[QUOTE=victorvicentim;186256]I dont get it. how can I reduce the amount of time of the other alications?[/quote]
By not running them. If you see that Safari is using 10%, simply exit Safari when you are not using it. [quote]And Im really worried about the cooling cause my laptop is getting pretty hot and never turns of the cooler, im afraid it will ruin it or something.[/QUOTE] I've been running Prime95 on a MacBook Pro nonstop for 18 months without problem. Of course, that is no guarantee that you won't run into problems. |
oh thanks.And you know on the activity monitor that says number of threads? Mine says 4 is that the normal or what?cause i read something about 2 threads I dont know if its the same thing.Do you know how to make the benchmarks of the cpu closser to the average cause i just sent a benchmark and its still way over average.

I think it should only be running 2 threads. Make sure Intel Speedstep is disabled (BIOS option on PCs but not sure how you do it on a Mac) for best benchmark time. I don't think that processor has the hyperthreading option so that should not be an issue. Intel specs that processor to "Thermal design power" of 105C which is very hot before it should be harmed at all. It would be normal for your cooler fan to run all the time while mprime is running. |

Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac? |

That is normal. Two worker threads, one thread to handle the GUI, and one to handle various timed events. Only the two worker threads are CPU bound. |
