I have finally been putting my Mac Pro through the paces and started ripping/converting some movies for the AppleTV but was astounded that the heat is getting hot, 50+ celcius in fact. The fans do remain more or less the same, so is this good?

Using Visual Hub right now. I may schedule it to run a few hours once I've ripped enough movies to see how high it can get.
 
As long as you don't exceed 62 degrees celcius, you are in the safe zone.

However, I would get some AS5, and apply it on the CPUs;)

I am not ripping apart the Mac Pro to apply thermal paste; I'm sure Apple has ample, or, enough there. My MBP has hit 70 celcius, haha!

"Ample" is a bad thing.

You need JUST ENOUGH. A VERY VERY thin layer is what is desired.

Anyways, make sure the Penryn Xeons don't exceed 62 C;)
