MBP 13 issue

hello,

don't know happening, last 2 days mbp has gone weird.
fans have gone 6000 rpm, watching video streaming , having firefox open. now, watching movie on vlc + firefox , fans going @ 5500 rpm, cpu 88 degrees, enclosure base 36 degrees.
moreover, feel taking on battery life since giving me 2 hours !!
tried let cool down shutting down , not using few hours didnt help. =(

have opinion on subject?
!

 

the intel processors used in macs designed automatically shut down prevent damage if overheat (around 100c/212f - 105c/221f, depending on processor). istat pro give accurate readings of temps, among other things.

unless there rare defect in mac, temps within normal operating range, considering workload you're putting on it. websites flash content, games , other multimedia apps put higher demand on cpu/gpu, generating more heat. normal. if you're putting high demands on system, such gaming or other multimedia tasks, expect temps rise , fans spin accordingly. it's mac doing job maintain temps within normal range.

fans on when mac on, spinning @ minimum of 2000 rpm (for mbps) or 1800 rpm (for mbas , mbs). spin faster needed keep temps @ safe level. if they're spinning without increased heat, try resetting smc. also, make sure don't block vents, located @ rear, near hinge.

may have better success in attracting responses thread, , you'll make thread easier find searching same answers, if follow this tip.
