MBP + Win7 heat

[dmbfan41]

Those of you who installed windows 7 on your macbook pros. does the case overheat often?

Last time I had windows on my MBP it would constantly rev up the fan (xp and beta win7)

my problem is, the FANS won't do anything ..
i am using http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php and my fans are constant 2000rpm

is that okay?!

Yes with my Early 2009 - 15" MBP 2.93 windows 7 ran incredibly hot. I tried both 64bit and 32bit variations to see if there was a difference, however both caused it to run uncomfortably hot. Worried that I may due untold damage to my MBP I decided I didn't need windows 7 to have that threat.

My MacBook Air, while running Windows 7 barely makes a whisper unless I load up a game. After I close the game, the fans would never slow down unless I let it idle for about 15 minutes.

My late 2006 MBP doesn't give me any problems with Windows 7 or Vista. If anything, 7 is cooler than Vista.

And I thought watching youtube videos was bad on my Macbook Pro lol. Seems like the minutes I run a youtube video the fans start running at redline Two other friends of mine have a regular Macbook and they have the same issues when watching youtube videos.

Is it a unibody? I have a pre-unibody MBP and after a few minutes of watching Youtube, it's warm on my legs, but the fans have yet to come on.

Edit: I think it may be just a factor of what stuff is in the machine. I haven't gotten OS X to ramp the fans up over 2000rpm, even while playing flash in OS X...

same story, didn't find a solution yet. both 32 and 64. though 64 seems a little bit better, not too much though. overheats at some games as well and just freezes on a black screen

I have a worse problem with this. I find that once i've been running win xp for about half an hour the keys begin to stick randomly.

I've got a macbook 4,1. I think it's an overheating problem, as the same thing plagues me when running ubuntu 9.04 (although there, the keyboard just stops functioning altogether for a second or two periodically).

Incredibly annoying.

I'm hoping windows 7 resolves the issue but i'm not counting on it

Anyone else comment on XP and Windows 7 heat issues?


PS: Not even half way through this Youtube video and my fans feel like they are near redline now on my Macboook Pro. lol..
