[QUOTE="VegasGeorge, post: 940744, member: 21096"] Sounds about right to me. My MBP doesn't get that hot too often. I have smcFanControl so I monitor the temp every now and then. The fan and heat will crank up while running video, but it cools down fast. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's happening while you're just web surfing or running text based apps. In that case, I'd check into it a bit further. One thing I found is that the MBP stays cooler with the battery removed. So if you're running video at home using external power, you might like to take the battery out. It's quieter that way. [/QUOTE]
