[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 315305, member: 17895"] If you're running something intensive then it'll go up. If I run iDVD or something it'll go up to 60C. The 'normal' speed of macbook fans at low temperature (less than 45C in my experience) is 1500RPM. If they're running faster than that, check Activity Monitor to make sure nothing is running oddly. Also, try using smcFanControl to reset the minimum to 1500 if iCyclone set it higher. It's running at 37C now because I use a laptop tray like [url=http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk/product_details.php?item_id=2795&category_id=157&category_name=Stands&PHPSESSID=403777]this one[/url].
