Macbook Pro Heating

[SamTheeGeek]

Hey All ,

I know you guys got this thread a million times , but bare with me i only got 1 question.


I was converting HD Divx video yesterday and i noticed my macbook pro ( check sig. for specs ) getting really hot from below and the top center of the keyboard.

Now i got my macbook pro on my desk as always so im not complaining its too hot on my lap , i just wanna know is there any chance that heat would damage my macbook pro hardware ?

Thank you

The fact that you were converting video is why the computer got hot. This is perfectly normal, especially where you mentioned (processor location).

Unless temperatures get above 220ºF, your computer's hardware should be fine. However, if you still are nervous about it, download and install smcFanControl, which allows you to control fan speeds.

Do the fans blast hardcore when you've been doing that for a while?

Ok. I don't think you need to worry about giving it breaks or anything. Because if it was really hot the fans would sound like jet engines. And its pretty much impossible for the parts to be heat damaged, because if your MacBook Pro gets to a certain heat, it will automaticlly shut itself down to prevent damage
