Heat on the MacBook

Is it normal for my MacBook to get hot when watching videos? I find when I am just browsing the net and msn etc it does not get hot but as soon as it start watching videos it does.


And also the is the "right" temp it should be at?

At the moment my HD temp is 39 my cpu is 63

Thats not hot to be honest...

I've had 85+ temperatures. It can get quite warm sometimes, maybe even "hot, but its not something to worry about. The fans will equalize it to a stable amount of heat and if needed, the Mac will shut itself down.

oh ok cool thanks.

But I did notice it only happens when I am using realplayer

apart from real player is there other programme which can play rmvb files?

Hey don't worry buddy that is normal my macbook pro reaches 90 degrees Celsius sometimes. The macbook has thermal protection, so you can't really overheat it even if you tried.

I doubt RealPlayer is a very optimised piece of software. Sounds like it works the machine quite hard.
