Hi folks, i just got my new MBP 15" and the heat it generates kind of scare me a bit. From iStat measurements, it is very often around 75 degree Celcius (167 F) and as soon as i do some batch processing with Adobe Lightroom (witch i do a lot) it goes to 90 degree C (194 degrees F) Enough to cook an egg! :eek:
The fans are running like a Boeing 747
Anything wrong? Anything i should or could do?

This is an example of my iStat reading while doing batch processing with lightroom(in celcius and F):

Battery= 30˚C / 86˚F
CPU = 88˚C / 190˚F
CPU Heatsink = 51˚C / 125˚F
Enclosure = 32˚C / 90˚F
GPU = 57˚C / 134˚F
GPU Diode = 65˚C / 149˚F
Heatsink B = 50˚C / 122˚F
Mem controller = 46˚C / 115˚F

THANKS!
