    Hey guys. I've got a 2 month old MacBook Pro, just a little concerned about temperature. I've always been around 35-45 celsius when I don't have much stuff open, but the last day or so the temperature is constantly around 49-57 so I'm concerned that maybe it has something to do with the whole GPU issue and that it might be a precursor to a GPU failure. I might just be overly concerned but the temperature is consistently quite high so I'm a little worried. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Assuming this happens on a hard, flat surface..... What does iStat report for enclosure temp, cpu temp and hdd temp? That should help isolate your problem to gpu or something else as the big contributor to your increase.

    My MBP always has been having some issues with heat, I would suggest a cooling pad if you are ever are putting a software disc in or running a lot of programs.
