Widget fun
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008I have a new favorite, iStat, which provides computer/system data similar to Activity Monitor but also includes temperature data - for my powerbook it lists CPU bottom, CPU top, trackpad, battery, power supply, and hard drive temperatures. The temperatures that are reported actually make me feel better about using my cooling fan base, since I didn’t know if I was being too silly. Currently, having been used lightly for an hour but sitting just on a placemat the kitchen table, the temps range from 38 C (trackpad) to 51 C (CPU top). If I were making it work I’m sure those would be higher, and that’s not going to make hard drives happy.
