-- -- Illirik Smirnov This is a very, very common issue. Most of the time, its some PMU thing, but occasionally, it's faulty temperature readings. The low 40s C are acceptable processor temperatures; the 47C memory is strange but within reason. A DP of mine developed this issue, except the fan would just blast at random times until I shut it off. Turns out it was reporting 70C+ temperatures randomly; I wound up disassembling the thing and cleaning the fans and the like; that didn't work. I used it for a while with the fans forced to idle, but then I scrapped it for parts.
