My MB with Youtube

[gpgp16]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking into the youtube video right now. No other applications other than safari is open. When I'm playing the videos, the cpu temperature goes to 70-75 degrees. The fan rotates at 6000 rpm. I checked these readings using iStat. When I pause the video, the temperature drops down to 55 degrees with fan at 1800 rpm. When I play the video again the fan speed and temperature shoots up.
Anyone faced this?

70-75 degrees is not even close to being bad. People get too scared while just watching their temperatures. Relax it is normal. Sh*t I am ripping DVD's and my Macbook goes into the 90's sometimes.

You're good. Mine won't spin up the fans until it hits 90C.

this subject's been beaten to death a while ago, it's because youtube use flash encoded videos.
