[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1186775, member: 24160"] translation to 65C - not that hot for any electronic components - I have run mine for hours at a time while gaming with the temps in excess of 90C - translation 195 degrees - and now over 4 years old - the longest I have owned any single computer since my first computer in 1981 - only seems ridiculous to you because you are not aware of how hot the individual components in a computer will get. An automobile engine will run between 200-250 degrees. The thermostat may not even open to circulate the coolant until they reach 185-195 degrees. The fans may not even start until they hit 210 degrees. You could worry about that instead of your computer since they cost a lot more than a computer. For anyone else not familiar with temps, I would suggest you remove smcfancontrol and any other temp monitoring software on your machine and go back to the peaceful bliss you had with your Windows machines related to this matter. The only thing to be aware of related to your Mac for the average individual is to realize that the slot at the hinge is where your Mac notebook breathes. You should maintain a clear area around this slot to allow the machine to cool itself properly and as it was designed to do. That is: don't set it on the carpet, the bed, etc. which would block the air flow. (edit: and btw, this is not a problem, just a lack of knowledge - which is ok - we don't mind answering those either - am pretty sure I asked a lot of questions with my first Mac that are all second nature now and just reading the forums, there is still a whole ton of stuff I don't have a clue about.)
