[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1638976, member: 56379"] This is why we are saying…don't be concerned about it!:) When you use handbrake…it max's out the computers resources…thus hitting the highest temps you are going to see. In fact…unless you always run this computer in an air-conditioned room (same temp as the room it's in now)…those computer temps will probably get even higher with Summertime temps. Again if it gets too hot…it will shut down automatically. And by the way…if you think that getting an i7 CPU would have made the computer run cooler…no it wouldn't have. If the i7 CPU option was more powerful…handbrake would have just taken advantage of the extra performance (generating more heat) and resulting in even higher temps. Again…don't worry about it. And the safety net…you have/had 12 months of Applecare when you purchased the computer. Still concerned??…purchase Extended Applecare/Applecare+ (and get a total of 3 years of coverage).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
