(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2010 Model
Intel i7 620M 2.66GHz , 500GB HD, 4GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M.

I bought it like 3 weeks before the new MBP range was released FU
And I have been doing heavy work on it such as gaming, video editing etc.
I'm becoming really stressed with it because it just gets way to hot
I ran CineBench and some other programs and I recorded the following temperatures;
CPU: Core1: 100C
Core2: 105C
Fans: Left Side: 6009 RPM
Right Side: 5999 RPM
Graphics Card: 75C

The CPU was skying 100C standard kay:
Am I right to say you can get a burn from that? :/
And if I give my self a burn from my overheating laptop, I can take legal action?
Yeah I took it to the apple shop and they ran some hardware tests and all the hardware appeared to be working fine, they said I should expect it to get hot.
If the laptop exceeds 100C and I put it on my lap, which I can't because it's too hot, that destroys the purpose of a laptop I don't know if they've changed their stuff to netbooks to avoid this charge but I heard some companies did.

I've done my research and found that many others with the same model as me have the same problem and that apple tell them the same thing -____-
But I also read that they like to keep their customers satisfied, and I haven't heard about any heating problems with the 2011 models

Please if anyone has any advice?
Or if anyone too has the same problem as me, or have a 2011 model and can inform me if there is any heat problems.

Thanks!

I will give 50k vBux to whoever provides me with sufficient information/help/advice :beer:

I would definately look into trying to sue them :D
It's mostly because you don't take care of your MacBook. Try cleaning the fan or blowing air duster into it so you get all the dust out.

If that fails, then just get a laptop fan that you can buy from walmart for $15. You just plug it in via usb to your laptop and then put the fan underneath your laptop and done.

Cheers for the advice, Me and my dad are actually thinking of suing them
And I'm not really sure bout that because I care about my Macbook alot and also I don't think I can get to my fan :S

I could shove my cotton bud in there, thats bout it

you don't want to do that because if it some how gets stuck and the cotton gets stuck in there, that'll make it worse.

that's why I said to use air duster. It's just a little bottle you can buy at any store that sprays air really fast. It is usually powerful enough to clean out your fan. You can even use it to clean your keyboard - which is it's main purpose, I think.

You might want to get something like this: You must login or register to view this content.

or a fan similar to that so it cools it down while it's on your lap.

My cousin just brought me a fan, it works fairly well, Thanks for the idea, still don't think I should have to buy one for it and I can now remember that the person at the apple store told me to get a 3rd party fan I'll get get some spray tommorow or something too, see if it helps
Yeah I think I'll sue them with my powers :happycry:

My response would of been. "I paid all this money for a laptop and you won't even supply me with a working fan? This is some bullshit I would like to file a formal complaint with you for telling me this and I would like to speak to your supervisor."

Once the boss comes, I would say, "This is rediculous, I spend all this money on your product so it can burn me? I am scared to even use this thing I hate being burned! I did nothing wrong to make this laptop over heat on me and there's no reason I should be buying more products from a different company in order to make your peice of shit laptop work."

I 100% think they will give you a free fan or offer a replacement laptop.

That sounds perfect I'd probably add that my baby brother could burn severely because babys have softer skin :3
Thanks, I'll get back to you if my dad agrees ^_^
