Play Simcity 2000 in boxer, MBP become very hot

Hi mac people,
last time downloaded boxer and simcity 2000 cd collection, i never change any setting and the game setting leave it as default, but then my mac become very hot near the charging part( like super hot!!!), so I go setting and have check, the cpu speed is tuned at max, and my mac activity monitor showed 8 core is running almost at max!!!!(I only opening this app!),
Does everyone know how to change the setting for boxer and simcity 2000?
Because of this, my mac logic board is burn and change one in the warranty period because of this(BUT THE TRUE IS, I changed totally three logic board near the end of the warranty period!! make me buy a apple care which cost me to spend more hard earn money!)
Does you all have the same problem, or only me?

Use a Windows 3D gaming tower to play games, it's why they mod them with elaborate cooling.
Windows operating system versions get a decade of support on average, you can open them up and clean the dust out and you can upgrade the video card.
The Mac strikes out in all three, you only killing the expensive Mac prematurely.

Brand new MBP 13inch VERY HOT

So i bought my new MBP 13inch about a month ago and ive noticed that it is slower than my old macbook (black 2007 model) dispite haveing double the ram and a better processor. Also I have noticed that it has become very hot. It starts after about 15minutes of use and it stays very hot. I can not have it on my lap.
Ive gone to the genius bar once for both of these problems and was told that everything is fine, but I cannot accept that since it is slower and so much hotter than my old macbook. I think this specific laptop may be a lemon.
Anyone know if these problems are normal?

.....Another thing that happened. Today i was watching youtube videos on my MBP and the screen would go to black, I thought the computer went to sleep but it was completely unresponsive. After a few attempts at trying to get it to wake up(with no luck) I decided to kill the power. After waiting a minute with the computer being off i just hit the power button again and the computer would start up and begin loading, but after a few seconds it would die again. I went through this process 4-5 times before it would fully load......
Sounds like the logic board may already be in its death throes.....if LB does die soon, then insist on a replacement MBP; the logic board IS a weak point on MBPs and LB failure is not uncommon.
Welcome to the world of declining MBP quality and reliability...."sigh".
Anyway, as I've said, time and again, anyone who purchases a new MBP should definitely purchase an AppleCare extended warranty before the one year warranty runs out.
A MBP owner without it is just playing Russian roulette.

I have found that my iphone 5 becomes very hot. What can I check or turn off to cool it down?

I have found that my iphone 5 becomes very hot. What can I check or turn off to cool it down?

Put the device down occasionally.
Cut back on game playing.
Kill any apps running in the background.
Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore. Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Hi Limfromsi,
It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:

If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

IPhone break on backside; becomes very hot!

Hello,
I had a terrible unlucky accident with my bike 4-5 days ago, and since then, there is a deep scratch on the backside of my iPhone 3GS.
I just noticed that after I just checked if everything was allright, my iPhone become very hot and I had to turn it off because I was afraid that it could explode or something.
I restored my iPhone, disabled all services and just tried to install some Apps but then again it became very hot, so i turned it off.
I don't know what to do. Should I send it to Apple? Or, how can I ask if I get a replacement for my iPhone?
I tried to use the Online Support, but there is no point where it says that iPhone gets hot or something.
I'm from germany, so sorry for my english! Tried my best
Maybe anyone knows what to do, and if I could get help by Apple?
Thanks and all the best!
Thomas

I am getting the same problem, I'm going to my local Apple Store to see if they can help me. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Running Fedora core 6 the Satego P100-10U becomes very hot

Hi all,
I run Fedora Core 6 on my Satego P100-10U Notebook. But there is a problem using
NVIDIA-Driver. After few seconds running Fedora the notebook becomes very hot.
The NVIDIA sensors show me a core temperature about 100-112 Degrees.
Is there a solution, how i can fix this?
with best regards
Johann.

Hi
As you probably know the Toshiba designs and publish the own graphic drivers for the Toshiba notebooksthese graphic drivers are not the same like the original graphic drivers from graphic card manufacture like nVidia or ATI!
The Toshiba graphic drivers are modified to prevent the graphic cards from overheating!!!
Usually the notebooks dont provide any special graphic card cooling modules but only the CPU cooling module and therefore the notebook graphic card driver controls the graphic card performance.
If the temperature increases to the critical level the driver slows down the card to decreases the temperature and warmness producing.
The original Nvidia or ATI drivers dont support such feature!!!
In my opinion this is a reason why the card temperature increases to higher level!!!
Be careful, something like that could damage the graphic card!!!

Whilst using photoshop my iMac has become very hot is this normal

Whilst using photoshop on my iMac it has become very hot is this normal

What iMac model do you have and what version of the Mac OS is it running? Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu is a good start. Its first window looks like this:
Note the two lines I've highlighted with the red arrows; post what they display on your computer.
Different iMac models have different heat tolerences and heat management options, so we can better help you if we have those two bits of information

Is it normal for the casing of an iMac to become very hot?

The casing on my imac becomes very hot to the touch at the top of the casing. Also the screen is becoming hot. Any ideas on the cause please?

I suggest downloading iStat Pro or iStat Menus (easily found using your favorite search engine). Then you'll be able to see exactly what your machine is doing at any given time and the associated temperatures and fan speeds.
I have an 2.8GHz i7 27" iMac. These are the temps I see under most conditions (per iStat Pro):
HD: 90F
CPU: 115F
GPU Diode: 120F
GPU Heatsink: 117F
Mem Controller: 103F
Optical Drive: 85F
Power Supply2: 115F
The hottest part of the case is the top left corner most of the time.
When my machine is really cranking (when encoding video, for example) I've seen the CPU and power supply temps get up to around 130-140F.

My iPhone Becomes Very Hot is this normal?

Hello, i had my iPhone 5 exchanged few weeks ago due to button unresponsive, i recently noticed my iPhone becomes very hot on back panel and left side of the phone is this normal? Should i take it to apple again?

Many people have reported this problem.Apple says the heat may be because of the battery or because of extensive use of 3g or 4g data.I suggest you take it to Apple and see what they have to say.Its your choice.
Thanks

Mac Book becomes very hot within munutes (67 C- 72 C)

I recently got a new macbook. It looks cool and all but got a big problem.
The notebook becomes very hot within minutes of usage.
I have downloaded the cpu temperature measurement utility and
got these readings.
a) 15 minutes of usage (67 Degree Centigrade, hot enought to
melt wax)
b) 30 minutes of usage (72 Degree centigrade)
After googling this topic, I see that many of the users of macbook are facing the same problem. Does apple intend to do
anything about this problem.
I have used sony vaio and dell in the past.
Never noticed any
heating problems with them.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.4) New

That's about the range I see for normal usage with a browser, mail, and itunes open. You must take into consideration the current room temperature. I've seen screenshots of MacBooks running up to 5 apps with temp is the 50s while others - like you and me - have temperatures in the high 60s low 70s.

When I was watching the video, the computer becomes very hot, may I ask how you can solve

When I was watching the video, the computer becomes very hot, may I ask how you cansolve

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

MBP - feel very hot on keyboard

MBP -
the surface temperature of key board plane is very hot ( 107F ) when in normal operation without plug in the charger. Is it normal ???

The temperatures that your MBP will generate are a function of the number and types of applications in use. Until that is information is provided, no valid advice can be afforded you.
If you want to pursue this, download and install iStat menus:
http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
When you believe that your MBP is 'hot', take screen shots of both and post the images for inspection.
Ciao.
