Hey Guys,

Ive just bought my MBP 15'4 i7 7200rpm.

Im running avenue 3 layers @ 640x480 and im using smcfancontrol to gauge temperatures and see if its getting too hot.

the current temp is 77-83c is this too hot for my mbp? im new to the world of mac and fried my last computer with high temps at a constant rate.

my mac is propped up so air is getting to it but i do not have a stand yet.

are these temps normal?

Thanks

They do get hot, I have been using SMC fan control too which lets you set your fan speed manually, no problems yet been running it at 4-5k during shows, keeps the temp around the same as yours. (2.5 years and a few hundred shows and counting)

dRead! this is what i wanted to hear and wow i was scared it wouldn't last that log at those temps! very happy to hear this!!! just rendering content for the gig tomorrow!!!

whats your setup btw?

Running two setups, my mobile: MBP 2.5GHz core duo with the GeForce 8600M GT 512mb. and the club system: PC servers(6, with 2 running avenue) Core i7 940 2.93GHz, GeForce GTX 280 1gig, GeForce GTX 250, 2 1tb drives, 2 64gb ssd's, 2 th2go, no really good capture cards yet (have a bunch of BM intensity pro's but drivers don't work with MB/CPU yet, using a cheap Hauppauge card for now). Codecs: DXV and Photo Jpeg.

wow thats amazing! i would love a proper rig like that!

I had the gig with it and the temp stayed at about 57 the whole time. i was using smcfan control too and put it to a higher rpm and i think it helped!

I think th2go is the next step for me. ive made a good couple of hundred th2g clips i just need to test them out
