Yikes! Turn it off and let it sit for a while. That is extremely hot. What are you doing with it?

If it makes you feel better, my Penryn MBP is running at 88*F. :)

It runs on my table everytime and yeah it gets that hot! crazy huh lol and yes i have turned it off but it still gets hot and it does it when its streaming data for youtube or when i run a SD OR HD Itunes show like the office :)
 
Check SMC and make sure that one of your fans isn't reading 0 RPMs or anything.
 
110F isn't all that hot for a computer chip under load. Are you thinking Celsius?

210F is pretty freaking out though....


No bro lol 210 fahrenheit and it just did 220 fahrenheit thats the hottest i have ever seen it get after only 40 minutes of use
