Reasonable M1 MBP Operating Temperatures?

Hardware

What should I expect for a normal operating temperature for a 14" M1 MBP? I am not stressing the machine at all - I do have a bunch of Safari tabs open, but other than that it’s Apple Music, Pages, Mail, basic productivity “stuff.” (Activity Monitor not reporting anything less than 80% idle for CPU.)

I have noticed my home office getting a little warm, so I downloaded iStat Menus, and it is reporting CPU temp of 44C, GPU 88C, fans running 2200rpm.

Is that normal? I’m more curious than concerned, but if there’s anything to be concerned about, I’d like to know…

Thanks!

The GPU temps are too high if you’re not running anything special. If you solve that, the fan should stop having to run.

Sigh, it appears there was a bit of an id10t / pebkac error involved on my part.

The MBP seems to be operating within normal, non-toasty parameters.
