Macbook excessively cool during intense tasks

[markus843]

My macbook is excessively cool during intense tasks, for example:

When I played skyrim for 1 hour, if I touch the bottom of my mac, it feels like it just turned on. I do smell something burned in my mac. Any suggestions help.

How are you measuring temperature?

Are you running Skyrim in OSX? I didn't know there was a Mac version.

I used bootcamp to get it, and also there actually is a OSX version I'm pretty sure

So you took the temp reading after you booted back into Mac OSX?

By the time you've rebooted to OSX, your computer has probably cooled off. Try using a utility like Speedfan to monitor temps in windows. I believe it even allows you to chart the readings over time.

T5BRICK beat me to it.

Instead of deleting your question, you could leave it so someone with a similar issue can find it in a search instead of asking again.
