    I just installed windows on my macbook pro. I'm going to be playing some games (mostly WoW) and read that heat might be an issue. I have fan control on my osx but you can't control the fans while in windows. If I set the fans to a higher minimum than the factory settings in OSX, will that carry over to windows or do I have to do something else to make sure it won't overheat?
    Thanks

    Also what resolution did you guys use because there is no 1680x1050 resolution to choose from. Is there a way to make a custom resolution?
    thanks

    OK but when you play what resolution do you use because if you make it 1680x1050 with keeping the aspect ratio it doesn't fill the whole screen.
    Thanks
