katmail Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Zoliky It depend on your CPU Utilization percentage,if you run more than 70 % for a long time then it get hot. If your Graphics cards don't have a proper OS X driver ,the CPU will load more cause your graphics card cannot perform ,only on generic mode you may encounter this problem...Most member here have this issue ... If you have a Desktop your northwood 2G I should have no worry about it,cause the Northwood is the coolest Pentium 4 that INTEL has ever produce ...It will peak around 50 watts.... I be worry if I have a Pentium 4 3G Prescott SSE3 processor cause it can peak around 100 watts OS X86 don't support some hardware,Not supported Hardwares will make the system inefficient. By being not efficent it will generates heat.... For your case no need to worry about Regards katmail Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35799-cpu-temperature-is-hot-in-osx86/#findComment-254846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 At this point is there really any accurate way to monitor your CPU temp within OSX on a Hackintosh? I thought the best you could do is just a reboot and check through BIOS. If there is could a way to monitor CPU tmep could someone shoot a link my way?

errandwolfe Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 It changes with everyone's different BIOS, but if you look around you should be able to find it in there. It is usually not buried or hidden in any way.

Don't have it ,get it from MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg in Apple's update.
