Is it normal to have a MBP's temp at ~50? My MBP runs very hot and I thought the fans were broken because there's no air blowing out the back and no fan noise as I used to hear in my older MBP so I installed macs fan control
Apparently, the fans are running mostly at around ~1200rpm and the temps are 50-55c, is this normal? should I modify the settings?
I can even feel the heat just from using the keyboard.
As you have indicated that your ambient room temperature is easily 35 degrees C, possibly up to 42 degrees C - then I do not find it abnormal that the temperature of your MacBook Pro is 50 degrees C.
The CPU in your MacBook Pro is not hurt by the fact that the temperature is 50 degrees C.
