[QUOTE="TheTrueMoron, post: 709953, member: 56164"] Mine overheated once, which I talked about in [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115798"]this thread[/URL]. My friend's 15" MBP overheated a little over a week ago and she doesn't play video games or do video converting (which I do). Supposedly the larger heatsinks in the 17" models allows their GPUs to run a little cooler than the 15" models. So far, I've only had one occurrence of it happening and my MBP still runs fine so it didn't get hot enough to fry it completely.
