ascendotuum Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 So I got my MacBook Pro yesterday, this thing is awesome! For those of you that use temperature monitoring software, which ones have you tried and which did you think was the best? I actually haven't tried any of them yet, since I'm currently cloning the OEM drive to my 7200rpm drive. But one that looks promising is simply called "Temperature Monitor" by Bresink Sofware. And I know some of you are going to say not to worry about it, they're built for it and blah blah... but I'm a computer tech by trade and I just have to know these things. So is there something better out there than "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink Software?

blackosx Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 So is there something better out there than "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink Software? As you have a real Mac then google for istatmenus and more of their products. On hacks, Temperature Monitor is all I have managed to find that works. It's generally known to report CPU temps 10 degrees higher than actual. One way to test is to set an alarm in BIOS to compare the differences.

ascendotuum Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ok cool, I'll look into it. I just got my system back up and running, and tried Temperature Monitor. It works well, I only wish that there was some way to turn the dock icon off altogether. I have it set on the menu bar and that's all I need. Oh well. Time to check out istatmenus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/173132-temperature-monitoring-software/#findComment-1190002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascendotuum Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Well I looked at istatmenus, and I like it alot. It's more advanced than "Temperature Monitor" and I think it's cleaner and looks better also. It's highly customizable as well. Thanks for showing that to me.

Italia64 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 check out CoolBook http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html It is $10 but well worth it if it will run on your Pro. Allows throttling, undervolting, etc., in order to maximize battery life by decreasing energy demands and temp. I use it on both of our MacBooks to decrease operating temps.
