Mac mini, 2gig, 2GHz Core Duo
around 70 deg C when mining 63 in station
(79 deg at Northbridge, is that GPU?)
no changes when lowering texture and LOD
Remarkably, this increased from 63-65 with the latest patches...

My macbook is cooking as well. This is the only game I play on the mac so I can't compare it to anything else. Has anyone experienced this on WOW or any other client? I just figure that the macbook isn't really designed to play demanding games for a long period of time. It's not as if the fan / vent is well placed or anything.

Its not the demands of the actual game, its the fact (i say fact, but this is only what I heard form some dude in the pub) that the mac eve client in technically the same as the pc client, but macs have to translate it via Cider so it is racking up the cpu demands. Why CCP keeps refusing to build a mac client is up for debate, its defiantly losing them customers, and there is little point in 2 accounts with anything less than a decent mac pro.

What percentage of the userbase is Mac and how much of an investment would be required vs just having the Mac users stick with the Cider wrapping? I think that's the crux of the issue for CCP. I'm sure they'd love to write a native port as it would provide a par experience and likely more customers but just as Windows is a "good enough" Mac clone, the Mac version is for most intents and purposes a "good enough" clone of the PC client for CCP... and for you, since you pay CCP to do it.
I use a raised inclined pad to elevate my '08 15" 2.8 GHz 4GB C2D MBP (9600M GT, connected to an external 1920x1200 panel, KB and mouse). Fans maxxed, I cruise in the high 80s to low 90s (C). For the past six months or so I've been dual-booting into W7 64-bit and playing within that garden, as I get all the other fun toys like EFT and EVEmon, plus consistently smoother and faster FPS (and no slowdown of other aspects of the OS). However, in Windows it runs warmer as its also consistently running more aspects of the client on the 2nd CPU core, and if I'm running dual clients without an external small fan blowing directly across the rear vent the computer will reliably go to sleep by itself.
Venting on Apple laptops has been an issue since they moved to Intel. Note that Apple has patented the "feature" of using I/O ports and the KB assembly as additional cooling venting. So here I am with every single port plugged with something except ethernet and have both CPU cores nearly maxed and the GPU crankin'. Apple didn't design for this being a typical use situation.
Think I might investigate an actively cooled pad of some sort. |

iMac 27 (11,3) with i7.
After an hour of spinning in station (everything is Celcius and control of all 3 fans are left to themselves):
CPU: 57
GPU core: 79
GPU heatsink: 76
LCD proximity: 60
HDD: 51
Primary heatsink: 68
Secondary heatsink: 91
Incoming air: 21
Fan RPMs:
CPU: 980
HDD: 1100
Main: 1600
The secondary heatsink is the entire back side of the computer (I think..), which is a solid aluminum piece that acts as an heat sink by itself... It gets hot. Quite hot even. Altho the GPU gets close to the max safe temp, the heat level of the internal parts are not worrying me one bit so far.
The fans can be cranked up a fair bit. Nothing gets hot at all with all 3 blasting at full flank. Even at 35%..50% rpm overall, the entire computer stays well within temp norms.

Why do you think money from my pocket is flowing towards CCP right now? It does not. Neither does the money of friends nor colleagues I could advertise this game to, which I do not. I don't Twitter about EVE. No Facebook. No blog entry. No face-to-face talking about EVE... just silence.

No crappy piece of software should be able to overheat/damage your hardware. Complain to the hardware producer if it's a hardware problem. Blame Apple for the heat! And be cautious not to buy hot air the next time you select a computer ... lol.

So that means Half Life 2 and Portal 1 (And 2) are crappy pieces of software for having BETTER graphics and runs my MBP's at lower tempatures?
Scuse me? what sort of bull**** are you spraying here?

75 celsius on my 2011 MBP 13" with the i7. Fans run on full blast just after I log in.
On my Mac Mini it runs fine without the fan really kicking in.
I mostly play on my i7 custom-built PC though, don't really get into gaming on the Mac.

I am sure CCP can look in to this matter if enough people start talking about it, maybe twick the client abit for better performance.
A couple of updates ago i looked at the MAC section and lol'd for real :) the changes were made to the game icon.
hope for the best, prepare for the worst
p.s got myself a cooling pad with two fans just so i can play EvE without my computer melting away, and funny enough the temp went up....maybe its the last update or the computer is going crazy "hey i am being cooled from the outside....feck this i am not working *switches oCPU fans*"

Apple Folks,
I use an iMac late 2010 model. I dont think I get the heat quite as bad (as some here) but it still gets hot and I think it could potentially cook an egg (i do love egg tho).
There is a solution whilst CCP feed Haribo to the team that works on the Apple side and try to get them producing some results that can actually satisfy a paying customer (it's a good job we love this game).
Take a look here : http://www.eidac.de/?p=180 and download / pay attention to smcFanControl 2.2.2
This fantastic little program will let you up the speed of the ODD (DVD) Fan, CPU Fun & HDD Fan.
Apple prefer not to let the fans exceed a set speed as the "quietness" of the Apple machines are part of who they are and what they do. This was proven when a friend of mine literately melted his Apple machine and the 'Genius' told him to his face that "Apple would rather the machine melt than allow it to produce more noise".
This is totally bonkers if you ask me but hey, their prices are so why not their theories also!
This program has some issues with some models of Mac, the temp sensor may not work but you should still find that the fan speeds will. Dont worry about setting the speeds to low, your MAC's on board controller will never let the fans drop below what is required.
I have used it and still do, it made my iMac noisy when I turned them up (no shizzle shurlock), but it also made it pretty dam cool. Please use this at your own risk, some people may not agree with using higher fan speeds saying "Why wouldn't Apple program the speeds to go up if needed", the answer is above.
"Technically smcFanControl supports every intel mac, but it does not come with defaults for every machine. If you get the warning, smcFanControl tries to read out the fan-details directly from the System Management Controller. If you follow the instructions (no other fan control software is running etc.) you should have no problem running smcFanControl on a machine it has not been tested on."
If you use the application and the temp sensor does not work for you, Google Temperature Monitor it's free and its gr8 at giving you all the info you need.
I hope this provides some of you a little bit of ease whilst we hope and pray that CCP invest a little more time into the Mac client.
Take Care

Late 2009 Mac Mini. 70-75c Max
Update: 2.53 Core Duo 4Gb Mac Mini, 9400m Late 2009.
Settings 1600x900. Textures High, LOD High, all other settings low or off.
Overall I am content with the performance and stability of the client (perhaps I am lucky or just easily suited). However, I noticed the other night that the temperature in the CPU had reached 77c.
TBH not sure if this is actually a problem for my machine or not (the fan speed was not really much faster) but I would be sad to melt my trusty but venerable machine after all this time! Installed SMC fan control and after a bit of playing around found that a profile of 3000rpm was still silent and held the temp in the low/mid 50s (c). I now just switch to the profile before I run Eve and change back to default (around 1500) after. It seems the preventative action stops the heat even building up.
I also found (although rather a statement of the obvious I know) that when leaving the desk for short periods that cmd and Tab (to flick to desktop) lets a lot of the heat drain away and it was no bother to get into the habit of doing it.
Just my experience but thought I would share.

nah, an open door will make cooling inefficient with constant warm air coming from the room.
and the germs living under your MBP keyboard don't need that much oxygen to survive.

Some of you guys need to get a clue.
Intel rate their Core processors as stable to over 100 degrees C.
Macbook Pro's get hot when they're under load. That's the idea of an aluminium unibody, it disperses heat. You'll notice as soon as you drop the load, all of the temperatures drop rapidly.
You'll also notice people here complaining about heat, but no one complaining of a broken computer.
Either buy a gaming PC or infect your perfectly good Apple product with Windows via Bootcamp(Mac OS will never run games as well as Windows)... Either way STOP WHINING !!!

Right just set up my iMac 2011, i5, 3,1Ghz with the 1 GB 6970. Everything maxed in gfx section and going at 2560x1440.
Temperatures when orbiting the station in a shuttle looking around a bit with the camera is according to iStat Pro widget: GPU about 85 and CPU about 50 (celsius). FPS with interval immediate goe sbetween 70 to 100 fps.
Anyway I can't hold my hand up the top right edge of the screen as it's too hot. And I don't mean "hey that's a bit hot innit" I mean "can I have my hand back please before its turned to ashes" hot. Turning fan speeds up with smcfancontrol get the temps down to around 70 degrees and that's a bit better. BUT, why the hell aren't the fans going off by themselves?? I know Apple want their computers to be quiet and whatnot, but this is ridiculous. In my view this isn't a problem with EVE at all, it's mac OS that sucks at fan control :(
