how hot should my macbook pro run while in clamshell mode?
and also while open screen?

just doing regular web surfing?

according to my widget, it says my main heatsink is running at 120 degrees farenheit while in clamshell mode. Isn't that too hot? how do i resolve this?

thanks
 
120 °F is nothing! I can get at least 140 °F at full load in my iMac. My mini hit 190 °F once too!
