Hi,

I, like a lot of other people am having problems with the fan going nuts even if the CPU temperature is only around 50degrees celcius. Right now I just unplugged the charger and the fans immediately decreased to around 2500 rpm. Im going to do a bit more testing on this but right now I have a feeling, at least in my case, that the fan issue might be a problem with the charger/charging.

Any thoughts ?

The fans do seem to 'go nutz' on this design

Mine does, all of them most likely do, and I imagine it has to be this way.


I don't hear any noise

But then again, I'm a bit deaf, probably :eek:

Living in a really hot and humid country (Philippines) and running the Air at 52C currently, the fans are at 3700rpm with CPU loads reflecting 8 and 12%. Not bad.
