Use Activity Monitor to Kill Runaway Processes
Use Activity Monitor on your Mac
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity.

Right now, i am only using Safari, everything else is closed, and the temperature is 70º C! Should be 40~50, thats is normal, and i know it because i use other mac at my job, and never gets higher of 60º C, and that is a mini mac with i5, 4GB Ram and hard drive, i have i7, 16GB Ram and SSD.

Read the first link about using AM to uncover excessive activity by certain processes. That is your likely problem, and it should appear in AM if you have selected All Processes from the View menu.
