Thanks Alex for the input! Apparently the theory is incorrect, in as much as there is still a heat protection function in the newer SMCs. It would however be great to be able to confirm this on one of the other machines, and then preferrably by anyone who has reported fans not moving. Perhaps those experiments were never allowed to proceed beyond the 95 degC required to set them off. Or maybe the temperature limit is what changed? After all, 95 degC is a fairly high temperature :-)

Status in Mactel Support: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Release Notes: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Intrepid: New Bug description: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic Testing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro rev. 3. Installing today's updates, the MacBook gets extremely hot and automatically goes into standby. This looks like an emergency standby caused by the EFI or something because it got overheated. Unless you put a metal plate or something under it, the fan runs on highest level at full power, which is not the usual. Is there a tool you can see the CPU temperature with? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
