Yikes, that seems like an issue on its own. It's generally not good for parts to get that hot regularly.
- ztjio 7y agoModern intel parts run that hot no problem, what is normal for temps changes wildly over time across product lines. The current gen CPUs will self throttle at 100C.
- bscphil 7y agoOn the other hand, the fact that the user upthread's computer is quiet even at 97C strongly implies that throttling is happening.
- hnuser123456 7y agoApparently, intel accepted that laptops will just never have decent cooling, so they let the high power chips get right up to 100C and throttle based on how much cooling is available. If your laptop CPU is at 100C and the fans are quiet, you're wasting a lot of performance potential.
- eptcyka 7y agoThe chips themselves will probably outlast their users or at least their own useful lives quite comfortably at 100°C. If sat on a desk, not in something mobile. Heat cycling the motherboards will definitely shorten their effective lifetime significantly. There's no reason not to have proper cooling. Having said that, modern Thinkpads are not great in this regard either.
- BossingAround 7y agoYea no, Apple would rather run hot things quietly... That has been the case ever since retina MBPs came out.
- drunken-serval 7y agoMy 2008 MacBook Pro ran at those temperatures for many years just fine.
- bayindirh 7y agoRunning close to TMax values for extended periods of time is not a big problem. Servers in our HPC cluster runs with similar temperatures even with enough cooling and we change CPUs very very rarely.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoWhy not?
- t34m90fmei90w 7y agoComputers are not humans. 100C is just fine, lots of people are running their bitcoin miners for years on that temp with no issue.
