Does anybody have their macbook/pros fans speed up after having Coconut battery app open for a minute or two? When I have it open, my CPU temp goes up to 150F from 125F. Anybody know what's going on?

Nope, don't have this. Try repairing permissions or simply restarting.

Now I just don't get it. It's like my MacBook has a problem Coconut Battery. It could've been that FanControl I installed from Lobotomo.com that screwed up my SMC. I'm gonnna try reseting it then..

I just reseted my MacBook's SMC and I would say it's 'OK'. With Coconut Battery on, it would continue to put stress on the CPU but the fans would reach 3500RPM and level off while trying to maintain 60C. That was based on 5 minutes of having Coconut Battery on but I wouldn't keep it on forever or as long as that.
