[QUOTE="jogi, post: 539353, member: 42726"] Hi all, Im an owner of a macbook pro, 15", C2D 2.16 ghz, 120gb hd for the past year. Recently, I've noticed that during encoding with handbrake - ipod profile - H264, the temperature of the cores is reaching up to 99C - 100C as monitored in iStat.

Ambient temperature is close to 18C, as I live in London which is quite cold this time of year. The laptop itself feels quite hot underneath, being just bearable to touch. Also, Handbrake quits unexpectedly, usually after a couple of chapters into the encoding. Should I be worried?
