10-14C? You realize what temperature that is in farenheit, right? It's around 60 degrees. I seriously doubt your machine is running at 10-14 ˚C unless you're living in the arctic.

I wonder too. Why is he much happier with his 2.0 Blacbkook than the white 1,83?

Now it's in for sudden shutdown repair.

No way!
I remember you and I were on the thread about buying the MacBooks the day they came out, and I'm saddened to hear that you've got yours in for repair...

Yeah. I ordered it the day they were announced, got it pretty fast and it's been going strong ever since.

Unfortunately it started shutting down randomly a few days ago. I brought it in to a local dealer, they checked it, verified that it's RSS, and I took it back home until they get the repair parts. There are so many MB repairs due to this issue that they're having a hard time getting the replacement hardware (heatsink assembly) form Apple. As soon as they get em in, I'll bring it back. Fortunately the repair won't take more than half a day.

Hey folks, new blackbook user here, week 38. I've just had it a couple days and now, after reading all the forums am crossing my fingers. I really do love it though, it's replacing an old 12" AL 867mhz. Quite a bump in speed/features.

[pbollin]

I have a week 39 and no problems yet, just a little warm buts that nothing new for laptops. What program do you use to determine the temperature on the macbook? Is a program installed direct from the factory?

[cwosigns]

Week 38 here white 2.0 GHZ with 2 GB RAM downloading software updates and on Safari and I'm getting 57 degrees celsius (roughly 136 farenheit). Is that about normal?

No problems here yet. :-) it's fast.

Use "Core Duo Temp" (free)
This link mentions a problem with the stability of the temperature reporting of the Intel sensors:

MacBooks don't use BIOS. They use EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface.)

I originally made the first post of 10-14 C. Today it is running at 22C. There can be a varience of Temps Im seeing depending on which program im using to record the temp. I am using Intel CoreDuo which I feel doesn't give the processor Temp because I also downloaded smcFanControl which shows a Higher Temp of 26C HIGHER than Intel CoreDuo.
Doing the tests I only run Safari. I am not convinced that the latest firmware update is a true fix of the problems experienced with the early Macbooks but a band aid so the machine won't shutdown. I can be completely wrong with my conclusion,but why was Apple replacing heat sinks and logic boards unless Apple completely miss diagnosed the problem.

Week 38 blackBook, no issues at all. Beauty.

Week 40 and, so far, have had no problems.

[hookem2oo7]

I've had my week 33 for almost a month now, and I've beat on it (lots of iMovie exports, full processor usage for 30 minutes at a time, etc, etc). So far, no problems, but I'm not exactly getting my hopes up even though my MacBook doesn't seem to run that hot.

[peterauch21]

I have a week 35 and I havent had any issues. It doesnt get to hot either. I dont have any software on it to record the temps though. I'll install one and post again with what my temps are running at.

[xsphat]

I have a week 36, it runs at 86 to 96 degrees F, and I have put it through some work as well - graphics and sound file conversions, a little video work here and there, and everything is going smooth. I am hoping for the best on the shut down deal, but I haven't had it happen to me yet. It plays Quake 4 and Unreal 2K4 just fine (since I upgraded to 2 gigs of memory). The fans rarely come on, and when they do they don't stay on for very long and don't rattle or shake or whatever. This is my first notebook, but I have owned Apples all my life.

Week 18 and runnin' great. I took a trip to my local Apple Store the day of the announcement and picked up mine after using my TiBook 667/DVI for a long 3 1/2 years.
