a healthy temperature for my MBP to run at?

[feelthejoy]

I play video games from time to time on my MBP unibody model and I was just wondering what a healthy temperature my computer should be at? When i play World of Warcraft I run around 72-75 degrees celsius.

While playing a game 72-75 is incredibly cold for a MBP, mine runs at upwards of 90C when playing COD4 and thats considered normal. As long as it doesnt go over 110C your fine.

I hit upwards of 78 degrees celsius playing Civilization 4 in Bootcamp. Not comfortable with it...but whatever....

Wish I could control fan speeds in Windows...

45 degrees

72-75 is perfectly normal for a MBP under gaming loads... I wouldnt worry. if you start flirting with 100C then worry (or if you're at 75 with no apps running!)

fan control

There is a freeware program called Fan Control that allows you to adjust fan speed and thresholds. It is an outstanding solution.

I was wondweing - will gaming affect the battery really badly? Like, each time I play games on my MBP I feel bad for it because the GPU always gets so noisy and the laptop hot during the play...

I live in Canada and i get -40 ºC here. My computer get so cold that when i try to lick my unibody macbook Pro, my tongue get stuck and it collect ice on the back of my machine. But overall... it runs very fast.

Cold makes your computer faster... No wonder why people buy coolers for laptop these days.
