So, your MacBook pro can be hot (well known issue at Apple). I do recommend to install the SMC fan controller under MacOS X, add 500 RPM to the fans and reboot. The fan's speed will be kept by the SMC untill the next poweroff.[/b] > >What's with this 500 RPM setting? The fans are always going to spin at 500RPM? > >THANKS
I read that as: see what the current speed is and add an extra 500 to it, eg if it was runing at say 3000rpm, then set it to 3500rpm. The default is probably lower to reduce battery drain and keep things quiet. regards, -glenn -- Glenn Satchell mailto:glenn.satchell at uniq.com.au | Miss 9: What do you Uniq Advances Pty Ltd http://www.uniq.com.au | do at work Dad?
