  • That's a pretty expensive longwave UFPA. IIRC it's the same as the Mikron scanner. You must do electrical or building IR.

    What processes were running when you scanned it?

    You used a E=1 and with the aluminum finish on the case, I would think the emissivity would be lower. Depending on how much lower the E value is, the temperature could be significantly higher. I'll scan my Macbook Pro with a shortwave/cooled scanner and get back with you.

  • Thanks for you comment. I hope to see your testing as soon as possible.

  • is it plugged in?

  • @nfwu

    Apple's G5 Mac Pros used liquid cooling, but they were convection based and thus didn't use any power

  • yeah thats true. On the side where the Airpord Card is there is the hottest spot of the hole machine (exept the bottom)

  • Oh yeah I've got the 17" though, it handle's the heat better than the 15".

  • Thats not even that hot, my MBP is cooler than my HP I had before it.

    Cooler in both senses :)

    My HP's track pad used to get REALLY hot.

  • Nothing much, I would consider an operating temperature of 40+ degrees normal, even for a desktop. =P

  • Laptops can't fucking use liquid cooling. It's a serious power guzzler.

  • Look all I do is put my Macbook pro on top of a ac vent and put some books on the corners so it is like 3-4 in above the ac vents. Because the cooler the chip is the faster the computer will run. BUT there is a range for the chip. If the temp falls below or goes above the temp rang you could have problems. I keep my ac at is 64-68. I'm well in the range.

  • i think that fan may be on fire perhaps...

  • Don't stay on vacation too long mac okay?
