Apparently there is a known problem with excessive thermal compound having been applied between the CPU and the cooling devices on some MacBooks. This is a defect that can easily be addressed quickly by a competent technician, without the need to replace parts. Follow-up with Apple to have it addressed.
Absolutely will do! Its only really hot above the F keys. I cant hold my finger for more than 3 seconds without it really burning. I did look at all of the programs running and i have safari, quicksilver and dashboard going. Thassss it. As of right now it is constant at around 135 F or 58 C. whichever you want to use. Im out of the state right now, but as soon as i get home, im hitting the apple store. And to the other guys post, not going to upgrade, since I recently got this one (of course, about 2 months before the switch over Do I have to ask for anything imparticular, or mention the thermal compound?? or do you think they should already have that in mind? thanks
