Mine is usually around 57-59 degrees. This is with Firefox running, iTunes, Mail, and preview all going.
Full Load Temps?
I m doing a heavy encoding and now it's up to 76 degrees Celsius
. What is the threshold where I should become worried?

That's normal. I'd say about 100 is the threshold. You'll know when it reaches it though because your whole computer should shut off if the cpu becomes too hot.
My SR MBP is at a constant 73+ Cel and my fans are always on. I have to shut the screen for things to cool off or shut it down. Even then within 5 min it's heating up again. I've had apps crash here and there and my computer, just a few days ago, just shut itself off. My screen brightness and keyboard brightness will also shift up & down all by itself. Time to go in and get the thermal past looked at I think.
So I was just reading another thread on Temps and someone suggested looking at all processes in Activity Monitor to see if something was running causing the problems. I haven't rebooted for a couple of weeks and have seen my temp issue for almost as long. Turns out I had a bad Terminal process running which was causing my problems. My temp is now down to around 58c and my fans are down to less than 3500 RPM (from over 6000 RPM). Just thought that tip might help others..

Why are my fans on full blast? It does this a lot. Been 6000rpm for about 10 minutes with nothing open.
reset your pram.
My SR MBP runs about 50C under normal usage load. (Azureus, Firefox, Netnewswire, Adium + other random stuff)
It gets to 98C steady doing H.264 encodes. I'm tempted to take it apart and fix the thermal paste but 98C is still (just) within spec and I dont see any CPU throttling/GPU artifacting/evidence of thermal issues at that temp so if it ain't broke....

what do you mean by average temperature -- the avg temp of the CPU or the avg temp of all the components shown on istat pro? i'll give my cpu's average temperature for now. it's around 44 degrees celcius. It used to be 48 degrees celcius on 10.5.3 (which made my MBP hotter).

Mine too has remained about the same....52-56 for my SR MBP.....Hanbrake on the other hand sends those numbers upwards
How will resetting PRAM solve the problem of my fans coming on full blast..? There isn't any parameters stored there that would determine when the fans come on and at what speed from what I can see.
