Hi

My MBP (1.86 first gen) was not exactly cool before I installed SL. But now it gets hot for nothing right after boot it is 50+C and just launching Safari gets it to the low 60s. Fans around 1800 at the start and 2500 with Safari.
Running a HD video on CBS gets it to mid 60s, 66-67 with fans at 3800 rpm.

I have reset the SMC, helped slightly ( initially after cold start it was 53-54) all the numbers above is with the charger attached and a fully charged battery.

For those of you with the same MBP (I have 2 gig RAM btw) have you experienced similar temperature increase with your machine after installing SL?

Anything you would suggest to get the temp down?

Many thanks!
