SamK Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I have a Acer Trvelmate 2420 which also overheats when running osx. When running processor intensive programs (usually processing avi files to burn to DVD using Toast or Burn) it will eventually put itself into sleep mode with no warning - unfortunately I can't wake form sleep so it may as well have powered off completely. Raising the rear of the laptop a little helps airflow and greatly reduces crashes. This only seemed to start when I upgraded my memory to 1GB (2 x 512MB). If I boot into XP there isn't a problem using Cyberlink Power Producer to do the same thing. Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errandwolfe Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Luckily I can say I don't have this problem. Not only are my fans NOT running all the time, but I can say it actually runs cooler (at least by touch) then when in XP. I think this may have to do with the way the actual BIOS handles the CPU fans. Some turn over control to the OS while others (like mine) remain controlled by BIOS.

OMX-Knuckles Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Core Duos, Core Solos and Yonah-based Celeron M's *should* keep hardware control of fan speed and probably CPU throttling under 10.4.8 and 10.4.6. On my laptop (has Core Duo) on 10.4.6 I got automatic fan control but I couldn't tell if it was throttling or not. Under 10.4.8 I get fan throttling and it seems I have CPU throttling as well (via TM2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazar Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hey guys, Same problem here. My Acer A9303 hot like hell! Read this or http://paulicat.freeflux.net/blog/archive/...-under-osx.html Paulicat's solution cool down my laptop a bit . ACPICPUThrottle from Prasys maybe helpful, but not works for me because of AMD. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
