I wonder why my MBP late 2011 getting so hot. I just run skype, google chrome browser and utorrent but then my cpu temperature increase to 84 degree celcius! i've using smc fan control and also additional cooling pad. why why why.. what is my best solution... 😟

When you are using the MBP, is it on line power or battery power? If you open Launchpad, Utilities, Activity Monitor and keep that open when you are using the MBP, how much load is it showing on the cpu?
If you are using very heavy graphic intensive material it will not only use full line power but also some battery power if the line current is not enough. That can cause a lot of heat to be generated.
mostly i'm using line power. i can't remember the load showing but i guess it affected with the environment temperature. because in my country nowadays is hot and the outside temperature is up until 34 degree celcius. if it is about graphic, i just open google and skype video call.. is it too high for MBP?
A good way to tell how much load is to open the Activity Monitor as I said and watch the load you are placing on the cpu while doing your skype and other work. See how how the load is on the system.
Skype video calling is extremely graphics-intensive, and if you have any web page open that has Flash content on it, so is that. Either or both will jack the temperature of your machine right up. That said, 84C is well within the safe operating temperature range for your machine's CPU, and is no cause for worry.
oh i see. the critical temperature for CPU is within what range?
Your MBP will shut down for its own protection before it leaves a safe CPU core temperature range. That happens at approximately 100C.
thank you eww! but it is still not good if everytime the temperature is up too 85 degrees right..?
85C is safe. Stop worrying.
