Thank! However now that this is fixed it seems I have a new developing problem with a nice pretty mosaic! Meh...
running this as we speak (or as i type). it definitely cools down the temperatures and since i hit the moo'ing at 70*C and i haven't even been able to hit 60*C now, i have no moo. yes you can hear the fans but that's only when its dead quiet. i'm willing to bet if you're in any public library or any place other than confined solitude you won't hear it (and no my ears are not blasted by my iPod, i use $500 earphones customed for me). the temperature loss is a bigger gain than the slight hum of the fans imo.
how are you all checking the temps and such? I have a white macbook and I'd like to see if it is running hot, after I install this update.
istat does not report a temperature for my macbook, neither do any of the other widgets I've tried.
I'll look for that one you mentioned.

strange, the core duo temp reports "undefined" as the temperature as well. Anyone ran into this? I restarted and everything.
I'mstill in 10.4.6, in an attempt to avoid the moo and dont have it, Should i updateto .7 and the firmwareupdate? I also dont want "the colored lines" of 10.4.7. any ideas?
Same here.Peace said:
Didn't have the moo before, don't have the moo after, and iStat Nano is showing that it's running about 10'C-12'C cooler.
THANK YOU APPLE!!!!
I don't think the firmware update is tied to the OS, so even if you're on 10.4.6, it should work OK. I'd imagine that Apple could make this update "not appear" on your Software Update if it didn't work with 10.4.6...fivetoadsloth said:
A few folks on the Apple support forums had to reinstall CoreDuoTemp afterwords to get it working again. <shrug>sonictonic said:My iStat nano widget does not report anything for the temp. either. Just a blank section.
@ aristo
My iStat nano Temp section has never worked on my MacBook. Even after deleting it and downloading and installing again.
I'm confused how it works for some and not for others...

I'm topping out at 60 but my Macbook isn't mooing and it isn't hot at all.....I can't complain....however....I have not moved my macbook from my desk since the day I bought it....I have even left the foaming insert between the display and keyboard on the whole time....I use a BT keyboard and mouse.....so after 2 weeks...not a single mark on the thing....and NO MORE MOOOOO!!!!!
yeah, in 10.4.6 apple hid the firmware update but to try to lower the temp
im getting 10.4.7 and than the firmware update.

How many people with 10.4.7 are having the "mosaics" or "linesof dread" at startup?
id really not like to have the computer cool down but instead have fun looking at colorful lines down my screen. ugh, now i cancelled my 10.4.7 update. didnt seem like i needed it and since i maily use it on tables, not my lap, i dont know if its worth the risk.
any thoughts? thanks alot.

Well, let me be the first to say : My macbook is making more noise after installing.
I read this thread, and i listened carefully, and now i notice a constant fan hum.
Before it was humming every so often, now its all the time.. I even let it cool after updateing. Also, it seems to start, and wake up with a fury of fan speed all the time.
I cant remember that happening before, but it might have, just when i re-open the lid i can hear all the fans kick on fast then settle out...
but yes.. the sound went from pretty much nothing to a slight 'grind' even.. I am pretty sure its the fans spinning.
...hooo-ray for apple...
