Q: Macbook Pro 13" Overheating

Macbook seems to be overheating.  The hot spot is in the back right corner.  The fan seem to be running and responds to rpm changes.  I downloaded smc fan control which reported the temperature to be 172*F.  I bumped the fan speed to 3200 rpm and the temperature dropped to 162*.  Then I ran the fan speed to 4000 rpm and the temperature dropped to 142*.  All of this started a couple of days ago without heavy usage.  I usually only check email or browse the internet and the like, no gaming.  Any thoughts?
