17" MBP left heat pipe at 128 degrees Celcius!!!

[monty007]

I bought this laptop used. everything has been great but like my Hack, I need to know what's going on. Call me OCD but I installed iStat Menu and the Left Heat Pipe is coming in at 128 degrees Celcius. I have attached a screen shot. When I bought the laptop I immediately took it apart and VERY liberally sprayed it down with an air canister. I have also update to a 120GB Samsung SSD Pro. Everything works fine I wanted to get your opinions on this. I have found DBP's recommendation through iFixit.com to tear down (thanks for the link to the site). I'm going to take the 2 fans out and see if I can find something. Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd clean it out and also while you have it apart put some new thermal paste on things needed it.
I just did that with my two iMacs, tore apart and cleaned then applied new thermal paste on CPU and GPU heat sinks.
