My old MacBook Pro I had for more than 5 years is 90% of the time around 100C. Whenever I'm working or playing. It's still working good.

- TheArcane 8y ago100C is the boiling point of water.
- chrisseaton 8y agoSo what? What's the boiling point of water got to do with anything? Is your CPU made of water?
- ZiiS 8y agoNo but your lap is (mostly)
- chrisseaton 8y agoWhen people say the ‘CPU’ in this thread, they don’t mean the whole main computer unit, if that’s what you’re thinking. They mean just the little chip inside. There’s a cooling system so it isn’t actually anywhere near that hot on your lap.
- mirimir 8y agoTrue. But I've used laptops where the fan exhaust was unbearably hot. And I'm sure that was much cooler than 90°C. So maybe someone could check exhaust temperature on a 2018 Macbook Pro with i7 under heavy load. I get that the exhaust ports are on the back, near the display hinge. But that still might be iffy, for those who cross their legs.
- piva00 8y agoI hope there is no water whatsoever in your chips.
- skate22 8y agoDoes liquid cooling count
- rtkwe 8y agoThat's not in the chips. The liquid in a cooling loop doesn't get to the temperature of the actual die if it did it wouldn't actually be cooling the die any more. Also the temp reading are down in the die itself and there's a gradient between the die -> heatspreader -> cooling block (air or water) -> 'cooling medium' (ie air/water).

- dTal 8y agoThat's a ridiculous temperature. That is literally the thermal limit for all recent Intel CPUs - they throttle to avoid actual damage at that point. No computer, not even a thin laptop, should be hitting that temperature or anything close to it.
