Hi,
I've just bought a new MacBook, and been thoroughly enjoying using it for many things, but since last week the fan has been on practically non-stop. Of course it eventually stops when I put it to sleep, but within a minute or two of use it's back on again. This is a problem if I want to use it to record audio, and as a music workstation. I'm thinking of taking it back while the warranty is still valid, but I'd rather not now that I have all the things I want installed on it. My iBook's fan didn't come on nearly as much, and I used it the same amount. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. |

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. the fans are always on, when CPU load is minimal they don't spin very fast and it should be slightly audible check activity monitor (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor) if the CPU load is high, that's the reason the fans a spinning fast. see this for a possible resolution.... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473 -------------------- |
