Hi, does anyone know what might be wrong with a laptop overheating after short running time? When it gets hot, the fan begins to sound loud. Can it be fixed?
What prevents my MBP 13.3" 2011 from overheating? It does get VERY hot, but there's no fan and so far it's never shut down.
Download the free iStat Pro widget from here. That will show the fan speed and temperatures of your MBP.
Aside from the heat rising up thru the keyboard it also escapes from the vent which is located beneath the top lid and the hinge of your MBP. You can probably feel the heat from that area if you put your hand there.
