was doing some music file conversion (WMA > MP3) and the temperature went as high as 80C for the CPU. Heatsinks were at around 60-85 range. Is this too high range or is this normal. If not, what should be the normal operatig ranges.

Thanks

You are just fine. There really is no need to constantly measure and monitor the temperature. If it ever hit a temp that was unsafe for the system, it would shut down before something negative happened.

You can also find some info here:

My G4 PowerBook reaches that when playing Halo, or using iLife, or doing other heavy stuff

Don't worry.
