As stated many times before on the forum you shouldn't worry too much about temperatures. The computer knows when it is getting too hot and will adjust the fans automatically. The computer will also shut down if it gets to extreme temps.

I would only worry if your computer was shutting down constantly because of high temps.

how do you see the temp of your computer?

Go to the apple website, browse under widgets, then download iStat pro or iStat nano. Access it via dashboard. You can do this via your dock or using F4 on the new alum macbooks. Hope this helps.

My temps are very similar to yours when just web browsing. Doesn't this seem high, it i under 60 degrees ambient temp in here. It seems like my fan runs a lot more than it used to. Also battery life seems worse, and i just put an Intel X25-M SSD in here to try and improve some of these things not make it worse.

On my MPB, I usually see 41-51 on both the CPU and GPU during my usual work (internet, email, etc.) There's usually about a 10 degree rise when I use more graphics-intensive stuff. That's all with the 9400. I've seen about a 10 degree rise across the board when using the 9600, including the CPU temp.

On my Alu MBP doing day to day stuff I normally sit between 30 and 45'C. When I'm video editing and doing motion graphics I hit 60'C.
