Read temperature from MacBook - with this tool it works

With an intelligent tool, you can read the temperature from the CPU on the MacBook:

• Notebooks and MacBooks are built for temperatures of up to 30 degrees Celsius. Use is safe up to these temperatures.
• However, if you use the device on a blanket or if there is insufficient air supply, the temperature of the CPU unit can rise dangerously quickly.
• With the free tool "iStat pro" you always keep an eye on the temperature.
• You can also see the speed of the fan.
• With the paid version of iStat Pro you can also adjust the fan speed individually.
• The free tool is sufficient to read out the CPU temperature.
