    purchased may 2009 17' MBP....

    according to SMCfancontrol while browsing the internet, watching a video in VLC and encoding some video im running at 180*F or warmer. This seems to be entirely too hot compared to what some people are suggesting. Should i be worried?

    That's 80C. No, its quite hot, but it isn't REALLY hot. Watching videos sometimes makes Macs hot.

    Don't worry about it!

    Cheers!

    You are fine, you really don't have anything to worry about, its when the computer is reaching up to about 100c that you should start to get cautious but even then, the computers are designed to shut themselves down, when they are in danger of getting too hot. When I do CPU intensive stuff, my machine gets up to 85-90c and I really just don't worry about it.

    If you want to have a cooler machine though, you could get yourself one of those cooling pads.
