[QUOTE="cammerz, post: 1426803, member: 256338"] Well for the rest of duration I've owned the macbook the fan has been slightly loud when streaming but that's just normal, recently it has been considerably louder even overpowering the sound of quieter videos. I don't think it sounds too different, sometimes theres sort of an electronic whir as well but most of the time it's just louder than usual. I've tried SMC reset, PRAM reset, hardware test and fancontrol software but none of those have effected it, fancontrol software didn't even work I think it's only from MBP models. I can only think there might be a dust buildup but maybe 6 months ago I had apple replace the bottom plastic panel because over time from heating it had started to deform and I would have thought apple may have cleaned it out there and then. I've checked activity monitor when streaming a video and usually around 60% of the CPU is idle. [/QUOTE]
