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. -

CPU core 1 sensor did not show readings above 91*C - it went blank

Cool site! Should be of great help in troubleshooting for many. I noticed my machine's model number was not listed, so I chose the one that was closest to it. My MBP 17&quot; model no. MA092SA/A. I wish there were more people with high ambient temp submitting. I'd like to see if it my machine is within the norm.

Although CPU Core 1 sensor on my machine cut off above 91* C, I don't think have to worry too much as both fans revved up simultaniously to 4700 rpm to keep temp down. The machine is super quiet, to boot! Lovin' it!
