I was wondering if anyone knows what are the safe and dangerous temps for my notebook. I have a temp gage that shows me what the temps are on the cpu and gpu and mem controller , and airport.
Mine are as follows...
CPU A 117 F
GPU diode 137 F
GPU heatsink 119 F
Heatsink B 104 F
enclosure base 90 F
mem controller 108 F
airport card 106 F
are these normal? what should they be at, and what is too hot?
thank you in advance!

Yeah, those temps are normal. There's nothing to worry about.

Great thank you both for your responses! i really appreciate the information!

No problem
. Are you using a Santa Rosa processor (older '07 one) or the new Penryn processors (released last month)? Those temps sound really good for the MBP.

Nothing out of the ordinary
. Around 30-60 C is nothing to worry about, the Core 2 Duo chips are designed to withstand over 100 C in temperature without damage, so don't worry about it.

Sam's right. You should be fine. Those chips are designed to withstand some extremely high temps. Just be glad you don't have the original MBP. One of the women I work with has one, and that is one toasty machine. It could easily heat a small bar.

How did you know is was that type? I am sorry i am learning all the time about these things.

Because of this:
L2 Cache: 3 MB
and this
Bus Speed: 800 Mhz
those are Penryn's characterystics -

32-58C? That's very cool. My system sits there at around 45C doing nothing, and can get over 80C when doing very intensive tasks. So your temperatures are perfectly normal. I've never seen anything below 40C idle, in a cool room.
