Hight temperature after El Capitan 10.11.2

Hello,

I have a late 2011 macbook pro 15 with 2,4 GHz i7 16 Gb ram.

Few days ago I decided to reset my mac making a fresh and new installation of El Capitan (without restore the previous Backup).

Everything goes ok But i noticed that the CPU Temperature switched from a previous 35 - 45 C° before the reset (using Safari) to 55 - 60 C° after the reset (always just using safari )

I tried to reset the SMC but nothing has changed.

Any Ideas? I Have to start worrying?

Thank you & sorry for my english 😀

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), late 2011

Hi Swalsz,
I understand that you are have some concerns about the temperature on your MacBook Pro. Let's go over some information to either fix or clear this up.
I know that if you use a third party utility that it is not registering the right temperature. But if you feel that you need to figure out what is going on, you might want to start with looking at Activity Monitor. This will help you isolate apps that may be using a lot of CPU processing. Take a look at the articles below for more details about maintaining a proper temperature on your MacBook Pro and how to deal with apps that are not working properly
