[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1584801, member: 135495"] It's a white 20-inch Late 2006 (other specs at bottom), and lately the fan noise is noticeable. Not huge, it is not going crazy, but used to be not heard at all. Fan is running around 870 rpm with a core temp at 53 degrees C. I'm just typing emails and stuff; processors are sitting at a quite low % I *think* the fan used to sit more like 600 rpm? Maybe I'm getting confused with another machine I had to put smcFanControl on. This really bugs me-it's not the end of the world, but my house can be very quiet and one of the reasons I loved these machines was silent fans. Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Graphics ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB Serial Number W8728178VUW Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) [/QUOTE]
