[QUOTE="Gravey, post: 1184591, member: 182596"] Hey everyone, had a question regarding the safety of my mbp. I've had it for about 2 months and in that time I've been playing quite a lot of games; I have Starcraft 2 and The Orange Box from Steam. All in all the machine has handled them great with little/no chug on high settings. Typically running one of these games gets my cpu into the high 70's or low 80s (celsius) which wasn't a concern to me. Last Friday I purchase Counter Strike: Source and was disturbed to note that when running the game, my cpu skyrockets to an average temp of about 102. Should I be worried about cooking anything? I know there are failsafes to shut the machine down in the event of catastrophe but am I hurting my computer in the long run putting this much stress on it? I have a cooling pad as well but for some reason cs: source is extremely clocking the system even though it runs the same engine as my other Steam games. Thanks for reading -James [/QUOTE]
