MacBook Pro – Extreme Heat from Dota 2
I recently purchased the highest model MacBook Pro and I’ve been trying to play some of my favorite game on it. Even if I turn all the graphic settings to off and put most settings on lowest, except for the rendering, the MacBook gets so hot that it nearly burns my hand.
I keep the resolution down to around 1680 X 1050.
I used OSX and Windows 7 Ultimate, the same problem happens on both operating systems.
The first 3 pictures are of my MacBook. With and without dota running and the third is the specs.
4-6 are of my desktop and specs.
The last picture represents another person having the same problem I am having. The solution given is to not play dota. Dota 2 macbook air 2010 a1370 Unacceptable.
Review the screens:
(LAPTOP – MACBOOK PRO)
(Apple support with someone that has the same problem)
Macbook Pro 13′ has an Intel HD Graphics 4000. which is not a very good GPU. It’s not even it’s own discrete graphics card. and performance will suck on it especially since the screen is such a high resolution. Unfortunately this is not upgradeable on a laptop. If you’ve bought the highest end MBP you certainly do have a decent discrete graphics card, but laptops are made to save power and prolong battery life rather than high performance gaming.
I suggest at the very least you turn down all graphics to low if you want to keep it at that resolution. The MBP doesn’t really have great cooling so you’d have to keep it on a good surface.
I’ve managed to make my 2010 13′ MBP run Dota 2 fine by just turning all specs to the lowest possible.
You should also note that the same game runs better on Windows than on OSX with exactly the same specs, so if you can, stick with running it on Windows.

The solution is to sell the MBP or not use it for gaming. They are designed to look good, last long and perform well for office use.

first, on screenshots Windows 8, instead of OS X is shown
secondly it has the discrete video card GT 750M, and here generally hd4000? it is possible compulsorily to force to work only GT 750 in Nvidia driver settings
to restrict productivity and thereby and heating in settings of power supply set “energy regime of economy” values it will reduce notebook productivity
as specify in the Nvidia settings power supply mode “adaptive”
the best option to sell it and to buy the normal PC
