On a similar note, there is a problem with overheating of the AMD based Compaq v6000z laptops that causes the wireless card to disappear. I just thought about finding some HP machine to move the BOINC to. If your machine has really suffered as you claim, you' have either been extremely unlucky and managed to get a machine that contains totally crap parts, or you put it in an oven at 220c. I know a couple of people that run other projects and they have both MacBooks and MacBook Pro, running most of the time, none of them have had a failure related to Boinc.

Lets see know the MacBook Pro has been out how long?Īnd all of a sudden running Boinc will kill it? Rubbish. There is a web page with MBP temp records.

Extreme heat at full speed is quite common on the machines. Then I went through some forums and found I'm not the only one. I could feel it's hot, but did not think this may be produced by software.Īfter 8 months I found my computer is in a bad condition and got mainboard and battery replacement from Apple because of that.Īfter the repair I found there is almost no difference - again all fans at full speed, again the whole thing very hot. I run into a problem, fortunately got warranty repair and just want to share this with others just because it can happen.Īt first I wasn't aware of the heat problem.

Any other CPU hungry software may do the same.Īnd I'm not saying this will definitely happen to you. If you don't have the problem then you're lucky or I'm unlucky, or the message is to all prospective unlucky MacBook Pro 15" owners. So, after years of crunching and warranty repair I must quit or find some "cooler" machine :-Lĭid I say all of sudden? Couple of months? The good news is Apple will do warranty repair/replacement if you wont' tell them what you did to the hardware :-) Assuming your machine is still on warranty. This may loose connection or event melt down (fortunately I only read about it). Again, after couple of months some performance degradation will sustain even if cooled. The next is the logic board - when constantly overheated it will run slightly slower, sometimes even stop for couple of seconds. And on low voltage it will rather suddenly shut down the computer instead of safe sleep. After couple of months it will loose 50% of health. The first victim is the battery - it is not able to recharge properly when overheated. This causes a constant 100% load on all processors. It can safely run an hour or two of continuous full CPU load but no more.Īnd what BOIC does? I uses "free CPU cycles" - all the leftovers. I guess they balanced some CPU load/average use ratio the cooling system can deal with. In other words your MacBook Pro is prone to overheats. Even if fans spin at full speed all the times. The bottom of the chassis will be so hot you may risk you health if you put in on your knees -) Unfortunately the chassis and heatsinks are not able to throw out that much heat for a long time.
If your computer or device is out-of-warranty, or even considered "vintage," we can help you! And if you have used Apple products, we want to buy them from you! Or, we'll even offer you more if you trade them towards something newer.Be aware running the BOINC most of the time can cause severe damage to your hardware! Sound like a joke?ĭue to the Apple design, the MacBook Pro heats a lot under full CPU load - don't be surprised to find your CPU is 90C/194F.
