It seems to me that my Macbook Pro may be running on the warm side, from what I've read about other C2D Macbook Pros.
I will have to double check my light load temps, but right now While I'm typing this in Firefox and Running Handbrake to encode a DVD my computer temp according to smcfancontrol is at 158 F with a fan speed of about 4,500.
Is this normal, seems kind of warm to me.
Also is there a way to report temps in Dashboard?

Thanks!

Usually 40-60C idle and 60-80C full load. 158F is 70C so that's within the norm.
