[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1408702, member: 245480"] 200 degrees is getting pretty hot but 90 degrees at idle is relatively normal. How are the vents on your computer? Are they clogged full of dust? Are you using your computer in a well ventilated area (without blocking the computer vents)? Is the fan turning on? If your computer truly overheats to dangerous levels, it will shut itself off so you haven't breached that threshold yet thankfully. Still, running at 200 degrees a lot will decrease the life of your computer. Here are the numbers on my iMac for comparison: Idle: 89 degrees Browsing Internet: 105 degrees Heavy processing (bouncing audio in Logic Pro): 134.6 degrees [/QUOTE]
