[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1775576, member: 46727"] Could be that you have a defective temperature sensor on the logic board driving the fan high. However, it is normal for the fan to rev up if the CPU is working hard like playing games or video processing. I'm assuming you're monitoring the temperatures? Anyway, give [URL="https://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control"]Macs Fan Control[/URL] a try to see if that helps to tame the high RPMs but be careful you don't allow your machine to overheat as that can cause damage.
