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.
have you got a link to download it please?

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.
God, i didn't know there were programs out there like this. Thanks may come in handy if i ever do get a mac! Haha.
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.Quote:
