Normal Temps for 15" SR MBP, 2.4Ghz, 7200rpm HD?

rather than start a new thread, i'll pose the same question here:
are my temps safe/okay?
on average using camino, itunes, quicksilver, and sometimes transmission i have been getting somewhere between 50C to 60C on cpuA (same with my gpu... these 2 seem to be the hottest running parts). Though, the temperature where i live has been getting hotter, so that might attribute to some degree (prior to that i was getting 40-50).
Under a heavier load I'm hitting 70C. at around a little above 70C my fans kick in big time until i am between 60 and 70, at that point they run back down to 2000 rpm.
are these numbers normal or should i be worried/contact applecare?
i would rather not mess with smcfancontrol, being that every time i try to mess with something systemeey on computers it seems to be precursor for massive **** up.

Sorry about that. Those were all Fahrenheit. No load to speak of. Silly question, I guess, but I was just curious.
those are all fine. 70°C underload and your doing really well... i hit 90°C sometimes.. enjoy your SR MBP!!!!! (i am now outdated by alot)
I echo. I've yet to see 90, but mine has gotten super hot (especially the GPU) when I'm driving my Dell 24" monitor in dual-screen mode.
wow niiice 24', ive only got a 19' elcheapo. its so clear tho best monitor ive seen ever! wats the dell like>?<< theyve gotten great reviews
I have the same machine, minus the 7,200rpm HD.
Yours seems nice and cool. Mine's usually something like:
CPU ~70C ish (158F)
GPU Diode ~ 72 to 82C (161 to 180F)
Enclosure bottom ~ 40 to 44C (104 to 111F)
I don't normally pay attention to the other stats.
MBP Temps/How to load CPU?
Ok, a dumb question...is there a program or a systematic way to load the CPU's, so I can capture the CPU temps in other than idle? Just running a bunch of programs simultaneously doesn't seem very scientific. I've seen references to some <yes null> something or another - yes, I'm sure I'm mangling the command - anyone know exactly what to do?
Thanks.

Mine is at 82C 90% load (Burning two video files on Toast) with fans at 3500 RPM. Can't hear anything from the fans!
