The output of the fan status files you get with the applesmc driver would be interesting. Maybe there is just a higher minimum speed since the update. Here are the contents of my fan status files: $ for i in /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_* ; do echo -n "$i: " ; cat $i ; done /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_actual_speed: 1497 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_manual: 0 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_maximum_speed: 5500 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_minimum_speed: 1500 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_safe_speed: 1200 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_target_speed: 1500 This is an old Mac mini Core Duo with 1,66 GHz.
