Light Gaming Help!

Its completely fine.
Macs do get hot but if its over heating, mac will automatically shut itself down.

 

If you reallllyyyyy want one, there's cooling stations for all kinds of laptop that'll externally help cool your machine.

 

i have the rmbp and it gets hot! i did go into power options --> adv power options, to throttling the cpu down a little from 100% to 60%. then i downloaded a fan controller to make the fans spin faster i went from 80-90C down to 50-65c. thats playing crysis 3, tera online, grid 2, the new tomb raider. thats with bootcamp running windows only i have yet to try parallels program see if heat well stay down if mac os stays in charge some what

 

You can run a VM on your BootCamp partition in Parallels but you won't be happy with the framerate hit. It's fine for MS office, web browsing, email and other light tasks but you'll likely end up booting into Windows directly when it's time to fire up Tomb Raider. At least from my experience.

 

yeah i found the same thing and one game says it wont play under a virtual machine. i do get better performance with straight windows.

 

If it was really hard for you to save the money you should've waited for refresh.
If you bought refurb I take that back.

 

Lol will run more than fine.

 

On hd4000 put 1440*900 resolution everything medium and it will run fine

 

It might even be able to run at native res.

 

I can play Battlefield 3 and 4 with my rMP 13"

 

So long as you're getting airflow you're fine. It's made to get toasty... it's just shedding heat.
