i7 Temprature - Is mine too hot?

[BigWil254]

Sorry, I know there are multiple posts about this, but I was wondering if my MBP is a lemon and needs to be repaired.

Currently, my CPU's temp is 124 degrees C. Im not running too many programs but the discrete graphics are on because im using NetNewsWire.

If this out of the ordinary and a cause for concern? Recommendations?

Thanks!

On Apples FAQ website, it says that if it goes above over 105 degrees C, that you should contact them because that is definitely not normal. Time to get that exchange bro.

Last night my i7 cpu was at 180F and it was buring my legs off. All i was doing was running skype! normal?

Thats about what my i7 runs at. All I do is skype it usually stays around 160-170F skypin.

He was confusing celsius and fahrenheit. There's nothing wrong with his MBP.

Mine was doing the same. I think it is because Skype, for some reason, uses the discrete graphics.

As of this moment mine is running at a very cool 31c/88f. Fans are at a constant 2k rpm. Have Safari, Adium, and 3G Watcher (AT&T wireless card app) running. Very nice.
