Skype BETA doubles processor temp
Recently I’ve installed the new skype beta.
Thinking to myself, wow this will be good having free phone calls
free video chat
its all good..Installed..Ran..
noticed my processor temp going up..
i didn’t think much of it..considering that it always goes up on my
MacBook Pro, it tends to go up and down alot.
Never to dangerous levels..
I pride myself on the fact that my MacBook Pro was perfect first time
around
anyway, it was getting hotter and hotter i opened some
windows to cool my room down and hopefully my MBP (macbook pro)
This always cools it down a few degrees. Today it didn’t…
Next i propped it against the open window open thinking this would cool
her down…no affect, nothing, not even 5c :S
at this point i was worried…So i decided to pop outside that should
cool it down its night time for crying out loud..still nothing.
The only option was to close skype…once i did that i had instant results
from 83c to 40c in minutes
Skype running:

Skype closed:
![]()
Look I know its just a BETA but…it shouldnt double my temp for just one app..
not even a powerhouse app like photoshop turns up the heat that much :S
This is just a friendly blog advising you of my problems with the new skype..
