[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1334616, member: 71075"] According to the screen captures you attached (thanks for that), nothing is using a lot of your CPU. In fact, the process using up the most is "kernel_task" which is the operating system kernel (think of it as analogous to the brain). That task has to be running or you don't have an operational operating system ;). If the fans are running high with that kind of CPU usage, it's not the CPU causing it. Have you installed any fan control software by any chance? [/QUOTE]
