I have a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, Intel), and the CPU temperature when the computer is idle, is around 70° Celsius:
Is this a normal temperature for the idle status, or is this temperature too high?

Looks high for idle and fans are running fast. Did you check if they are clogged up with dust? – lx07 Nov 29 '21 at 14:54

How can I do that? – user1580348 Dec 04 '21 at 19:57

Defining what I mean by "idle": The Mac is running a Parallels VM (Windows 10) which at the moment of measurement is idle. – user1580348 Dec 04 '21 at 20:00

You could take the lower case off and have a look. See https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+16-Inch+2019+Battery+Replacement/135185 for instructions. – lx07 Dec 05 '21 at 08:12

I am afraid of taking such a high risk. – user1580348 Dec 07 '21 at 18:37
