I just bought a new Macbook Pro 2010 and everything has been running great (first MAC). I installed WoW and been playing it for about a week. I had the graphics on ultra and everything ran flawlessly, Dalaran run smooth and loads were fast. Then a couple days ago a very weird thing happened. (This has happened everyday past few days) After playing for 20min-60min the game drops down to 6-10fps on ultra and on low settings it still runs really really laggy. The comp handle the game on ultra great from the beginning. I have absolutely no idea why it all of a sudden drops to crappy fps. Its not gradual, its instant. Please I need help this is very frustrating and confusing >< a blue post or maybe a reference to another post with a solution would be very helpful.

Hello Kungfucrab,


So what you are telling us is that you were slowly suffocating your baby, nice.

To add to what the two posters above had to say, I would go with both a fan control program and a chill pad if your situation warrants it. You basically don't want to run your Mac at 150°F or above for long periods of time, doing so will shorten the life of the computer.

Here's a link to the SMCFanControl Program:
