| Whenever I play ROBLOX on my MacBook Air, the fan comes on really loud and overheats. How can I fix this? |

ROBLOX is a game that uses a special 3D engine created by the ROBLOX IT engineers made themselves. 3D games tend to make the fan spin alot quicker than with 2D games. The main processer of the computer (AKA the brain) named "Central Processing Unit" or "C.P.U" is a chip that manages how the computer functions. Now the reason why it "heats" is because it is processing a 3D game with many polygons, around thousands. And the CPU must process everything that's happening. The only way to "fix" it is to make sure if the CPU was applied with thermal paste or a "heatsink".
I hope this helps. |

| Adding to the information, it is also possible the MacBook Air is cheaply made causing it to overheat as it happened with other cheaper laptop made. |

MacBook Air is well-made, but MacBooks are not the typical gaming laptops. They really can't run many games that well, including ROBLOX. A normal laptop will run precisely faster than a MacBook Air.

| It depends on the graphics card, the processor and the ram of the computer itself that will cause it to overheat. It is also possible the fan didn't manage to apply the cool air to the processor. |

This happens to me to. I don't know how to because my MacBook Air just stops the fan then overheats.
Morelth, out. |
