M J Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Since I installed Lion CPU temperatures have risen. I get 80-85 °C after a few minutes of running Mail + Chrome, even if I do nothing at all. With Leopard 10.5.6 I would get 45-50 °C at the most in those conditions. Now, I've been running Lion for a few days and spotlight has definetly done indexing, so that's not the problem. And the CPU load is around 5-10%. I've read around the internet that Lion tends to get CPUs hot. Any idea for a possible solution?

svencux Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 having the same problem. Since i do have Lion installed the CPU temps are higher. before about 39°C now with Lion about 53°C I have not found a solution yet. I believe it has something to do with the fakeSMC.kext Hope some of the experts arround here will solve it.

M J Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Turned out I had Intel C-STATE Tech disabled in the BIOS, and the Q-Fan control disabled as well. Things are back to normal now!
