The down side of those programs is they will shorten the life of your fans. The programs you are talking about will run the fan faster than Apple calls for and are best for a laptop to keep from burning your lap. I have done that with my Ibook and the fan never came on. I suspect you can go over 95 degrees as long as your system is idle most of the time and not generating much heat. The big warning is that Apple rates most of their systems for 95 degrees F so if you are going to run your system in a very warm room, you should watch things close. The warmer things get, the faster the fans run to control the temperature. In the current crop of Apple systems, the fan seems to be controlled by the temperature of the processor and other parts of the system. It will be appreciated if someone out there can help me understand whether or not I am gradually melting the guts of these machines. I have also found articles suggesting that CPU temps are ok up to 100° C. I have found several that discuss leaking liquid cooling pumps burned out mother boards, etc. Recently I have been attempting to find an article with definitive acceptable cpu temps for these two machines. Temp on both computers runs from 50Â☌ to 60Â☌ My inquiry is about the following Mac Models:
