The title says most of it. I'm running 10.6.4 on a late 2008 MBP with bootcamp 3.1. This is a relatively recent issue, I've only noticed it in the past month or two.

How about when you're in OS X? Do the fans still ramp up when the machine is put under load? The fans should operate the same when in Windows 7 since they're controlled by heat sensors not the operating system. I know when I run a game in Windows 7, I can hear the fans begin to speed up until more cooling takes effect and then they slow down. Same as when I'm in Snow Leopard. I also have BC 3.1 installed.

Regards.
