[QUOTE="gigem2015, post: 1246513, member: 203508"] I recently got a new MacBook Pro about a month ago, and I've been enjoying it a lot :) I've been using it to stream movies over Netflix Instant Watch, and I have a concern. While I am doing this, I can hear that the fan speed has increased dramatically, I later found that it had been in excess of 6000 rpm and CPU usage had been way above normal (smcFanControl). The had been an increase in temperature as well (iStat). [B]Is this normal? If not, what should I do?[/B] I don't have this problem with other video streaming websites, such as YouTube. I know it can't be good for my beloved MBP, can anyone help? Any advice would be much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
