I performed a seach but could not fine any good info all the temp max's Graphics processor. Only for the processor.

My processors temp doesn't really seem to be a concern. I am more worried about the graphics processor temp.


These are the max temp numbers while playing WOW.




Here is a screen shot of WOW running.




Does anyone believe I should not use the Powerbook 12" for playing WOW?

The computer seems fine running final cut pro with 1.25g of ram rendering HD. (I know I should have G5 but I am waiting on the core duo 2 processor to be aviable in the laptop)

I would be more worried about your hard drive and optical drive! My HDD has never gone beyond 30C, even when i was running my MB with the stock 512MB, which meant constant page-in/page-outs. HDD's shouldn't hit that sorta temperature IMO.

My HD temp is usually 40C or under. And I have 2GBs of RAM. Probably because I have a Powerbook.

Difficult to give any advice when you don't list which 12" PB you have and how much RAM, how much empty HD space, etc.

Main thing to do is simply to buy a small desk fan, elevate the rear of the 12" using gum erasers or whatever, and blow air across yourself and the PB while gaming (or anything processor intensive...) It'll lower your temps drastically.

Summer room temps are also a contributing factor.

Those stats look normal. Play on.

Yes, notebook components are made to withstand higher temperatures than desktop ones. That's how you can fry an egg on your macbook . Don't worry about it. These things are built to last.
