First and foremost thank you for taking the time to reply.
I wasn't aware CGMiner doesn't cpu mine either. I read that they did away with GPU mining.
I used GuiMiner when I was having issues installing CGMiner but it shot my Mac temp to around 212 216 so I stopped it.
Any suggestions on a miner I could use without temp problems? I'm thinking about building my own computer with these:
Rosewill PATRIOT Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill Stallion Series RD700 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
HIS IceQ Boost Clock H795QC3G2M Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Kingston HyperX Blu Red Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1RK2/16
Felt that'd be a pretty decent setup for a dedicated mining rig to start with. I feel in the long run mining on one of my macbook pro's will hold me back.
