[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1624333, member: 24098"] As to the high heat issues.... I would recommend popping off the bottom panel. Hold the fan blades captive and hit them with short quick blasts of compressed air. This should clear the exhaust paths and hopefully drive the temps down overall. If this doesn't help at all, I would personally look at the way the thermal compound was installed between the heatsink and the chips it attaches to. Also, I would do away with SMCFanControl. The fans are thermostatically controlled by the SMC, so forcing the fans to subvert the SMC is counter-productive and will ultimately shorten the fan lifespan. [/QUOTE]
