Are you sure it was not celcius
You can't get that temp even if you're on a desktop
Try Realtemp

So I used Realtemp you were right I miss read the temperature.

This are cropped-shot of Realtemp and Dolphin running WindWaker
in IR 2.5x and 16 Anisotropic

You can see on the picture one of the core is not *OK* it's written *LOG*

Those are very high temperatures.. I'd advice you not to play any Dolphin games unless you're willing to fry your laptop.

Thermal Status :
OK = Good
LOG = overheating (replace your thermal compound with aftermarket Arctic MX-4 might reduce the heat)
HOT = burning

Really ? I never had any issues though. I have played days already without any trouble.

How can I fix this issue on a MacBook Pro ? How can I uses * Arctic MX-4 *?

I don't feel very much confident about opening my own laptop my self, too big hands. I think I'll look for a pro to do this.

Or is this can be made by Apple ? Does it take off the warranty if we do it ? Is it effective , like can you really tell the difference with and without the paste ?

OEM thermal compound on multi-media laptop (Macbook Pro , Dell , Acer-Gateway , HP-Compaq ,Lenovo , Asus , MSI ....) are usually bad
Most Gaming Laptop use aftermarket/brand thermal compound like MX-2 , MX-3 , MX4 , IC Diamond + decent cooler (2 big fansinks on the back)
My friend has MSI gaming Laptop (i7 2630QM + Nvidia GTX 460M) , he only get 55-60C when running dolphin (>3hours or so)

But where can I get order those product ?
I know that my last question was messy but concerning the warranty on apple computer does it affect anything ?

I don't know . Most laptop manufacturers have warranty seals placed inside the laptop . If you tear it , you will loose warranty

Agree
However , i think you should leave it be then build a desktop or buy another gaming laptop for dolphin

Amazon , Ebay , Newegg *US* , local store ...
IC Diamond is better than Arctic MX-4 but IC Diamond is really expensive
Also , you should use "laptop cooling pad" when gaming

The pro I'm planning to ask is working at Apple, repair stuff etc, I guess he knows how to make the things discret... Thinking about it the warranty story should be fine.

Money isn't really an problem I mean that Wii by nintendo even with an HDMI connector can't have as good graphic as a computer can I'm pretty sure. Obviously as long as there is no emulation issue. So I rather invest on a powerful gaming laptop but there is to much choice, Which one our nowadays at still at the top ? Alienware ?

I don't mind buying this items, I mean the IC Diamond and the cooling pad but, I still don't understand how come that my computer use to be able to emulate the game perfectly in high graphics and now that I have changed some settings etc the game FPS became so slow ... even if I put the settings back to where it was...

Like playing Zelda Wind Waker I could have perfect FPS (I limit at 35( and I never went below 33 FPS the whole time in IR 2.5 and Anisotropic x16 and now it became so bad... do you think anything has burned inside the laptop ?
