Laptop cooling problems...

[babadoctor]

My macbook pro 13 inch from 2011 https://support.apple.com/kb/SP619?locale=en_US

is having significant problems. 

With chrome and 7 tabs (tabs are as follows: Text website very small, 2 other tabs with CNN, One google drive tab, one google docs tab that i am typing my HW on, LTT homepage.)

My laptop is at 70C lowest and highest 95C.

It hurts my fingers to touch the keys...

Applications open:

google chrome:

Spotify: listening to music

thats all

the dock is as shows:

why is this ....

i took it to the apple store and they said the fan was clean of dust and stuff

its also slooww

help on why this might be? 

and i know a laptop should get this hot

ambient temps are 21C (or 70F for you americans)

(i closed alot of tabs during that screenie)

Because the cooling on them is inadequate in exchange for looks

i think fans are made to spin?

you are just making them spin at the rated speed

Use a program-cant remember the name-to make the fan change speed according to your CPU Diode temperature, you put in the temp to start ramping up the fans(say 55C) and the MAX Fan speed where it reaches that temp and runs the fan at full, worked brilliantly on my MBA Late 2010

they are made to run at rated speed

not for the entire time its on tho

[shypin]

not for the entire time its on tho

im pretty sure fans can spin at 100% speed all the time without dying

 

plus thats the only way youll be able to keep the temps down

It's cuz macbook pros suck. I have one and it can get really hot watching youtube if I'm doing it on my lap (a non solid surface). Are you using it on a tabletop or countertop? It should run a lot cooler on one versus a lap or a couch.
