[QUOTE="d_rock, post: 390720, member: 23511"] MacBook Pro 15", 2.33ghz, latest updates, 3 months old So when I first got the MBP I had some concerns about the heat like most people. I installed Fan Control, set the base speed to 2000 rpm, lower temp to 48 and the upper temp to 70...heat issue was basically solved, with the thing usually sitting between 35 and 49 degrees C. SuperDrive was behaving horribly so I got it replaced at the Apple Store and then reinstalled Mac OS X just to be safe. With the new install, and all updates, and Fan Control, the heat issue has sort of come back. The thing CONSTANTLY runs at 50 degrees C minimum, usually around 55, with just a browser window open. Could it have something to do with the background programs or startup items? When I'm playing games or using Parallels it shoots up to 70-75 degrees C. [/QUOTE]
