My new Glassbook is running kind of hot, so I was wondering what some of the other temperature of others are. Right now it's plugged in and charging. I'm multitasking and playing music, but no big apps. The temps are:

CPA 145 F
Heatsink A 142 F
Heatsink B 128 F
Northbridge 130 F
HD 95

Are these normal? I heard it runs cool but this seems hot...

From what I can tell, it's not that hot at all. I just checked one of the machines we had in the shop. It had been sitting just running some music through iTunes and it was just under your temps... but very very close.

Just looking at the numbers, it seemed high to me. But for the aluminum macbooks... it appears to be normal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Not hot for a Mac, but for a laptop PC those temps is very unusual. I don't like that macbook got so hot temps when doing "nothing", the fan must go on just surfing youtube :S

I'm getting around 67c just for surfing internet (firefox), listen music (itune) and instant message (Adium).

The RPM fan is running around 2000 ish.

I think CPU temp (65ish C) is running too high. Anyone else?

I don't know why my Macbook Alu seems hotter than normal...
I often run Safari, itune, skype and Y!M...
at first it run cool but now it's always about 10 degree hotter than before...
Should I go to Apple store to have them check it out for me?

If you are doing anything with flash things are going to get extra toasty. Either that or games/video encoding.
