Hot laptop?
I recently upgraded iStat nano, a widget, and it reports on internal 
temperatures and fan speeds, MacBook Pro fans running at around 2000rpm and 
various components reported.

Due to hot to touch case temperatures I've placed it on a dual fan laptop base, 

So armed with this information, how hot should cpus, gpu diodes and gpus be 
allowed to get?

Hi Janis,

What version is the modem? This was a problem with some of the USB Modems.
Check to see if the Modem requires a firmware update. You will need a Windows 
computer to update the firmware on it.

If you fan is running high, means the CPU & Temp are running extremely high, 
which isn't healthy for your MacBook.

Cheers,
