Hi everyone, this is my first post in the Mac forums.
I purchased my Macbook air a few days ago bur I'm having some small troubles with it. It seems that when I watch quicktime movies my Macs temp goes all the way up to 70C and higher (Peaked at 82C).
Is this usual for a MBA? Just curious because this seems like an unusual thing to be reaching such hot temps from just watching quicktime.
When I stop watching quicktime my temp goes down to about 55-63 but still hot. Fans seem to be hitting 6k RPM but not making much difference to temps.
Are there any known apps that could cause excessive CPU load or high temps? Running Firefox, cyberduck, Adium & Quicktime.
All help is appreciated!
Regards,
James
