1st Generation MacBook Pro Insanely Hot While Running Spaces in Leopard
October 28th, 2007 by steveblue
My 1st Generation MacBook Pro Intel Duo Core runs insanely hot while editing video in one Space, using Safari in another Space, chatting in iChat in a third Space. Luckily, there is a third party fan controller I use so my MacBook Pro doesn’t blow up (I already had to send back one MagSafe that fried due to overheating). Even smcFanControl seems to have a hard time handling the 175 degree F temps coming out of my MacBook Pro. This thing is not getting anywhere near my lap, that’s for sure. Anyone with a 1st Gen MacBook Pro running Photoshop, Final Cut, Max/Msp, or any other heavy duty Application while using Spaces should download smcFanControl.
