UFO Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 MY STORY: I used osX86 to test out copying a DVD on my Toshiba Satellite Duo 2 Core and boy did the CPU get hot! Temperature of CPU during this task: Approx. 98 Celsius Fan Speed: Approx. 5200 rpm My Toshiba OsX86 seems to be working fine still, but is this way too hot ??? Will the life of this computer be shortened? I'm sorry if this has been discussed already, but i want to hear others more clearly on this issue. I do not want to burn up my "new osX86 Hackintoshi computer" or experience random shutdowns because of melted wires do to intense CPU usage. I want to know my limitations and if i should only surf the web and email on this thang. What should i do? A. do not use programs that make my macbook work hard? B. don't even sweat it, these macbooks were made to run regularly at 80 or even 90 degrees celsius when performing CPU intensive tasks? C. clean up the thermal paste issue that others mention (even though i don't know how)? D. send it back and get a new macbook that does not overheat? E. buy some dry ice? F. buy an external hard drive and load os x on it and boot from external HD to reduce heat? G. buy another lapcooler, even though they don't seem to cool much. (2-3 degrees maybe?) H. find me a mini-superman who can periodically blow cool air onto my macbook inerds when it gets hot? I. Regularly drink ice tea and hope that magically helps my macbook? J. Only use my macbook for browsing the internet and checking my email?
