In my opinion, Apple is a bit too conservative to try to keep it's Macbooks silent. Some users have reported the MBP crashing when trying to game just upon starting up their a MBP. the fan speed doesn't ramp up fast enough resulting in a crash due to overheating.
What I did is just to adjust the graph of which it uses to ramp up the fan speed in proportion to the CPU temp. Help's keep the temps down while not keeping the fan running at a high speed all the time. So I suggest not using smcFanControl but instead look for Fan Control (a different app) to control how fast your fan speed ramps up.

from what i read in apple website,we are not advised to take out the macbook battery. Apple recommends to NEVER take out the battery,that's why now the latest version of macbook pro,they use an internal battery. maybe bcoz there's some ppl who likes to take out battery to spare the battery life cycle. I think there's something connected to the system hardware that needs the battery to be attach to the macbook.
Maybe some of heat issues caused by taking out the battery. just maybe.

But at times my laptop really hot and the fan rpm very high..

Macbook battery is quite advanced that it has it's own chip to count the charge cycle and manage it's power.
if i am not too mistaken , the era where the battery will be overcharged is over already. most of the laptop battery has it's own controller chip inside to prevent overcharging. as a result of that it is always better to put it in.

(somehow i know it won't affect battery performance but i just feel paranoid leaving the AC plug on when my MBP on sleep).. |

Has anyone's Mac gotten so hot that when you're watching a movie/online clip the the whole video and audio goes into slow motion? For me its usually about 82c. Thats the highest I've even gotten. Fans were spinning at 6200 rpm.

Nope. When that happens I start closing tabs and applications and put my mac on top of a dictionary for ventilation. Seems to solve the problem.
