I just got a MBA Rev B HDD and it is awesome! However the fans are always running around 6200. I installed coolbook, smcfancontrol, and istat and everything is set to default cause I have no idea how to use them. They all indicate that the CPU is 45-50c, which I thought was pretty good. But the fan is always at 6200.... any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

after turning off the MBA and then restarting the fans are at 3000 (smcfancontrol) then after 3 minutes of youtube, they are back to 6200 and temp was 72. Stopped the video, temps went down to 40-45, but fans stayed at 6200!! Also, what's acceptable as far as heat goes? 72c after 3 minutes of youtube seems hot!
thanks for the reply. How hot is too hot? and for how long? I played a movie off of my external HD, the CPU stayed around 50, but the fans still kicked up to 6200.
The fan runs depending on the GPU/Ambient temperature. Anything under 100 deg C is fine.
The Fans kick up with anyflash ad also, My SSD is very quiet and lucked out that the fans only stay at 2500RPM most of the time.
