This site will help collect and show the temperatures of Apple Macintosh computers using the new processors by Intel. All new computers that haven't faced the trail of time will have problems and issues that can make users mad and furious. As with the new MacBook Pro machines where were, and still are, problems with heat dissipation. After scouting forums and help sites for information about what temperatures I can expect on a new MacBook, but that turned out to be harder and more scattered than I first imagined. That's the main motive behind this site and it didn't take too long to setup as I had the base code handy from another site. -

Doesn't really feel too hot to the touch, however Idle temps are very high. Mooing occurs almost all the time at Idle and is easily loud enough to hear, and incredibly annoying!

my Macbook became 20degree Celsius cooler after opening and cleaning it.
openening is easy and the risks to damage something are really low.
there is a great manual on ifixit.com
