[QUOTE="SoulRed12, post: 1537200, member: 146412"] So, I did some more testing. Based on what you said pigoo3, it looks like there might be something wrong. I had my MBP export a video project I've been working on from Camtasia 2. The CPU started at about 47°C. During the export, it went all the way up to 95°C before the fans even started speeding up past 2000rpm. Then it just went to about 2800rpm, as before. The CPU got up to 100°C, and started hovering around 101°-102°C, and the fans were only at 3000rpm, if that. When it went to 103°C I got nervous and had smcFanControl manually crank my fans up to 5000rpm, and that was literally the only way to get it to go back down to around 95°C while it continued exporting. Even 4000rpm had it hovering around 99°-100°C. That doesn't really sound normal to me...especially when yours, pigoo3, were at 5000+rpm at only 85°C. And besides, what if I had been doing just one other thing while this was happening? The computer would probably have shut itself down. I bought this MBP with top of the line hardware and I upgraded it to 8GB of RAM so it could handle me doing more things, including a few things at once...I never thought I'd be limited by CPU temperature. It's a bit frustrating. [/QUOTE]
