So I got this air from my dads work, pretty sure it was over heating pretty bad always around 90c when on youtube or anything demanding on the 1.86Ghz Core 2 Duo, when resting the temps read 60c. I decided to put on some arctic silver 5 on both the 9400m / Nvidia Chipset and the Core 2 Duo. Now she runs at 60c mid load and all the way down to 30-40c on 0% load and maxed is 80c still alot better then before. Just wondering what other 1st gen Air owners see their airs running at.
