I found a solution that helps greatly with the heat problem, and doesnt require any type of surgery. Theres an app for os x called smc fan control. It allows you to up the minimum speed of both internal fans to whatever you like, up to 6000 rpms. This took care of my heat problem so well. Before, my macbook processors/interior was at 140+ fahrenheit. Now, when i have the fans throttled to 6k rpm, my temps are stable around 115*F, and the exterior case temps are greatly diminished as well.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

Isnt that bad for the fans to be on at almost full speed constantly?
