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. -

Comments:
with the latest .6 CoreDuoTemp program I only get Temp udates for 5 seconds or so. If I put the laptop to sleep and wake it up I get temps... Very annoying. Maybe the buggy nature of these Intel sensors is why Apple did not use them and used the SMC functions instead. Hoping Speedit and others can fix this... Thanks guys!!!
