Max CPU temperature for MacBook Pro?

I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I was wondering what the normal and maximum CPU temperatures are for this processor. I have a monitoring widget, and my CPU usually runs at about 51*C, or 131*F. Is this normal? I don't want to destroy my processor on a $1200 computer.

Also, it would be helpful to know the normal and maximum temperatures for things like HD Macintosh..., Enclosure Base, Enclosure Base 2, Enclosure Base 3, Enclosure Base 4, Heatsink B, and Northbridge. I am more interested in the CPU temperatures, but the others would be extremely helpful.

P.S. Temperatures in Celsius would be preferred.

    What is your CPU doing when it's at 131?

    Mine runs about 52 normally with the warmest being while it's resting on my legs or playing games at 60-67.

    If you think it's overheating you need to take it in to the Apple store.

    Source(s): I have the same model MacBook Pro.
