[QUOTE="martyp, post: 915179, member: 61183"] Yeah, had the exact same problem with mine. I personally think the 2.7GHz was a step to far for the chips and even with the water cooling they ran HOT! Best solution I found was to go into System Perferences, Energy Saver, Processor and select 'Reduced'. Fans spun down and stayed down after that, but doing CPU heavy work took longer. Highest would be the next setting but I found the fans just stayed constantly noisy. Worst was Automatic, one minute it was silent, click iTunes and all **** breaks loose then back to silence again.... [/QUOTE]
