Just got a notification through growl that I'm sitting at 160 Degrees F...
Should I be concerned?
quot;Your main processor is overheated. Close CPU-Sensitive Applications.quot;
Put it to sleep for 5 min.
Looks like it was EyeTV. I shut it down, and its down to 145 Degrees...
Yeesh..
160F is only about 72C, which is fairly typical for a MBP under load. I wouldn't worry too much about it; I think whatever temp app is giving you a warning needs a different threshold. (It's safe to go up to 100C, and there's thermal protection stuff that will slow the CPU down before it gets too dangerous.) |
