[QUOTE="FiosFiend, post: 1061528, member: 121836"] It depends on what I'm doing but normally if I'm just surfing and doing email etc. My MB Pro runs around 50C to 60C max. If I'm converting VOB files to MP4 then it can get up to 98C which converts to 200F. I highly recommend getting the SmcFanControl that others have suggested. I would also get the istat menus [url=http://bjango.com/apps/istatmenus/]iStat Menus, a Mac app by Bjango[/url] which adds a set of gauges and menus at the top of your MB. You can monitor temps on your CPU, GPU, Heatsink, etc. They're great to keep tabs on whats going on. [/QUOTE]
