I've done a bunch of testing under load, but I foolishly forgot to note the temperature my 17" MBP's Core Duo idles at before installing the firmware.

So... if anybody hasn't updated their firmware yet, could you take a quick look at the processor core temperature and see what it is when the computer is on but under very light load (say, just typing)?

I'm seeing a more-or-less consistent 51C with no noticible increase in fan noise (25C room), and I'm PRETTY sure I was seeing closer to 57C at idle before... but I can't remember!
