[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1527076, member: 24160"] You can expect that area of your MBP to heat up whilst doing any sort of work that will begin stressing either the CPU or the video card - totally normal. If you're machine is actually "overheating" the MBP is going to shut itself off. Not shutting itself off - it is within tolerances and is not "overheating". It has nothing to do with and is [B]not[/B] because you're leaving it plugged in while playing and highly unlikely the battery needs to be replaced in a 1 yr old MBP. You can download Coconut Battery to take a look at your battery health and post a screenshot of it's results if you would like. On what surface is the MBP sitting? Hard surface like a table? Or your lap, bed, carpet or other surface where you could be blocking the air flow along the back side of it? A clicking sound is troublesome - Fan or hard drive? You could download something like iStatPro to check your fan speeds. (some of this may be a repeat of above - takes me a while to post at work) (have seen my 6+ yr old MBP sit at over 90-95C for hours at a time while playing WoW) [/QUOTE]
