Hello all,
Lately my Macbook has been running really hot. I have been doing a lot of video editing (just iMovie) with it recently (about 2 weeks ago) and it's been running hot ever since. It's getting up to 90 degrees C (about 200F) with just chrome running a video or even checking my Gmail. I have been using my macbook on a flat surface on a notebook stand for increased circulation. I cleared all my preferences and all the other stuff that other forums have said to do to make it work faster. I've installed SMC fan but nothing seems to be working. I bought it in August 2008, but I still need it to last for at least another year.
It's been great to me so far. Mac's not had a single problem. I'm just getting a little concerned about this heat issue.
I've attached a couple of screen shots of the activity monitor and the temperature monitor (so you could see all the processes running with the temperature at what it was at).
Thanks
