Mac Book Pro Heat

[MCP22]

I am aware that the MCPs of my generation have heat issues, but I play WoW and it gets really hot.

I have downloaded a program that tells me how hot my computer is, and I was wondering at what heat should I close my computer and let it cool off.


Thanks

SMC Fan Control and the iStat widget both show current temps. Use SMC to crank the fans up if you think its getting too hot.

The computer will automatically shut off before it becomes dangerously hot. Try a "chill pad" to help reduce the temps.

I am getting a cooling pad soon, I am just wondering what temperture is the point where I should turn off my computer and let it cool down.

80s seem to be a normal temp for mbps under load (I've heard some people talk about temps over 100). I think the shut down temp is around 125C.
I've gamed on mine for hours at temps around 75~80 just fine.

Do chill pads really work? Why not just place it on a cool surface?

try downloading the 10.5.4 update. several users, including me have noticed the laptop runs cooler now.

My MBP runs quite cool actually and it's fans are very quiet. I don't tax it for power that much but it has only ever felt no more than "a bit toasty" when i had been copying over 135GB of files onto the hard drive
