Ford Prefect · **High temps after 0.8.3 Final -** 01-31-2010, 04:50 PM

I was seeing temps in the neighborhood of 100-105ÂºF (37-40C) while running RC3, but after updating to the Final version, I'm now seeing 120-130Âº (~50C) while browsing, and 150-160Âº (70-75C) while watching hulu.com. Should I be concerned about his?

normal ranges, you can try to update your bios

Can that be done in OS X?

As the process is carried out directly from a bootable device, it doesn't matter which OS you have installed, as you are working at 'hardware' (rather than software) level.

its not necessary to update the bios, i only would imagine you, cause you working with the old a04.
The new a06 bios, just come as an windows version from dell.

I update with a windows live usb stick.

Meklort said, he wanted to write an app, that update the bios under osx, but didnt know, how far meklort ist with this project.
