Is heat an Issue?

now, there is talk about the insulation paste around the motherboard being overapplied, causing overheating.

now iv read that there seem to be a number of people with the issue of the macbook overheating.

now in comparison to the vaio, the macbook is alot cooler, and does not seem to be having any issues.

when i herd about the overheating issues, i found a measure for the temperature, in the form of a widget from the mac website, istatpro

this is an great little program if you are a little concerned as it gives you constant read outs of temperatures, memory usage, cpu usage etc.

if your still concerned, there is a program that iv been using that allows you to change the default speed of the fan, allowing you to increase it when you need to to cool the pc.

smcFanControl:

this should fix all concerns about heat.
