Greetings,
Normally my Mac temperature is around 137ºF and if it is a real hot
day, it may rise to 139º F. The fans usually stay at a constant rate.
A few days ago, a few minutes after booting my computer in the
morning, the temperature started rising above it's normal range and
rose to around 140ºF and rising, the fans kicked into overdrive.
I immediately restarted the Mac and everything returned to normal, and
remained normal.
This behavior happened again today.
Up to the first occurrence a few days ago my Mac has been rock steady.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be going on?
Do heat sensors fail?

Two fans installed behind the CPU, blowing out
