[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1860155, member: 396914"] RAM has very little to do with heat generation. CPU/GPU usage is the greatest factor. Open Activity Monitor, look under the CPU tab to see what is driving your CPU to high levels. Having 15-20 tabs open will certainly drive both CPU and GPU as they continually have to update those tabs, so I'm not surprised at that result. If you really want to know where the heat is coming from get something like iStat Menu and look at all of the heat sources. [/QUOTE]
