[QUOTE="ronokenneally, post: 355910, member: 25966"] well i leave mine on most of the time when i'm asleep. i don't think ur at a risk as long as its on a desk don't leave it on ur bed or something cos i'm sure u have felt the heat of it there is an app u can get to control ur fan if u want to cool it down quickly its called smcFanControl it allows u to turn up the fan i might use if for a min or 2 if its hot and the set it to default after. back to the cable mine kind of warped first and it melted but not all at once i continued to use it keeping a closer eye on it cos the company i was getting a repacement from took there time in getting one. when it melts back there is one layer inside that doesn't melt and inbetween that layer and the outter layer there is what i think is a copper coil and it won't work when that has melted but i got the wire that is used in speakers and wrapped it around it to keep it going. almost forgot to take it off when i was handing it in to get it covered under guarantie. i wouldn't worry about it u'll smell it if it burns [/QUOTE]
