HOT RETINA

I have been noticing my macbook pro retina 15" has been getting warmer. Im using it on a glass desk so i think it shouldnt be getting this hot. I downloaded smc fancontrol and the fans are running at ~3700 rpm @ 77 degrees C. Even the keys feel hot. Any recommendations. I also set the min fan speed to different speeds and the fans dont seemt to be running any faster (at least i dont think they are). If you haven't adjusted fan speeds, what are your fans speeds and normal temps? Thanks for any info/recommendations

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

My Retina was getting significantly hotter than that. I wish it would run at 77C. THIRD logic board now specifically because of heat issues.


My has been going to over 100C even without really heavy loads.


Their strategy was: 1.) Deny problem, 2.) Replace logic board, 3.) Deny problem, 4.) Replace logic board again, 5.) Stone wall.
