I won't blame ATI in my case... Both fans turn exactly at the same speed (CPU and GPU fan, and I assume they are the same model), and I wasn't using the graphics card very intensively... I got my Macbook Pro in April 2006, the fan started making noise in August 2006, but only intermittently. The fan stopped working around October 2006 (=no noise anymore, and applesmc reporting 0 for fan1_current_speed... but I couldn't send my Macbook Pro in warranty as I badly needed it), I used it for abt 2 months with one fan working (throttling down the CPU and the GPU, and putting a laptop cooler below it...)... Got it repaired in December 2006.
