Normal Temperature or Not normal temperature?
Continuing from an older post on this unit (I wish we can find our posts easier rather than having to scroll through hundreds of pages of activity, I gave up on it so making a new post).
MBA 2015 i7 2.2 GHz A1466
This had some issue where it was operating very slowly (likely CPU safe mode was activated), we believed it to be so issue with the SMC so we have changed to a new SMC). Fresh thermal paste etc.....Heatsink is properly connected to the case.
So, Turning on we do a diagnostics and no errors are found.
We then do an etre check on it
We then run TG Pro and the temp is going up & down a lot when opening some apps to test its performance (All seems to be running at the right CPU speed for an i7 of this model). The exhaust did also go in the red briefly.
And finally in case I am asked ;)
I let the unit sleep for awhile and it now reads 40-45 degrees on the CPU......
I think it is OK ....... Unit does not feel overly hot underneath (Normalish)...
I ran a Geekbench on it and the temps during the scan go up and down from 70-106 degrees range and we her the exhaust fan kicking in..... normal is it was a stress test. Bench results are quite impressive and above other 2.2 i7 models!
So, is this about right or do we have an issue regarding temperatures?
I think it is fine and am just showing off LOL but I might have missed something.
Is this a good question?
