I could just ignore the sound but is it really normal to have fans whirring away without letup accompanied by overheating? I know my Dell laptop\s fans come on and off but not to the level experienced with my new MBP C2D- Specs 2.33 Ghz, 2 GB RAM. Yeah, i dont see anything wrong with fans turning on occasionally,theyre job is to cool down the system, but if the fans come and and keep going without stopping then not a good job is being done to cool the system. OK, when i play AE3, fans come on within minutes, and stay on.Īfter 10 minutes with the fan speed getting louder and more insistent, the game quits without any error messages and back to the desktop = so i relaunch it again to play and again it fans on continuously. Looks like Macs just overheat like mad when playing graphic-intensive games- i thought Macs were good at that = IWell, Supertux plays fine without the fan turning on.

This isnt right - is this a MacBook Pro issue, a Mac issue, or a fan problem. Whats the use of downloading and playing these games if the fans go craZY and dont stop after just a minute. It happened when playing Age of Empires 3, as well as Tribal Trouble. This happened when playing even the Chess game pre-installed. It happens again and again and either automatically quits the game or I have to quit or my Mac will start cooking.

I don't know whether the problem is general or my MacBook Pro has specific issues.įor most graphic intensive games, within just a few minutes the fans start on furiously and starts overheating. I also have to mention I'm a first time Mac user, and am happy with it overall- there is one area however where my MacBook Pro sucks - and thats gaming. I got a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, and its great for common usage, email, browsing, word processing, voip, etc productivity tasks.
