Ever since I dumped my PC workstation in favor of the upcoming Mac Pro, I've been working mostly on my Macbook Pro. I'm currently using premiere CC and when viewing 5k footage at 1/4th resolution I can see the temps skyrocket to 90c and over 102c at times when exporting. Scary indeed, even with SMC fan control ramped up to 5.5k rpm. This is crazy for a supposedly "pro" machine that was made to handle this type of application. I wanted to see if some of you may be having this heat issue or it's just a normal thing.
Using RCX I get temps above 80-90c just viewing at 1/4th res. I have a 27" iMac as well, but with no USB3.0 or Thunderbolt, I have to use the MBPR for the time being.
I've reset the PRAM and SMC, but no help there. Was going to replace the thermal paste, then realized I didn't have the proper screw driver to open her up.
Have any of you experience this type of heat on your MBPR?
specs
2.6ghz
16gb
I also have an issue with the fans being stuck at 2000rpm and i have to manually adjust it higher for more intensive apps, but that's something else for the apple geniuses to figure out.
