after searching about why my macbook became so hot, i found out about a program called smcfancontrol. It basically lets you change the speed of the fans which then cool it down. its great, and iof you dont already know, i thought id let you guys know.

Sounds good that, I've often been concerned by the acrid smell of plastic on occasion.

ITS WELL WORTH A SHOT. IT FIXED MY PROBLEM :)
I SET IT AT 4000RPM
it also displays your macbook temperature alongside the fan speed.

I use it quite a bit if the MacBook just doesn't keep up, why it doesn't put the fan on full speed when I am exporting from iMovie, god only knows.

I had this on my MacBook and it sucked, because it wouldn't turn off. I have a Targus chill-mat and it works mint!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is one for Windows machines too... only certain mobos are supported though.
