Heat Question

[Maclver]

Got a quick question. Have a 16" MacBook Pro and had a question about the temperature of the device. I know Macs aren't known for their gaming but I play a few games on here (Nothing to crazy, Runescape and Cities: Skylines) and I notice that the temps get up there around 170 F - 190 F. Should the be something I should be concerned about?

Thanks

Sounds normal. But why don't you download and install the very handy app "iStat Menus". That will give you temp readings, fan RPM and much more. A must have app for anyone running the new 16" MacBook Pro.

If you get iStat Menus (highly recomended) you can check power draw from the GPU and CPU. With the temperatures you have you are probably loading both the discrete GPU and the CPU. Full load can be a 100W so even a partial load is enough to make the system hot.
