get a cooling mat, nuff said. A decent one for like $40 will probably bring the temp down at least 10 degrees

@KeKeKeilan Its the fact that the GPU & CPU are now in the 1 chip - causes the heat to go up and fans to kick in crazy style!!!

same problem with me..they fixed it they said that there was a faulty fan. I was lucky cuz I got the last one they had in stock at that location. fixed it within 10 minutes. NO LOUD NOISE ANYMORE! :) love u apple

@killer333134 what did you tell the Genius bar to do?

I have a macbook pro 15 inch 2.2ghz 2007 version, and my mac gets insanely hot while gaming, so i got smc fancontrol its free, and i can control my fan speeds to prevent damage to my hardware.

[realskatsa]

@AttackTheMic But by lowering fan speed - wont your MBP overheat?

[TehCheat3]

13" MBP does not have a dedicated GPU, thus causing the temperature to rise dramatically. On top of this, The Macbook is a fairly cramped computer and has HORRIBLE airflow. To keep it from reaching a critical temperature (105-110º C) The fans will pick up to about 5000+ RPM. It is all perfectly fine, but annoying. I would suggest getting a cooling pad and wearing headphones, That's what I do and i hardly notice the fans whenever I use mine.

my mac used to get up to 199 but now it goes up to just 150 but even i just hate the loud fans that go off!!! i have a late 2011 model. Latest i think 13 inch i5 8gb of ram macbook pro

@realskatsa u wouldn't lower it to play a game, i've got mine set to run @ 4000k rpm when gaming and then down to 2800-3k when not

@0xNEVVG3N thats not true! i evan work with photoshop on it it does not get hot. i watch a lot of movies and it does not get hot. It only gets hot when you lay a game. and now after a while of having a MBA i find it very good for gaming it a decent "hot" it doesn't bother me.

MBA is a good unit , i am very pleased with it (-: battery last 7h and 10 h when i turn wifi off so i can read and write at school.

It's actually okay if you don't run too many programs, but if something is even slighty heavy it will start again...(Google Earth )

@thomasboss01

It's bad engineering from Apple. I have two laptop PCs (1ASUS & 1Gateway) and none of them get hot even when playing high demanding games such as GTA4. I was going to buy the 2011 MBA but after seeing the issues with the fan and extreme heat while watching YT videos I think I'll stick with PCs for now, maybe Apple with get their shit together and start designing laptops with better air flow/cooling systems because this is unacceptable especially considering how overpriced they are

[0xNEVVG3N]

@man0204

I hear the MBA gets hot while doing normal tasks such as watching Youtube-Flash videos, video editing, etc...

Is that true?

[stike96]

Mine does the same but i just keep the graphics on medium, use a cooling mat, and after ever few games let let it just rest a bit (at the quick match screen, it only heats up in game for me). BTW mine is the entry level macbook pro too with no dedicated GPU.

[man0204]

yes it does get hot. but just buy a cooler mat. remember mac book air was not made for gaming. its for school/work

[MrAndreVEVO]

A MAC IS NOT FOR GAMING

@OakridgeProductions9 No laptop period is really designed for gaming.
