[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1188805, member: 24160"] Raz0rEdge makes a valid point. If while the machine is under load you are experiencing problems, that is the time to investigate. However, the temp would not be the thing to investigate. The investigation/troubleshooting would relate to the problem you are experiencing. An overheated CPU will typically result in the machine turning itself off. An overheated GPU could result in a pixelated, banded or frozen desktop. Either of which indicates an underlying hardware problem and a trip to the Apple store would be in order. [/QUOTE]
