late 2013 15 inch MBP Temp question (again)

i'm using 15 inch rmbp desktop replacement, power apple tb display, , lg 34 inch display.

noticed laptop getting pretty warm installed istat , see temps doing normal operations (browsing, itunes, no flash, document editing), temps range 51 celsius 65 celsius.

if unplug , use laptop, temps drop ~35 celsius.

when connected screens, it's on 12 south hirise, lid closed, better air circulation.

i'm not worried @ 60 celsius because i've read, it's designed run hot 100 celsius when under heavy load.

i'm concerned temps go 30 degrees celsius when it's plugged displays lid closed. lid open while connected displays doesn't help, gets warmer (gfx card under heavier load suppose)

normal? okay long term? should consider refurb mac pro?
