Retina 15 heat after logic board replacement
Hi
About 2 weeks ago I had taken my (4 month old) MBPR 15" to the Apple service. The CPU and GPU temperatures were skyrocketing. My CPU reached the 90s in OSX just after boot with no programs switched on and when running games in bootcamp it reached a scary 105Celsius.
A week later I got my laptop back stating they replaced the whole logic board. From some reasearch I understood that this is the motherboard with CPU, GPU on it. Once again I ran some tests and got the same results temperatures in Celsius:
OSX standard user use: 60-70
OSX flash based content like youtube: 101 !!!!!
OSX and parallels: 60-98 !!!
Bootcamp standard use: 60-70
Bootcamp gaming: 90-105 !!!!
I've read on forums that the retina does operate at higher temperatures but they do seem a little over the top. I've also tried the Apple Hardware Test and results were that there are no problems found.
I use a cooling pad and even point a fan directly at the device. I am a little angry that on the http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/performance-retina/ site they state one can play games and perform video and phot editing and it still fails to do so at decent temperatures. What else could be the cause, if replacing the logic board didn't solve the problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lukas
