When you start calling people stupid and so forth you're no longer looking for advice, you're trolling.

Never called anyone stupid. Just said its failed engineering on heatsink part and thats that.
 
now that you say there is no apple store in your country i would pass i would never buy a laptop where id be on my own with no warranty as thats half of the apple appeal is customer service.

a desktop who cares its easy to rebuild but a laptop i would not bother stay with a company you can get a warranty with i would try a lenovo thinkpad :D i love them almost lured me away from my macbook lol

May I ask you a question?
Why do you people come onto a forum like this and expect us to persuade you to buy a MBP as if we really care? Try to help yes, but when start with an attitude that the MBP is bad it's like why should we even bother.

My thoughts exactly. If someone is actually interested in purchasing a Mac I have no issues with explaining the real world implications of the hyped up problems they've read about but this is totally different. He wants a MBP but says they're failed engineering and he's 1000 miles away from actually buying one? Fine, if they're too hot for you so don't buy one. I don't know what this guy's looking for us to say on the matter.

Are there any additional softwares that I could use to keep temperatures down? (like disabling tubo boost, fan speed control, GPU frequency downcloaker, power reduction, manual switch to integrated graphics computing....?) What are the temperatures for 2010 model with nvidia card and dual core? Are they significantly lower?

Like for instance, rendering a video is CPU intense task, would that get it to 90 degrees?

My PC CPU is never above 40, gpu is about 70 max when gaming, average 55, and my laptop is 40-60 too, so going for 90 is kinda hard. Specially if you think about the fan noise it must be making, lag in applications and most importantly...burned skin on laps. I don't want to get skin burns just for watching a movie...

The older 2010 will also easily reach the 90's if you push them.

Fan noise? Turn up the music, if they ramp up, they're doing their job and I wouldn't be complaining.

Lag in application? There will be none, heat won't change much to your performance apart from disabling turbo boost temporarily.

Burned skin??? What the hell are you doing using your computer naked? I've had mine run a constant 85C on my lap on jeans and never even got close to being burned.

Why is this discussion still going on? If heat is an issue, don't buy a Macbook Pro. Don't buy a laptop, for that matter.

I've owned plenty of laptops that don't hit 90C+ sitting on your lap. And before anyone starts with, "Don't load all the cores!", my MBP hit this while installing OS X updates.

To the op, yes, some MBPs run hotter than others. The only solution is to return it and hope for a better exchange. The fans don't do jack squat until the CPU is hotter than 75C.
 
Sorry, but if you KNOW for an issue and you KNOW that an issue is going to bother you to death and you BUY the product nevertheless...you are pretty fu*cking stupid. But I didn't call anyone stupid, I just said that doing above would be stupid.
