Is there anything I should look at if my MBP has suddenly started running much warmer than normal? SMC Fan Control and iStat Pro has my cores running at 75* and 76* with the fans set at 5000 rpms, one Safari window open, and Skype, AOL IM, and iChat widows minimized. Other than that, I dont' have any processes running and so it doesn't seem like the CPU's should be getting that hot. It only started running that much warmer than normal yesterday, so a sudden change in operating temp has me concerned. There's nothing blocking the vents, so unless the thermal paste on my processors has suddenly evaporated, I don't know what could be causing this.
Got a tip for us?

Check activity monitor and see if the printer process is running. That seems to be cause of a lot of peoples CPU running hotter than normal. hehe

I noticed this on my Air. Check the CPU cycles...for me Safari was pegged at 100%. I closed Safari and the fans started to slow and the CPUs cooled off. Could be a Safari issue with flash-content using all the CPU cycles.
Just my 2 cents.
