My MBP has been running really hot lately. I bought it new at the end of June. I know people have mentioned downloading programs to control the fan speed. is that the best option for me? I havent heard the fan kick on as much as I did when i first bought it so I think the fan is the problem...? I am not extremely comfortable messing with complicated settings for the fan that could potentially ruin my MBP, so something that would be a simple fix would be very helpful... Thanks in advance

I would probably take it to a genus at an Apple Store.

You spent way to much $$ to take a chance here.

I don't have a MB P, rather just a MB , but doesn't sound right too me.

Are you doing any intensive video processing or any processing in general when you notice the surge in heat?

[Jimbo123]

no not at all...just everyday computer use such as internet browsing, email, itunes, an occasional game, etc.

Since you are still under warranty I would be rushing off to the nearest Apple Store ASAP.

That just doesn't sound right to me.

I reset my SMU and the fans now control the heat much better. CPU hovers in the mid 40's, not 60's.
