My MBP 17" CoreDuo 2.16ghz came back from having the Logic Board replaced at the weekend. All is well except that now the fans run at high speed all the time.
I have installed SMCFanControl, and the current readings are 45 F / 113 C and the fans are running at 5500 rpm. I took the machine back to the Apple store but when I was there the fans didn't go above 3000rpm (typical huh?). It's nice that the case is now a lot cooler than it used to be but the fans seem very loud to me.
I guess I should also mention...
I've tried Fan Control but it seems to be reading the speed of the fans incorrectly. It agrees with SMCFanControl over the temperature but it thinks the fans are running at 1500rpm.
The SMC version running is 1.5f10.
The processor is sat at less than 10% for all tasks running.
The question is, is this normal? I am not running anything very heavy duty at the moment. Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt
