[QUOTE="halo200, post: 620553, member: 37684"] If I do anything processor intensive that maxes out both the cores, the temperature of the cpu sky rockets and the fans are so so so slow to respond that its already at around 70*C before the fans are at 3000rpm, so tried installing fancontrol and that helped adjusting the fan speeds accordingly not just when its too late. Also when it gets that hot because of the usage everything is so slow and jumpy like the dock is no longer smooth but jumpy and unresponsive, the same with expose and the bouncing icons just look like they're going at 1fps. The same sort of thing happens when im playing halo and monitoring the fps, it runs perfect till it heats up and then drops to 1 fps till it cools down a bit then back to 30fps over and over, but im not really concerned about the games, just when im converting some videos or anything that uses a lot of cpu causes it to happen and slows everything down and makes everything so horribly slow. Does anyone else have this issue? [/QUOTE]
