It has been beastly hot here in Ohio, and I have been anxiously watching the temp gauge on My Battery go up, up, up. We don't have ac, and other than aiming a fan at the pb, there isn't much I can do. I looked at those cooling stands, but like many other people on this list, I just can't put money into one of those right now. While worrying about how hot the book can get before problems start, I took a plastic bag of frozen pet food out of the freezer and set it on the counter. Suddenly, the eureka hit me. Who knew the pb was a good pet food defroster? :)
Seriously, how hot is too hot? Until I started running my battery, I had no idea how hot these puppies get. I am wondering how much heat affects overall performance/battery life. Does excessive temperature activate system shutdown, or any evasive techniques? I have dealt with heat issues on desktop systems. How much hotter do g3 upgrade cards make pb's run?
