lately my macbook has been getting a bit noisy and hot the fans seem to kick on alot 3500-4500rpm range and @idle my CPU is ranging 68-75C (iStat), right now as im typing this she's at 77-80C. Functionality aside everything is pretty stable, including playing the occasional WoW.

Anyone else have any issues like this? I've booked a Genius Bar appointment just in case.
 
so ive been digging around and from the looks of it, looks like Geektools was keeping my cpu occupied. I didnt realize that it was a bit of a hog. Temp has dropped down 54C now.
