[QUOTE="Dnovelta, post: 1085756, member: 165232"] So, I've got a late '09 MBP. Specs are: 2.8 GHz C2D 4GB DDR3 RAM 320GB 7200rpm HDD running 10.6.4 I've been playing CS:S and an online game called RuneScape and have had my Mac shut down on me frequently. The online game isn't an incredibly intense game, but is run via browser. In both cases, my Mac reaches the very high 90s - in Celsius. At the moment, the only applications I have open are Chrome, an IRC client, and Quicksilver. With these three applications running, I'm sitting on 64 degrees Celsius, with my fans both running at 5482 rpm. Chrome has only one tab open. When playing either game, my system reaches, and exceeds 100 degrees Celsius and forces it to go to sleep. The actual machine is incredibly hot to touch - I've got my MBP hooked up to a 26" HDTV with an external keyboard so I'm not actually touching my MBP until it goes to sleep. I'm also using a cooling pad, and still have these temperatures. I'm considering downgrading to 10.6.3 - is there any way to do this without having the Snow Leopard install disk? [/QUOTE]
