The scientific world uses Kelvin (same scale as celsius - just add 273 degrees to C and you have K). The rest of the world (outside of the US) uses celsius. This is the internet - a global network.
That's a really good argument you made there! Water boils at 100C so nothing can ever ever reach that high!! That would be CRAZY.

Anyway OP, the only component that is realistically going to suffer is the battery, if you were to play games for very long periods every single day. You haven't anything to worry about.
Wow, I go play D3 on my desktop for a couple of hours and come back to find out a few things,
1. I'm probably fine with the game as is, as the computer has fail-safes that would shut down if it actually got too hot
2. The temperature reading is probably just wrong, probably a problem with the sensor reading it
3. I don't need to spend any extra cash to put more ram in it, the fact that it's a bit hot to the touch is just annoying, probably won't do any real damage since I'm way below the melting point of the silicon based chip and internal components
4. My screenshot skills suck
5. the app that I had using Celsius ignited a firestorm of Off-Topic discussion, wonder how hot? And what temperature scale would we use to measure how hot?
In all seriousness, what the guy at Best Buy told me when I first started having this problem was that he was worried about the solder melting, is that a valid concern? Thanks a ton so far for all your help, even the guy who linked me how to take a screenshot, I'll actually use that, no sarcasm intended. The pics were taken with my iPhone 4 that I plan to own for no more than another 3 months till the next one comes out.

Countries that use ºF: USA
Countries that use ºC: The Whole World
Not to mention that Celsius is a more logic scale.
What's going on here [are you guys communists]?

This is getting pretty off-topic. Are you still afraid of commies? if I were you, I'd be more afraid of bankers and 'the mighty market' stealing your money
Joking aside, the US should embrace the metric system or at least not act so surprised when people use it online, because, after all, is the most used and widespread system on the Planet.
Thank you
