I got my new MacBook Air 2011 13" two weeks ago and I've been pretty comfortable with it.

So I decided to install CoD4 for Mac. However, the fan spins like CRAZY. iStat reads ~6500rpm and ~90C CPU temperature.

Is this going to overheat and kill the laptop?? :|

The CPU will automatically shutdown if it reaches a critical temperature.

I believe 90C is an acceptable temperature for i7s so you should be good to go. :]
