[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1201502, member: 46727"] Are your fans working OK? Installing Snow Leopard should not have any impact on how hot the machine gets even while gaming. There really isn't an app to monitor heat and fans speeds when running Windows. Mother board monitoring programs available for Windows do not work.

Instructions for getting inside the machine are available at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. To monitor fans speeds and temps while running Snow Leopard, download the free [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol"]smcFanControl[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
