[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1465152, member: 145676"] First thing I found is that the fan may be blocked - even though it is spinning. So Pop open the case and blow everything out with compressed air. Now what is disconcerting is if the fan is reporting 0 RPMS then you could have a sensor problem. Now I do have a MBA that seems to run the fan a lot as well. Normal - sitting on a desk seems to run 4400-6000 RPM. I put a laptop cooler at my desk and this seems to help drop the fan RPMs. Usually it run 2000-3000 now with the cooler in place (It will still hit 6k if the CPU is being hit hard) [/QUOTE]
