[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1775594"] Both Windows Emulation and video processing are CPU and GPU intensive. So when you run them you are really stressing the machine more than normal, which makes it run warm. The fans come on to protect it. I would advise you to avoid using any fan controller to hold down the fan speed or you can easily cook either the CPU or GPU. The GPU in that system is already a bit dicey, so it is definitely not wise to stress it any more than you absolutely must. [/QUOTE]
