Has anyone else got this issue? My MacBook Pro (bought Nov '10) CPU temperature goes up to 70-90degrees while playing EVE, fans go berserk and the unibody gets pretty hot. Is this normal and if not, anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks,

70-80 is common. 90 a bit higher than in my experience. Fans spinning up to max is ok (I would worry if they do NOT spin up).
There are tools to change system settings so that the fans speed up earlier and, eventually, to a faster setting. These may or may not help in keeping the temperature lower.
Make sure the airflow is not obstructed in any way (clean them from dust, do not play on your bed or on a cushion, etc.). A heat dissipating surface can also help.

Get one of those laptop rests with the fans built in. These will drop the temperature of the metal-bodied MacBook Pros significantly.

Also have this issue on a mac pro (2007), but its worse because after an hour or so of playing I get visual artifacts and it reboots (lost a ferox that way lol)...
Resolved by running win7 and the win client on same computer :/
Just got a macbook pro 15" (intel i5), curious to know if it ever gets to the point where you get artifacts and crashes?
Thx

It's not an issue, it's completely normal. I play Eve on on my 15" MB Pro... one of the new 2.8Ghz i7 models (bought in Nov '10 as well), hooked into a 24" Cinema Display. It gets extremely hot and the fan runs non-stop at full-speed. I made the mistake once of trying to play Eve with my MB on my lap. Yowza!
No ill effects to the laptop.

I play on a 17" MB Pro. Fans start very quickly after client start-up, and keep on going. The case get very warm (quite hot) to the touch, particularly near to where the power lead plugs in. I have never had any issues that i know of due to the heat though, and I have had some marathon sessions.
Question: Could anyone advise me on hot to check what temperature my computer is running at please? Is it a program or in built thing?
Cheers

There is a link up a few posts to a program that reports your temperature.
The issue I got with heat with my MBP: the power plug stops working reliably after several months. When I look at it, it is blackened with heat damage. Contact cleaner will keep it working for a few more weeks, but eventually the computer has to be returned to Apple for repairs. The under computer fans do little to cool the plug, and the fan control app does not really help either, as the internal fan does not cool the plug.
CCP: the Mac version of EVE makes my computer run so hot it is damaging it! Please do something! |

I have the 15 inch Macbook pro bought at about the same time you bought yours. My fans go crazy too but I found some things that helped get it under control.
For some reason my comp wouldn't switch over to the Nvidia GPU every once in a while. Very rarely, but it made the processor heat up to compensate. The gfxcardstatus allows you to switch from the intel to Nvidia whenever you want.
An earlier poster was talking about a cooling pad to put under the computer. I bought an Xpad Slim for around $34 and it has done a fairly job of getting rid of heat. It basically elevates the bottom of your computer off whatever surface its resting on (tables, blankets) and allows air to circulate underneath.
In regard to normality 90 degrees is fine. Your computer automatically senses its internal temperature and if it starts getting too hot it will start shutting or slowing things down. This does NOT mean you shouldn't pay attention to the heat, but don't freak out. Be smart and don't use it on blankets or anything else that will block the air exchange vents.

Found a good way to help the heat is to take the battery out of the bottom and keep the cover off, while also raising it off your desk as said above. Seems to allow better air flow to the back left where it gets the hottest.

Unfortunately, I seem to accidentally kick the power chord about twice a gaming session, and with no battery, that's a bad thing.

Please note that there's a quirk in the design of the MPBs. IF you remove the battery, your machine will switch to running at half the processor speed.
I don't think you are going to find that very useful.
Heat is a big problem on the MBPs when running EVE and I have managed to kill off 4 batteries so far due to excessive heat.
