@lokgotz,
It's not advisable to put ur notebook (whether it's a Mac or PC) on a pillow or cushion cause it blocks the air flow - u should know about it... no? *g*  But anyhow, admittedly, I do rest my MBP on a pillow when I use it on the bed but it's more often than not left lying on the desk  biggrin.gif

@rhesusv,
He's just finding creative ways to either claim a brand new one, or buy a brand new one  smile.gif

yeah....i know that...but the bed is too tempting!!!!
and i dont see any air vents at the bottom of the MB...and temperature is running fine...

anyway guys, DO NOT DO WHAT I DO....I'M INSANE!!!hehehehe....

*gets off bed and start typing on table*

@lokgotz,
Are u running any fan cooler program? I think it's pretty good the fact that the temperature of your MB is normal even when u use it in bed... Go ahead and do what u always do - just be comfortable and i always believe... just don't do the extreme and u'll be fine smile.gif

Ok.. we're going way off TOPIC here!! *grins* Anyways, if my MBP ever ran up to 80 degrees celcius I probably will freak!!!!! It might have, I just don't have my eyes looking at the temperature 24/7 !!! kEKekekkeke

And, having said that... it's running at 44.8 right now smile.gif

@lokgotz,
Ok.. I have some fan control too but I don't know what - kEKekke Just got the shop to install it and so as long as it works I don't care what it is.. And, uh... don't need to even bother asking me when it's switched on and off - i assume it's automatic !! hAHahAHhahAHhaHA... BUT please let me know if i'm wrong! LoL biggrin.gif

u r not wrong..the fan controller on ur mac runs automatically....if it gets too hot, the fan spins faster....

if u launch the app, u can control how fast u want the fan to spin.....something like that.....

@lokgotz,
I don't bother running the application since the shop set it for me so i leave it in its set 'default' mode. The very few times I run this application is to just check the current temperature - *grins*.... which reminds me... wanna check that against iStatpro's information for consistency biggrin.gif

Will update all if it's entirely out of scale sad.gif

My Macbook going heat only when I use both Adobe softwares. I think it depend on the softwares too, if the software use a lot of the resources, the fan will start spinning faster and louder... My macbook went up to 80 degree c before too...

when you guys talk about MACBOOK, you must identify whether it's the Core2Duo version or the Core Duo version.

AFAIK the heat levels produced by them are different.

lokgotz,

what do you mean smcfancontrol? what's that? ><

By the way, when you do photoshop, what's the highest temperature it shoot?

When you say photoshop, is it Adobe photoshop? or Apple Aperture? or iPhoto?

Sorry, i'm kind of interested, dont mind answering my questions? blush.gif (paiseh)

download the smcFanControl here. It's a small app that enables you to control how fast you want ur MB/MBP to spin, the faster it spins, the cooler your mac gets because it exhausts the hot air from your mac...your mac's fan will spin faster when it detects hot temperature....but with smcfancontrol, you could control how fast u want your fan to spin...heheh

Photoshop i meant was Adobe photoshop, illustrator and stuff and sometimes when i run processing intensive apps....i dont know bout u guys but whenever i am streaming from youtube(2-3 videos) my macbook runs hotter and the fan spins faster...

i hope i answered your questions...let me know if u dont understand...heheh rclxms.gif

Urm, dude. Once in school I was playing Halo Demo on Mac OS X. Temperature was 60C. When my Dad picked me up from school. I just closed the screen (sleep mode). When I opened it in the car (2 minutes later) Temperature was 98C. I can show you screen shot (SS). I used Core Duo Temp to monitor my temperature.
