Yeah I know that, been using Fan Control 1.2 but decided to check how the MBP would behave without it, so uninstalled. Was just wondering if this behaviour is normal.
After I installed the last update...Itunes and something else, my fans work properly now. Once the Temp hits 76-78 degrees...the fans start to move higher..........i was watching videos over a long period of time and the fans got up to 4000 to keep the temp around 70-72 degrees. This was in bed....so, it was not a flat surface.
you can add me to the list had a shutdown today because i was hitting over 110 degrees celsius during wow,even after an smc reset,i m going to call apple on monday
by the way i got the late 2008 unibody 15 inch pro, 2.8

I think you guys should re-do the thermal paste again. Apple's thermal paste hasn't been keen at all with the past systems and certainly not even right now with the newer systems.
I redid my thermal paste, properly this time and my temps never reach above 95 deg C. I constantly do "Folding@home" on this 17" macbook pro so having folding running nearly 24/7 for a week and the system never reaching above 95 deg C is amazing. Its not in a freezer either, its just in my room with very low air flow (hottest room in the house)
