Originally by: Drake Draconis You should NEVER let your Mac go over 80C hell even over 70C... your leaching years of life off of it. Don't let any of these so called proclaimed experts tell you otherwise.
With careful design and construction, with care toward heat expansion characteristics, it's okay to run up to 125oC for many chips and that's even staying in spec.
Quote: This is not all CCP's fault honestly... this is an Apple defect IMHO (good luck convincing them that!) but honestly the evidence is making CCP look foolish.
It is none of CCP's fault. 100% Apple's fault and whoever is responsible for the overall laptop board layout and venting system.
Quote: Something changed when Dominion came out... it shouldn't be eating so much frakking CPU and raising the temp that high.
Heat can't be considered as a valid measure of game performance. Games, by their nature, demand resources. In fact one could make the claim that games are the most demanding of computing resource.
Quote: This is a very valid issue/problem and I'd like to see someone find a way to run EVE at decent levels and keep the temp no higher than 60 to 65C.
Buy a computer that works.
Quote: I also happen to concur that this is Cider causing the problem... windows crap code being translated for Mac is never a fun thing.
Cider has problems but none of them are heat related.

Von: That's an entirely inappropriate comment for this thread. This thread is about the MacBook's overheating problems, which has nothing at all to do with the Eve client let alone Mac vs Windoze variants.

Originally by: VonKaplanek III I beg to differ, this thread is about keeping your Mac's cool while playing eve and I responded by telling the OP how I keep my Mac cool while playing eve.
The real answer is to get the Mac repaired so it won't fail.

Lol, software can't break the computer unless it's faulty in the first place. In this particular case it's a big flaw that needs urgent attention.

Originally by: SPACE L0RD If you don't recognize that those levels of heat are reducing the life of your equipment, well, then your just in denial.
Then you've got a faulty laptop. If it can't handle 100% at all times it's faulty. It's really that simple.
You've been told a number of times. Who's in denial here?

Originally by: SPACE L0RD Not really. Cider is an ANOMALY in how it uses CPU cores, the windows client doesn't even come close to 50% in one core on my macbook, but in OSX BOTH cores are pegged 100% for as long as you are playing.
That doesn't at all change the reliability of the hardware. Just because one piece if software wants 100% makes no diff at all.
Quote: ...heat kills chips, thermal expansion kills caps, all of that shortens the life of your laptop
That doesn't stop this laptop being a flawed design does it? I agree you can work around such a flaw by treating it as if it's ******ed but there is no reason this should be considered acceptable.
Quote: If you wan't a laptop that can take that kind of abuse (100% both cores + GPU for hours on end), get an alienware...you'll notice it will be MUCH louder and almost TWICE as thick...
100% is not abuse. What an Alienware gives is extra performance when still running at 100%. Just that it's 100% is faster is all.
Quote: Oh, and if you don't like my OPINION STFU...
Speak for yourself.

Originally by: Schnitzar The other advantage is that when running in Mac OS, when I minimize EVE all other programs run very very slowly, no such problem when running in Windows.
That one is rather peculiar. Can't explain it myself. Anyone care to try out running Eve via WineBottler?
