How hot has your Mac got?

Mine has gotten to 105C playing Rigs of Rods (13" Core2Duo MacBook Pro) How hot has your Mac got?

All I know is that it gets hot as **** whenever I watch several HD YouTube videos

202ºF playing minecraft on a pillow.

213F for a few seconds when encoding with Handbrake.

102° C while playing Chess. Or rendering it.

My 2007 MacBook Pro easily reaches 500 F when using Windows 7 via bootcamp. At least, that what my legs and wrists tell me.

Almost 90*C when playing minecraft, needless to say I stopped playing it on this...

 

[wordoflife]

85-87c

At its worst running iTunes and Flash video, my Macbook Air 11"inch barely ever gets warmer than lukewarm.

My old mid-2009 MB Pro, used to get quite hot, but never as hot as the crappy HP/Dell PCs I used use before I turned to the Mac-side.

Around 110 C when I tape the vents closed.

Hot enough to turn itself off. That's why I don't use p7zip's bzip2 compressor on this Mac (2006 MBP) anymore, only on my 2009 Unibody.

 

[Bloodstar]

55C with some Flash going... albeit on my G4.

Kinda surprised at some of the other temperatures in here, honestly...

^The dual cores and higher strain put on the computers is going to warrant the higher temperatures.

Mine has gotten to 91 C once... about two weeks ago I was playing a game and had some other things going on in the background and smelled something burning; something on the inside of the Mac had I guess been burnt.

I ended up turning it off and going to bed... it was a little too late anyway 😉
