Macbook Pro 2012 gets extremely hot when playing games on windows par.

So im just playing some games like BF4, Skyrim, etc and all of a sudden studder, the metal heats up, and whats missing? The fans! They dont even bother to turn on to keep things cool like on the OS X side.
Anyway to get the fans running like they do on the OS X par? I dont want to overheat my mac.
Thanks

I can't tell if your Mac is getting too hot without knowing the actual temperatures, but they do run hotter in Windows, hottest with games.
But reinstalling the support software should eliminate that from the puzzle.

Macbook pro retina gets extremely hot!

Hey guys,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina with all the settings on max (see below). I like to play games like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft howvere when I open these up my macbook starts going crazy! The fans all turn on and the CPU get extremely hot! I mean like 92°C hot! I opened up activity monitor and found out that when running World of Warcraft it used 140-160% of the CPU (which of course in impossible!!).
Thanks in advance for any advise!

Please comment with any further questions and I will try to get you any information!

A few things:
1. All macbook pros get hot (retina and non-retina). Folks here will tell you that the system will slow down (or in extreme cases shutdown) to protect the hardware. I find this concerning but it is what it is...
2. Games can use multiple cores which is why you are seeing > 100%
3. 92 celcius is hot but within the operating parameters from what I have seen
4. Some folks use stands (anything from purchased stands to pencils) to lift the computer off of the underlying surface to allow for improved circulation.
Hope this helps.

Macbook Pro is getting extremely hot and fan seems to be making a lot of noise when running windows 7

I recentely installed windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 15' late 2008 maybe 10-15 minutes into browsing the internet or watching a youtube video it gets really hot and the computer fans seem to be making a lot of noise. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

My macbook pro is getting really hot when I leave it running but put the screen down. When I open it only shows password box not rest of screensaver. I'm not doing anything differently

The past 2 days my MacBook pro has been running really hot, especially when I close it. When I open it the screensaver doesn't show completely. Yesterday when I moved the mouse it made spiral trails with the graphics, very strange. I'm really concerned! Help... I've restarted it, powered it off last night, etc.

You can always take your Mac in and give it a check-up for free. What will cost you is the repairs you select to have preformed. I recommend shutting your Mac down before you go to bed. Problem solved. There is no need for you to keep it running if all applications are quit. Why do you need it on?

When I am using my macbook pro it gets very hot quickly

my macbook pro will get really hot within minutes of using it. The the screen will just go black. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer. This has been happening for about 2 years and now is so bad I can barely use the computer. HELP

Learn about the fans in your Mac
Try to not run too many apps simultaneously especially when streaming Flash content.
Two years? If the problem persists, take your Mac in for service >Apple - Find Locations

never heard of perian. its a quicktime player? would this help?
Give Allan's advice a try. I'm curious to see how that works for you.
4GB RAM could be part of the issue. Open Activity Monitor, select System Memory and see what it says for Page ins, Page outs, and Swap used.
Perian isn't a necessity, but those three together usually cover all the different formats you might encounter.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

Macbook Pro Retina Magsafe extremely hot?

Hi, ive owned the macbook pro retina 15" for around 6 months now and its great, but ive notice from when i first had it that the magsafe adapter gets extremely hot, i mean if i touch it for more than 1 second it burns like mad. Ive also noticed when i have it on the table or if i use it on the couch sometimes that it seems to be seems melting my leather on my couch a little bit, i do mainly have it on the floor but i like to keep it up on the couch so the dogs cant chew it as they had a tendency to chewing. So is it supposed to get extremely hot like that? thanks

Forgot to add, twice now the magsafe has gotten so hot that it turns off? i then have to wait for it to cool down and unplug it for 5-10 mins. This happened within 30 mins of each other.

Macbook pro is running extremely hot

when running graphics intensive programs (normally Second Life) my macbook pro gets extremely hot and will top 200 F. at high temps performance begins to sufffer. i use smcFanControl to help cool it and to track the temp. i retruned it to apple once through Best Buy where i purchased it. it had a nonfunctional key and at the time i had them check for the high temperatures. it came back with a new motherboard but the high temps persisted. this process takes 3 weeks.
are there any suggestions on how to keep it cool. fans haven't worked for me.

You might try a cooling pad. The Mac will run hotter using graphics intensive programs, and would probably benefit from one of these. Best Buy should have a selection of these to choose from. I don't use one myself, so I don't have any specific suggestions. A Google search might be worth doing, as there are sometimes reviews.
I assume that the Mac is being used in a way that it is well-ventilated and not on a pillow or anything like that which would impede its ability to cool itself. Air needs to be able to circulate freely around it since it also uses its metal skin to radiate away the heat.
Good luck!

Macbook pro charger getting too hot

Seems like the ADP-85 EBT charger is getting unusually hot when I am charging and using the computer at the same time. You can hold the transformer, but it is uncomfortable. I have seen a lot of complaints about this. I will take my meat thermometer and get a reading. Any thoughts?
Output rated 18.5v X 4.6A = 85.1 W

If your adapter "brick" is resting on a soft surface like upholstery, bedclothes or a carpet, it will heat up more than normally because air can't circulate freely around it. Rest it on a hard flat surface, just like the MBP itself.
The charger will also get hotter when the machine is in use than when it isn't, all other things being equal, because more power is being drawn from the adapter to power whatever you're doing. When charging the battery is all that's happening, the adapter doesn't need to supply nearly as much power, and runs considerably cooler.
It's also true that the charging process itself draws more power and generates more heat early in a charge, i.e. when the battery is deeply drained, than it does later, when the battery is closer to fully charged. The charging current tapers off sharply as full charge approaches.
If none of these little explanations seems to address the circumstances at hand or the behavior you've observed, you can always take your machine and adapter to a Genius Bar and have them tested without charge. Just make an appointment first:

Macbook pro is getting really hot just got it in octuber 2012

I just got a MacBook Pro in Octuber 2012 and now after installing windows 7 with Boot Camp is getting really hot, can some body help me?
thanks,

How hot is hot. Download from the Internet 'Temperature Monitor' and install it. When you get some readings, post them for an evaluation.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro is getting pretty hot

Hi there I have a mid 2012 Macbook pro running Mavericks with 8GB of Ram. I don't understand why but my temperatue has kinda increased by like 10 degrees for no reason. At idle the thing used to sit at 32 degrees and now sits at about 41 to 43 degrees. When I used to play CIv 5 and skyrim temperatue would rise to 70 to 75 degrees but now Civ 5 rises to about 82 and Skyrim to like 89 degrees. I nearly want to downgrade or wipe the whole thing and start again. The Temperature really annoys me because I'm a student and it's not like I can just buy a new one when this one melt. Any help you can offer would be really appreciated. Thank You

Macbook Pro 13 Getting Super Hot!

This is my second question on the communities! I'm loving my Macbook pro 13 (non retina) but I'm a big Minecraft player, I found that when playing minecraft after about 10 or so mins the fans would get really really loud. So I downloaded temperature monitor and watched the temps, as soon as a cracked up Minecraft my GPU (intergrated) was reaching 95c without the fans getting super loud and the CPU proximity was about 75-80c. So... is there something I can do to improve my temperature or am I just going to have to stop doing semi-graphicly intensive tasks. On the other hand I have enough to buy myself an iMac? So would an iMac be able to handle it at a much lower temperature? I know i'm a noob but I recently got a Mac and am really new to this. Thanks in advance

Installing Mt. Lion will not increase the performance of your MBP. actually it may slow it down. 10.6.8 is still the most efficient OS from Apple.
I suggest installing a larger and faster HDD. A 7200 rpm drive or perhaps a hybrid. A SSD is still too expensive for the advantages it affords (my opinion).
Backup up your data to an external HDD and do a 'clean' install. Erase the internal HDD and reinstall 10.6.8.
From the external HDD, select what you want and leave the 'junk' behind. This can result in a rejuvenated MBP.
Regarding the heat issue, I suggest opening the MBP and see if there is dust and debris inside. If so clean it out. A clean reinstall should resolve any software issues unless you have third party applications such as AV apps or MacKeeper or the like.
Additional ideas may be gleaned from this document:

Macbook Pro 2011 getting really hot?

I have an early 2011 macbook pro 15" monitor. Lately, I haven't been able to even touch the bottom of my laptop because of how hot it gets. Here's the temperatures and fan: Right now, it's cool enough to pick up, but about twenty minutes ago the computer got really hot and the fans didn't sound like they were on very high (this was before I downloaded the widget to see the actual values). I was also only using Chrome, no other apps. I started to notice this when I started using facetime: the fans suddenly didn't spin like crazy when the temperature rose. Is there any fix/tip/help for this? I will try and update once I get the higher temperature to appear again.

Hi t,
You can try an app such as SMC Fan Control which will allow you to set the fans to the speed of your preference.

Macbook Pro 2012 gets extremely hot when playing games on windows par.
