MBP CPU reaching 69c while idle...

Hey guys. So just moments ago I was cruizing the web, and my CPU temp jumped to 69 celcius... So I then closed my browser to find that my machine still insisted upon overheating, meaning that it maintained that same temp. I then pulled charging cable out, and it cooled back down to 40c (what it's at currently).

I figure that charging the computer will cause some heat, but didn't ever expect it to reach 69c, while completely idle (while charging).

I have a brand new MBP 2.5 ghz machine, of which recently has been siting with the charger in 24/7. I however do shut down completely at night (with charger still in).

1) do I have an unusual overheating problem?
2) should I unplug charger whenever it is done charging (even if it doesn't necessarily overheat)?

Thanks guys

 

No I didn't, but since i was using the computer, wouldn't it wait until it was completely idle to do soomething like that? Do you think it was even related to the power being plugged in?

Thanks the the help man

 

Alright so it did it again, only it went to 80c this time. The fans didn't even key in, so they stuck at around 2000rpm, so I manually adjusted them to 6000rpm temporarily, which helped... I had a few more apps open, but I wasn't really even using any of them (including Maya, which would heat the computer if I was using it). And also to note I wasn't charging my computer at the time. All this was about 20 minutes ago. I have since quit all the apps besides Firefox (of course), and it's currently at 60c (with fans back down to "default" 2000rpm)



Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Edit: another thing I just noticed is that the numbers for the cpu usage don't add up properly. Down at the bottom of the image it says that its using something close to 90% of the CPU (user and system combined), while above in the list is shows that not even 25% of the CPU is being used. hmm, what's that all about?
