[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1248123, member: 193366"] In all fairness - it's not being "brought to its knees" - unless you're seeing poor performance while chatting. It's just using its powerful processors to do exactly what you've asked it to do - and a byproduct of that is heat. The fact is most computers generate quite a bit of heat and the more transistors you pack into a smaller product and the faster you ask them to transition - the more heat you get. I have a solid XP machine at work - that the fan really cranks on if it's running any video. For some reason (and I can include myself in this) we seem to obsess about monitoring our chip temps on these new Macs. Unless you're seeing the computer shut down or computer performance start to suffer - you're probably agonizing over a non-issue. Let the fans spin up - that's what they're supposed to do. It'll keep the temps at a healthy grade of warm until you move to a less processor intensive activity. [/QUOTE]
