I am hovering between 125-140 for my normal use at the CPU, 105-125 for the heatsink and northbridge, and low-mid 90s for the base. My fan runs consistently betwen 1995-2002rpm. I've never had it shut down due to thermal issues but I was just curious as this is my baby and I am paranoid even with the shut down circuitry and if it is getting close to that point, I would turn it off prior to that happening.
Have you guys with the overheating checked to see how much dust buildup is on the exhaust fan? That's one issue I've seen with other laptops although I have no idea how it is laid out in your comps.
Kind of off topic but I had an issue with my MBP that was my fault, resulted in damage, and voided the warranty. Apple fixed everything free of charge and reenacted the warranty, despite having absolutely no obligation whatsoever to do any of this; this was a Godsend because I was completing my master's and I was so broke that I couldn't afford food, let alone computer repair costs. A few months earlier Dell wanted to charge me $150 for a new keyboard (on my older laptop) even though the one that had broke was defective. Since Apple repaired my MBP, we have gotten a: iMac, iPad, 2 iPhone 3GS's, 2 iPhone 4's, 2nd gen MBA, couple iPods, and probably some other stuff I missed. We haven't bought a single Dell product.
