Temps for MPB 2012

Hi, I've had a MBP for around 4 years now for work and video editing and its still going strong. About a couple weeks ago I decided to bootcamp the computer into windows 10 to access some programs and files, and to try vegas pro 13.


I noticed the fans were spinning unusually loud and that it got hot even idiling, something that I didn't immediately notice in OSX, but was also a bit unusual.

Wanted to make sure this was normal, that the thermal paste was still working and that I didn't have a problem with it. Here are the temps:

The mac will spike all the way to up around 100 degrees (celcius)when you're using vegas, at which point you notice it slowing down and thermal throttling.


On a side note, Ive had 2 harddrives replaced in the last 30 days, which I find odd and can be blamed on the temperature, as it affects them a lot.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
