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.

Is it normal for a 2011 2.2 macbook pro to get really hot while watching a HD youtube video?

Is it normal for a 2011 2.2 macbook pro to get really hot while watching a HD youtube video? The fans get really loud and everything gets pretty hot when im just watching some lame video on youtbe thats HD? for a 2.2 quadcore wth 1gb of video ram this is an issue? I would think it wouldnt even phaze it.

Only running firefox and itunes.
4 gb of ram
more than 15% available
up to date flash, flip4mac
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.

Macbook Pro 15" gets really hot

My Macbook Pro 15" (bought few years ago. i think it's 2010 or 2011 model) gets sometimes really hot. It's ok when I use it for browsing or programming or reading etc. but when using flash (eg. youtube) or pipelight, it starts to get hot. After some ten minutes flash starts making the laptop hot. Sensors reports 80 °C which is just below the "high". With pipelight it gets even hotter and when I tried minecraft it got _really_ hot as soon as I started the actual game (not in the menu), almost 100 °C which is the "critical" line. I'm using cinnamon as my DE (which actually doesn't matter because I also tried without DE). My fans are working correctly, at least I think so because they are humming and sensors reports about 3000 rpm when running flash. (about 6000 when running minecraft). On OS X I don't have this problem. I hope there's something I can do for this. I really have no idea after reading tons of "linux getting hot" topics online. I'm still a little bit noob with linux so if someone has an idea how to solve this I'd appreciate clear explanation.
Thank you for helpping!
EDIT: Reading from some forums about macbook pro getting hot I've found that the normal operating temperature is actually 50 - 100 °C. So maybe it's ok.

i had similar issues w/ debian on my hp machine. here's some ideas to try:
1. make sure your graphic card is installed & configured correctly
2. install powertop and thermald and setup a good configuration
3. take a look at cpu frequency scaling and maybe dial it down a bit.

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.

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

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)

I have macbook pro 13 early 2011 and just got a lg 21:9 wide monitor, how do i get my mac to use the entire screen with distorting the picture? i already purchased mini dp to display port cable

I cannot get it too use entire screen. I have 3-4 inches on both sides. I did not buy a 29inch monitor to not use all of it

MikeD304,
unless your MacBook Pro’s GPU supports a resolution with a 21:9 proportion, it won’t completely fill the 21:9 monitor without distortion.
(Here’s a hint: no MacBook Pro GPU supports a resolution with a 21:9 proportion.)

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 battery getting too hot

Hi,
I got my macbook nearly 2 months ago. its 2012 13"macbook pro n i have running mountain lion 10.8.2.The left side gets too much hot.i think its battery. its my clothes like jeans which keep me save otherwise, it would burn my skin! the heat up happens within 15-30 mins. i have istat and its telling me my fan exhaust is between 3k-4k.sometimes it even goes to 6.5k. I also have issue of battery. i read that after 10.8.2 update the battery isssue get solved but mine got worse. i get 3 to 3.5 hours tops. what is wrong. should i get it fixed because its just months old and being so much heat up n instead of 7 hrs i get 3 hrs.

What programs are running?
This is the biggest factor in battery life and fan speed. For example, I have Safari open at the moment. If I open World of Warcraft my computer will do exactly what you have described and if I close it again it will go back to "normal".

Horizontal lines appear in various programs on macbook pro that gets very hot.

thin horizontal lines appear occasionally across window of firefox, if i switch to finder, not there. appears to stay with windows of different programs.
lately above the keyboard along back edge in the middle under monitor gets very hot almost to hot to touch, uncomfortable on lap.
i have no idea what the memory cards are. some have suggested i should replace memory cards?

I don't really know about the new models as far as typical operating temperatures. The ones you mention are not meaningfully high to me. My 2011 13" MBP with an i5 CPU typically idles near 50º C.
As for the speed issue that is hard to evaluate on the basis of personal opinion. You can download and run GeekBench benchmarks and compare the results to those reported for the same model configuration. You can use CineBench to benchmark video performance.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec sh
and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

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 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!
Derek Schep
Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina:
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
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.

My macbook pro retina gets very hot and slow

whenever i use my macbook pro retina for an extended amount of time 1-2 hours watching videos online or playing games it gets very hot, starts lagging and gets unresponsive, i can only use it with a fan underneath basically, my old macbook pro had a similar problem, it took like 3 weeks of them checking it to find a problem which took them another couple of weeks to fix, i cannot be without my laptop for any extended period of time. fans inside seem to be working fine, but it still get incredibly hot... please help!!!

Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

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