Macbook Pro fan noise

[loranalary]

any game using the video card and being hard on it makes this one overheat and of course the fan just can't supply enough cooled air ... it doesn't do that when I just roam the net ... is there a solution?? someone??

[tazerfire]

my macbook pro aluminium doesnt make any noise

[tapeisrolling]

It's fan noise, poor construction/parts. If I press down on the Q or W keys, I can actually hear the fan blades hitting something and getting louder. It's not CPU related, other than when your CPU works harder your fans try to cool everything down so the fan problem (IE APPLE'S PROBLEM) becomes more apparent.

Awesome machines, minus the shitty fan epidemic.

I was just playing WoW right now, fan is still making noise...

[Bleedingaworld]

i couldn't agree more

[bjhorton2005]

Bud, don't listen to these idiots. I play WoW on a mac, and it is way better than many HIGH end PC's. I do mean high end. The sound you are hearing is due to extra heat from the graphics card. It just requires general cooling for the whole laptop. download a cpu/temp monitor widget thing. It will tell u what is heating up. -later

[bjhorton2005]

In response to this month old message, the other night I left the A/C temp up a bit higher than usual on the house, and during a WoW instance the iMac revved up for the first time ever! Must be loosing a little heat dissapation with dust or something. Cool though!

[goldenfreakus]

better? how? did that chainsaw sound come with ur macbook or with the game?!?!hahahaha my rig never makes a sound like that even on full load...btw i got a evga gtx 280 that never overheats like that piece!!!oh yea go look at sum of the HIGH end laptops these days and you will c that they r 10X faster than this shitty mac

[tiger2base]

Mine does this too. I gave a call to apple and they couldn't tell me anything. It used to only happen under CPU heavy conditions (like anthony said) but now it does it at startup. Thank god i have applecare.

[anthony445]

the reason why it kicked in fast was because the proccesor needed to be cooled more mainly because you were playing a game.

[sayfuckalot]

hey man its the cookie monter.... check out my vids you snatch cake

[Dean812]

I play on a MBP also and have my settings turned all the way up and dont get thata fan noise. Has it since been fixed?

[MacGeeek]

Way to go afk during a Baron Geddon Fight... lrn2play :P

[sandwash]

its gona explode!!!

[evilic0n]

it's running under OSX. But i have been running it on a bare mattress. When i run it on a table it's fine .. even with the video card overclocked.

[CHINAdeals]

that must be it then..no laptops should be run on a cloth/bed surface..always on a table ;)

quick to overheat when run on 'bad' surfaces.. what resoultion is it on btw? (highest quality settings?)

[CHINAdeals]

what revision do you have neways? yah.any answers to the ques? running in windows/osx?

[evilic0n]

i have revision D. I bought it in may.

[speier]

if you're running WOW on bootcamp, that'll explain why your running hot. if you're running under osx, you've probably just got shit set way too high for your video card? even then it shouldn't heat up so much.

also consider what surface you have your laptop on... if it's on carpet, or fabric it's going to run a lot hotter. if it's on glass it'll be a lot cooler. ditto for metal.

if you have a wood table, you can get one of those stands for your macbook that'll keep air underneath it.

Runnig wow on osx or windows?

[PrettyMuchBryce]

Thats lame but the game looks great

[chukiller]
