See title. I have yet to see anyone post how hot their 2012 Macbook Pro NON-Retinas get and how noisy they get.

Just and update and a question/idea

Regarding my set up:
2012 15" MacBookPro 9,1 - 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 - Memory: 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Corsair - Vengeance - 750GB Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid hard drive - Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB - High-Resolution 1680x1050 Anti-Glare Display

My experience in the 2 weeks that I have had the 2012 MBP has been excellent. I have been doing all kinds of things to try and max it out and crash it and I have not been able to crash it or get beach balls. My overall temps when I am running the hell out of it are still consistently 20 degrees cooler than my 2011 MBP. The Corsair Vengeance RAM is operating perfectly and presenting no issues, so get it and save some money, but if you "have" to spend more and be part of the cool kid club, then get the OWC version of the RAM.

Here's one.

The only time mine gets a fan moving audibly is compressing video, rendering FCP or Adobe AE outputs. Other than that it's the coolest laptop I have owned.

Look a little harder. All the various threads about the new cMBP have myself and others talking about how we think it is both quieter and cooler running.

On my 13" 2012 MBP, i7 - 8GB RAM - 750 HDD, I never heard the fans kick in. Temps never went above 50 degrees Celsius either...

Fans really only kick into overdrive once the GPU hits 90C, and then it instantly cools to a steady 78-82C for hours of gameplay.

MBP. Not cMBP.
