I watch flash movies online alot. Use to do it with firefox, but cpu would hit 70%+. Now with 10.2 and safari, cpu is about 30% usage, but the fan still kickin in.


it's sooooo annoying!!!! thinking about goin 2011 mbp solely because of this.

Hm, using Safari + Flash 10.2 on 11" ultimate. I don't have any of these problems.. CPU usage is way below 30%, while watching flash videos, and the fan is not hearable at all!

Edit: (No Coolbook!)

Well the CPU is not the only thing that generates heat, the GPU does as well and the fan needs to cool both of them down.

That said, I can watch HD youtube vids all day on my 13" and it bearly makes any noise at all. I do also have coolbook installed.
