ich bin mit mir am ringen dette teil zuzulegen

Geht mir leider genausoTouji said:Ich würde gern mal OSX ausprobieren, nur leider hatte ich bisher nie die Gelegenheit dazu, bei mir in der Gegend hat anscheinend so gut wie keiner so ein Gerät. O_o
Temperature
I'm sure everyone up till this point has been wondering about two specific issues: is the machine still ludicrously hot and does the machine whine like its big brother? First up, let me address the heat issues. Yes, the machine still runs hot. Individuals with access to the MacBook's service manual indicate that it—like the MacBook Pro manual—suggests applying piles of thermal compound. My analysis of the temperatures seem to bear this out.
To test out the temperatures, I loaded up an application called CoreDuoTemp that loads a kernel extension and then monitors the machine's temperature, processor speed, and CPU loading. I then put together a python script that looked like the following:
import math
while 1:
for x in range(10000):
y = math.cos(x)
I then ran two instances of this script in order to peg both processor cores. The system would step the speed of the processor up to 1.833GHz until the processor crossed a threshold of approximately 82°C at which point it would step the processor down to 1.667GHz. When the processor dropped below 80°C it would speed step back up to 1.833GHz and the cycle would continue. As expected, this would cause the system's fans to rev up to their full speed and overall, the machine was very noisy at this point.
I think that most people would agree that a machine running over 80°C is not operating properly. This is especially true when there are several examples of users applying the thermal paste properly, resulting in maximum temperatures of 64°C. 63°C is the idle temperature of the 2.0GHz MacBook in my possession. That should say a lot about whether or not Apple has remedied the error in their manufacturing process.
Second is "the whine." I was never able to hear a well defined "whine" from the MacBook Pro in the first place. If I could hear anything, it was a very, very, very faint buzz when I held my head very near to the machine. As you might have expected, I hear no whine noises from the MacBook. In addition, I don't hear any noise from the machine while it's idle, except for the standard laptop noise generated by the hard drive.
