Temperature will vary depending upon the type and number of applications that you are using. CPU/GPU can vary from about 40°c± to well over 90°c±. The MBP is designed to cope with these extremes. In those rare instances where the temperatures exceed the design limits, internal sensors will shut down the MBP before it comits Hari Kari.


Skype, games, video are common CPU/GPU heat producers. The body of the MBP is part of the cooling system and will get very warm but that is a means of dissipating the internal heat.


If you are engaged in prolonged periods of time with such applications, consider getting a cooling pad. I do not recommend and fan control devices. I have faith in the Apple design engineers in regards to fan operation.
