[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1530761, member: 56379"] 70-80°C is pretty normal while gaming (some games are more demanding than others). The MacBook Air (as with all Apple laptop/notebook computers)...is designed to properly cool itself. Just because the bottom is "sealed" and you cannot see a fan...does not mean that it hasn't been designed to keep itself cool. The cooling air flow pattern just isn't what you expect it to be. Believe me...the design engineers at Apple know what they're doing!:) As far as the cooling pad. Well...maybe if you use one...MAYBE it will cool things a little bit...but I'm betting it won't be anything major. The computer is fine as it is.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
