As ever the old adage applies it`s easier to keep a system cool, than cool-down an already hot machine down. My Retina is better behaved thermally and i just run UltraFan, AdBlock and it sits on a Rain Design Mstand. What i have observed over the years is the best solution is a combination of software, and powered cooler, on my Late 2011 15" MBP (2.4 i7) running both internal & external display`s i run Ultrafan set to 66C, AdBlock and it sits on a CoolerMaster NotePal E1 this results in a reasonably cool and quiet system. Not all apps are equal and not all have been updated for the latest CPU`s hence why some can read out different sensors UltraFan, SMC & Bresink are accurate. If you are looking at a purely monitoring application Bresink`s Temperature Monitor is by far one of the most concise. SMC FC is a great app, however although it`s recently updated, functionality is limited compared to some newer apps, equally SMC Fan Control is rock steady stable and a finished product. For me SMC is now pretty much redundant with the latest release of UltraFan having manual control of the fans RPM, and subsequently i am starting to uninstall it from my own Mac`s. At the end of the day you want to control your system temperature, not your fan rpm`s. You can use software to override Apple`s own cooling algorithm by manually taking control of fan RPM and setting up power profile presets with SMC Fan Control 2.4, or with UltraFan which allows you stipulate a preset temperature and the software will automatically raise and lower fan RPM`s to keep the system at the predefined temp, which i personally feel is a far more elegant solution.
