ShiftOnYou Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hey all I run OSX 10.4.9 on my IBM T60... all works great but the CPU Temperature is @ 75Celsius (dont know Farenheit) if i run WinXp its only 50Celsius. What could be the reason? Greets Shifty PS: Sry 4 my english Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspr Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hello, how did you evaluate the CPU temperature ? Did you compare Bios CPU temperature ? If you used a software like SpeedFan it's possible that it doesn't register a correct temp 75° C is a very high temp... :censored2: To be sure you can read the temperatures directly from bios Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftOnYou Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 i know that its high... thats the cause iam asking ^^ i evulated it with everest (for Windows) i rebooted with winXP. So it also could be that it was near 80 ... :-/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspr Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Look for temperature in Bios... If these values are correct I suggest you to change your CPU heatsink Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftOnYou Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 hmm.... that wouldnt work... i have a Notebook (IMB t60) and why should i?!? it only gets so high with mac ... on windows i can play Battlefield 2 or FarCry with a avg temp of 65C... Is it possible that mac automaticly overklock my system?!? (thats not possible right...?) ... and i trust everest... its a good tool and get the temp also from the bios but under windows ;D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspr Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sorry I forgot that you've a notebook I'm running both OSX both WinXP on my PC but I don't find a real difference in temperatures. I don't think that OSX automatically overclock your system. To be sure you can look in System configuration or you can use Terminal Did you change your FSB value at OSX boot ? To reduce OSX temp you can try to enable speedstep with the new kernels (ACPIcputhrottle.kext etc) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftOnYou Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 ok i try speedstep and no i didnt change the FSB i have a t2500 @ 2.0GHz (Dual Core) thats enought 4 me and its only a Notebook Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftOnYou Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 hmm i figuert out... that i have no idea how to do this ^^ can you give me a hint ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-417504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamK Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have the same problem with an Acer Travelmate laptop. The laptop is dual boot and works fine with XP. In OSX it gets so hot it shuts itself down. My solution was to buy an external USB powered cooling pad Sam.

Azurael Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Badly designed cooling system. Aye, OS X doesn't seem to halt (C1/C1E) CPUs at idle on many machines, but that should give you a representation of how much heat would be generated when running at 100% CPU usage at any time, so the machine would probably also overheat and shut-down while running a game under Windows which pegged the CPU too. I suggest that if you can get it to shut off under windows with a high CPU usage app, like Intel's TAT or Orthos, you've got good grounds to complain to the manufacturer and demand a replacement.

ShiftOnYou Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 i tested my laptop already. i can run prime95 10hrs and the temp dont get so high... last highest temp was 81Celsius!!! Is there no way to fix that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58469-cpu-temerature-to-high/#findComment-418249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
