fleisch Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi everyone! My System now works really great: Asrock 775 Dual VSTA Samsung SATA HDD E6400 Core 2 Duo Geforce 7900 GT full ci/qe/opengl But...I experienced crashes when installing multiple apps at the same time while running other programs... So afte some searching I installed Temperature Monitor and it showed the cpu temp being really high...67°C. When rebooting and going into bios it shows a temp of only 45°C as it does when idle in Windows. Why is the temp in mac os so high? I read that the E6400 stops at 70°C so that could explain the crashes right? please help! cheers fleisch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodl Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 boot a windows drive and use coretemp while running orthos or prime95, if its still hot replace your hsf with someting more beefy or reapply thermal paste and resit hsf after cleaning the old stuff off properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleisch Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 within windows the cpu temp is idle at 34°C!! sometimes even less...it never gets up to 60°c. so eather temp monitor in osx doesn't show the right temperature or mac os makes my cpu explode.. any other thoughts?

SA22C Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Both my Core 2 Duo systems report incorrect temperatures under OS X. Most likely the chip isn't actually running that hot, it's just that the temperature reporting in OS X for hackint0sh hardware isn't very well developed and you're getting incorrect values. If you have a portable, make sure that you've removed the thermal .kexts so that the notebook's hardware is controlling the fan rather than OS X. That resulted in a 10 degree decrease in core temperature on my laptop. My desktop system runs fine under OS X even with the thermal .kexts installed with days and days of uptime and nary a problem.
