[QUOTE="wytey, post: 505307, member: 38623"] well, I've taken for granted so far that I've upgraded the MBP's RAM with OCZ lifetime warranty stuff, but no harm in testing it out to make sure that it is not semi duff :) I'll post back later on what temps it hit. similar results to you... hit max of 126 C, 1 core was hovering around 40% the other around 80%, temp was up and down like a yoyo, but the most disturbing thing was that the fans never got anywhere near max rpm, just under 3500rpm at 126 C :| been sat at 124-126 C for a while now doing Block Sequential, the actual temp of the case by touch seems the same as maxing both cores out converting video etc which for me is around 83 C, couple that with the fans not going mental, I suspect that it is a glitch, but I think Apple should be made aware, just to make sure. I'd test it with bootcamp, but have not got round to reinstalling WXP on it yet. no burning smells or anything :p but I think I'll stop the test now, until it is clarified what is actually going on.
