[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 455635, member: 24098"] The fans are preset and controlled by the system's own internal thermostats. If there is a need to spool the fans up, the system will do it on its own. Using fan control software is fine, but running your fans constantly will add up to unnecessary wear and result in shorter service life. There is a known defect in some MacBooks where excessive thermal compound is applied to certain chips on the system, resulting in inefficient heat transfer to the thermal management components. If you believe that your system is running abnormally warm, I would take it up with Apple and have them check it. [/QUOTE]
