I had the same happen. Also well, my keyboard repeat rate was really slow. Idid another reboot and the problems disappeared.

Hope you experience the same.

Do you guys have Flip4Mac installed? If so, that's your problem.

Without even using it?

Probably, I am going to delete it and see what happens.

Where do you even look to see what speed the fan is running at?

your fans shouldn't hit 6200rpm when surfing safari.
mine stays at 2500rpm unless i watch some hd movies.

Open activity monitor (spotlight it — should be in utilities), and order the list by CPU % (highest first).

That way you can see which processes are using the most CPU cycles. If anyone is excessively high (80/90%), then you will get the fans.

Check it is Safari causing the problem first — it probably is but it may be something else.

I'm having the same problem. And when the fans ramp up to 6000+, even when I shut down every single application, it continues to stay at 6000+.

I'm using a 1.8 model with the HDD, not SSD

Try to uninstall flip4mac. i did that according to Maui19 advice. The fan doesn't go up to 6000+ till now.

This is the first time i've heard of flip4mac... so I don't think that's the problem for me.
