[Alexjones]

Is this normal? I am running lion in closed lid mode. At what temp should i start worrying? Thats 72 degrees Celsius

2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200
8x Double-Layer SuperDrive
MBP 15" HR Glossy WS Display

Normal for flash! Use clicktoflash to block ads etc and it helps with YouTube as well.

A Mac will shut down at ~100oC by itself. But not even flash should be that bad.

That's rather low compared to some folks.

I'd say it's in the range of normal the second you plug in an external LCD.
My 2011 quad 2.3GHz i7, hi-res/AG, 8GB, same machine as yours except for AG is sitting at 75*C right at the moment with chrome + 20 tabs, misc other apps, 88% idle. Leave clamshell mode and unplug the display, what does it read then?

Perfectly normal, nothing to see here, move along.

Those temperatures are normal, just be careful using the closed lid mode running for an extended period of time. Some of the heat from the CPU dissipates through the keyboard, and it could damage the LCD if it gets too hot.

If you want, you can use smcfancontrol to ramp up the fan speed a little bit and keep everything a cooler.

I keep the shell open about a half an inch. Just high enough to keep the air flowing, But low enough to keep it in clamshell mode.

Ok good, then you have nothing to worry about
