Many years ago (that summer where we hit 40 degrees or something) I
bought a 'laptop cooler'. Imagine a small metal stand sloping forward a
bit, with plenty of gaps in the metal, and two fans, left and right,
that blow up onto the base of the laptop, as well as giving it plenty of
aeration. It is powered by USB and has an on-off switch. it did a great
job in preventing the laptop from getting too hot for comfort
(literally).
It's currently sitting around on a shelf as I never use it anymore...if
you think you'd like it for an 'inconvenience fee' (ie getting it into
the post, wrapping it up etc) let me know off list.

Thanks Sam - I’m not at all used to hearing fans running in a Mac
and it sounds alarming.
If it gets hot I suppose it will just add to the atmosphere of the
game! ;-)
Cheers,
Stephen

Hi y’all,
I’ve now got a new/old MacBook Pro (Early 2015) to replace my
trusty Mid-2011 21.5” iMac.
One of the few games I play is Diablo 3 which ran just fine on the
iMac - the only sound being that from the game itself.
Having simply started the game on the MacBook Pro, let alone
dispatching the hordes of hell, the fans start and then get faster
and faster until they sound like a small jet plane waiting on the
runway! Diablo seems to play fine but I’m concerned that the
MacBook is going to expire or cook its CPU or something else.
Is this normal behaviour when playing a game? Will the MacBook
shutdown to protect itself if it all starts getting too much? Any
reassurance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Stephen
