Clean your laptop. Mine dropped 10-15C just by using a compressed air can on a regular schedule.

You'll need to open up the back, and blow the fans. Also hit the side ducts, and anywhere else air is supposed to be flowing.

(Aside: for me, voodoopower keeps it 10-20C cooler than without it. Unfortunately, it panics the machine every couple of days. So rather than sleeping, I try to shut it down at night. I've been planning on debugging this because superhai can't do anything without a traceback, and I never get one using his debug kext.)
