Are any of you guys experiencing any over heating with Mac Book Pros from this year? Especially with the retina display?🙂

I've never had a warm macbook, I've been using it for lots of heavy tasks, the mac stayed cool and the fans don't kick in.

It really does depend on what you're doing on the MacBook - Read this article or the one in my sig for more info about MacBooks & overheating 🙂
 
When i do gaming for over an hour under Windows 8 not the CPU, but the GPU becomes too hot.
Yesterday i've reached 122 C° playing at simraceway, that is definitely too hot, but i also know that GPU-Z can be wrong, at that temperature the Mac would shut down itself


i have to say that in all other situations, temperatures go pretty well, with CPU around 36 degrees and GPU around 53-55 when idle. when in heavy use but not gaming, temps never go over 80 degrees
