[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1033707, member: 97843"] You have to realize that most people are used to laptops with plastic coverings, which are somewhat deceptive because they can give a false sense of temperature based on touch(since plastic doesn't hold heat like aluminum). Even though the aluminum macs seem to heat up, it's not really any different from other laptop's heating source. It's just that the heat that starts from the processor and gpu get spread throughout the unibody enclosure instead of being trapped inside a plastic casing, and being forced out through vents. That's one of the reasons why the new unibody aluminums have very little vent openings(aluminum dissipates heat really well for it's price). Don't worry about it! Edit: Using SMC to control the fan is useless because the computer knows when it needs to kick the fans to warp speed! Have a little more faith in your mac! I only use SMC to I can visually see the rpms, I don't touch the settings anymore. Just keep it on default and let it do it's thing. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
