use istat pro accurate readings of temps , fan speeds, among other things, rather going how mac feels. intel processors used in macs designed automatically shut down prevent damage if overheat (around 100c/212f - 105c/221f, depending on processor).
unless there rare defect in mac, temps within normal operating range, considering workload being put on it. websites flash content, games , other multimedia apps put higher demand on cpu/gpu, generating more heat. normal. if you're putting high demands on system, such gaming or other multimedia tasks, expect temps rise , fans spin accordingly. it's mac doing job maintain temps within normal range.
fans on when mac on, spinning @ minimum of 2000 rpm (for mbps) or 1800 rpm (for mbas, mbs , minis). spin faster needed keep temps @ safe level. if they're spinning without increased heat, try resetting smc. pram/nvram has nothing these issues, resetting not help. also, make sure don't block vents, located @ rear, near hinge.
