Hello, I have a few questions/problems I hope someone can help me with.
I recently bought a Macbook Pro, and I'm liking it so far, though I think it may be overheating a bit.
I installed Windows XP using Bootcamp, and whilst playing Half Life 2 I saw that my processor temperatures were at the 70 degrees mark (core temperatures), and the GPU temperature at 85 degrees (celcius).
I'm wondering if these temperatures are too high. I know that on a desktop computer this would be rather high indeed, but aren't laptop components designed to go hotter? I'm not sure. Also, is it possible that temperature monitoring software would be innacurate using XP on Bootcamp?
What are the maximum temperatures for my CPU/GPU? Are mine higher than they should be? And if so, would it be easily fixable, or should I give up the idea of gaming on it?
I have a 2.66 Ghz CPU (P8800) and a 9600M GT.
Thanks!
