Alright I have a MacBook Pro Retina and I have partitioned the hard drive to install Windows 7. Dolphin ran almost perfect on Mountain Lion besides some lighting errors. So I installed Dolphin on Windows 7 because it has less errors than Mountain Lion. Well the lighting is fixed, but my computer is getting way too hot. It reached a max of 97° Celsius / 207° Fahrenheit before I shut it down. When I run Dolphin on Mountain Lion I reach a max of 62° Celsius / 145° Fahrenheit. Any idea what would cause this and how I can fix it?
Computer reaching 97° Celsius / 207° Fahrenheit!

Download the Software "Lubbo's Fan Control" and set the two fans to the highest rpm value (6000rpm)
This will help a lot. I only get about 75-85 degree Celsius! 11-15-2012, 07:17 AM
There's also the more popular SpeedFan, and on the OS X side there's smcFanControl. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php http://www.eidac.de/?p=134
For reference, my MacBook Air's CPU gets to ~200º F when running(/compiling) Dolphin under Mountain Lion. Hasn't ever shut itself off or anything, which is more of a perk from the way Turbo Boost balances clockspeed/temperature than anything. Apple's laptops tend to get pretty damn hot, what with their aluminium shells and their fans connected to the CPU by a three-inch-long flat heatsink... I hear they've improved the thermal design in the Retina 'Books quite a bit, though, with those intake vents on the bottom and the quieter asymmetrical fans.

Yep, that's true. The new cooling system of the Macbook Pro Retina works quieter and more efficient.
I have no overheating problems with Dolphin. I also tried Prime95 -> all temps are fine, I never get more than 85-90 degree celsius. Quote:I never get more than 85-90 degree celsius.Lol . i thought you would never reach 70 degree celsius on full load because you said like this before : Quote:The new cooling system of the Macbook Pro Retina works quieter and more efficient.Now i get it thanks . Quote:Any idea what would cause this and how I can fix it?because Macbook Retina is not a gaming laptop . You should buy Arctic MX-4 and reapply thermal compound Most multi-media laptop run hot with Dolphin ... Laptop: Mini PC :: 11-15-2012, 04:11 PM
85-90 degree celsius with Prime95
When I play with Dolphin, I get about 70-80 degree celsius. And I never had throttling so far.
It's a joke
Even a gaming laptop like Asus G75vw still having 70-80 degree celsius with Prime95 In my case , i have this result with Prime95 (11min test) My laptop temp will rise up to 69 degree celsius - 2.93GHz when dolphin is running ... Laptop: Mini PC :: 11-15-2012, 07:19 PM
I could post some screenshots, when I come home from school.
btw: Your laptop is modded No surprise, that you get good temps ^^ 11-15-2012, 08:47 PM

There is an app called "gfxcardstatus". With this app, you can easily force OS X to use the integrated or dedicated GPU. So if the HD Graphics 4000 is active, switch to the GeForce GT 650M and you'll see, that the temps go up
