1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : running hot (Message 2476) Posted 1 Sep 2004 by old_user847 Post: > What are you using to measure the temperature? It's a laptop. The "temperature measure" is my ears. My ears hear the fan kick on shortly after starting boinc and shortly after I close it down. I do other processor intensive work and don't get the fan to run constantly over time. Watching it run "hot" with the fan on for over an hour made me a bit worried. Thanks for the utility. I will check the actual temp. I don't want to damage the computer but do want to help out.... :)
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : running hot (Message 2280) Posted 31 Aug 2004 by old_user847 Post: I\'m on a Mac 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4 with 512 MB DDR SDRAM. When I start up the boinc for climate prediction (YES I got it running just fine) The problem is that it runs too well. The fan turns on shortly after I start the program. I looked at my \"online\" preferences to see if there was an adjustment there I could make - nada. I have everything else on the computer shut down and it\'s still running and running HOT. Suggestions, ideas?? buy a new computer ;) TIA
