TAFKAS Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi all, I'm experiencing overheating problems since I've updated my Hackintosh from Dual to Quad core. I'll try to explain my issues as briefly as I'll can. I've a ThermalTake Soprano Vx case with a rear 12 cm fan connected to the MB and the usual cpu fan over my Q9400. They seems to spinning all the time but it seems not to accellerate when I start some 3d renders that rise the temperature from the usual 45/50 to 83 °C. My HackPro is up and running 24/7 and soon will be Summer with high room temperatures, so I'm worried about frying my CPU. There's any way to control the speed of the fans without hacking the kernel or install kext that could damage my perfectly stable system? My OS is a Retail Leo 10.5.7 installation Thank in advance for any help you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrinehart93 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 With the CPU running at 83c, you're already going to damage it. Don't run your computer unless you can get that fixed. The max safe operating temperature for Core 2 Quads is about 71c... And that's pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
