This is really good news to all the people that were hesitant about buying one because of the temperature. Great job Apple! :black:

re...
For those who have NEVER had whirring or "reving" as I liek to call it...
Have you left your comp on with programs running for the duration of the battery life?
Failing that plug the sucker back in once the battery runs dry and the computer is inevitably going to rev as the fans switch on to cool the the computer down.
If this still doesnt happen, then I guess you have a better made one then myself, which is quite possible. I mean if your assembling computers ALL day long, different people are bound to make or assemble better then someone else.
Just my thoughts.

I just received my MB today and when i try to update using the link i get the instructions on how to do it.It states that if update succesful then i should not see the instructions.However when i try to install i was told that i did not need this update.
Im guessing that somehow my MB that was sent on the 8th was sent with the update already installed(?)
If not how do i install this then lol.

Jesus H Crabs, you guys have hot computers. I swapped mine out because the first one was defective, and the new one runs about 50 degrees F (according to coreduotemp), (no not C)
It went as high as 66 farenheit under 100% load after it'd been on for about 12 hours.
Yes, I really do mean F. Its about 12-17celcius max.
This is a white macbook (listed in my profile specs thing) and I use a little cooler table to hold it up. I run it 12 hours a day, most of that time under load (IM, browsing, watching movies, photoshop, dreamweaver, itunes - mostly at the same time) and yes, I keep coreduotemp statistics logs if anyone wants to see them.

Maybe no one else will say it but yer comp is not running at 12c . Even my calculator runs hotter than that.Just booting from cold lying over night unsed) shows the bogstandard MB with 1 gig ram , to be running at 20c.
Id recheck yer F and C settings cause i think your seeing celsius tbh.

I'm going to call you on this one too. Your body is 35C, room temperature is between 18C and 25C. If your macbook is running at 12C, it means it's being refridgerated or you're using outside in the Arctic. I'd check again to make sure you're not mistaken. Post the logs if you like
If your logs really DO show 50F, then I'd take it in to have the sensor examined. What reported temperature do the fans come on at?
