The temps will always vary a bit, so i doubt there is any need to worry. Are you using iStat? How hot is it running?

Mine has been at 140. Someone else told me theirs has been between 150-180. I was worried, but now I'm over it. Once I took it into apple, the genius told me not to worry until the computer shuts itself down.
From what I have read, it is generally normal for dual cores to have 1 core run hotter than the other.
sooo how do i know at what temp my cores are at? is that the heatsink ones? i thought those were for the ram, not that it's very important but i am very curious
