[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1270497, member: 24160"] You're probably going to have it run like that until Spotlight finishes it's indexing. Fresh install? Is that a clean install or an upgrade install? If not a clean install: It can also be software related. I had a Windows Home Server machine that died a while back. After I installed Lion, my fans were going full blast even after indexing. Went to check the logs and found that the WHS application I had (not compatible with Lion) was launching, not finding the server and then re-launching every 5 seconds. omg... Well, that thing got uninstalled so fast it would make your head spin. I'd suggest turning off the machine, wait until the fans quit. Restart, immediately open Activity Monitor and watch it to see what's using the CPU when the fans start up again. My clue was that it was kernel task causing the fans to run full bore. Whereupon I opened up Console and checked the logs to find my issue. [/QUOTE]
