[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1782965, member: 56379"] For what it's worth...I have a 17" 2011 MacBook Pro that I pretty much use all day long. Part of that daily use is online gaming...that I pop in every now & then for a bit of fun. My MacBook Pro is running at 75°C from about 7:30am till sometimes 1am (almost 16-18 hours a day)...with it's fans sometimes roaring away (and I have the burn marks on my legs to prove it...especially in the Summer)! LOL Whether a 2017 15" MacBook Pro should normally run at 70°C is probably a different matter. Sounds to me that it gets hotter for periods of time...and then gets cooler for periods of time. If you're not doing anything "serious"...then I'm betting that it's running cooler during those periods...and when you're doing other more strenuous stuff...it runs hotter. This also assumes that you understand what computing tasks are easy...and which are strenuous. For example: - Interacting on Mac-Forums should be EASY for the computer. Assuming that nothing else is being done (no other apps open or other browser tabs open). - Having many apps open...having many browser tabs open (some of them maybe on websites with complex activity)...and/or watching videos...are strenuous activities. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
