Have you inspected ambient temperature sensor via HWMonitor?

My fan is running very loud

My fan is running very loud...Not sure what the problem is..Does anyone have any suggestions?

If it is your fan, the cpu is working very hard.
1. check with Applications/utilities/Activity Monitor, <all processes> , click the %cpu column, what process is running more than 50%?
2. install the widget iStatPro (free), clik the Dashboard: iStatPro will let you see the CPU usage, the temperatures, and the fanspeeds.
If there is a process that is "eating" the cpu, in activity monitor you can quit that process. Check in System Preferences/Accounts Login Items tab, if it is there, delete it there. Restart the system.

My Macbook Fan Is Running Very Loud...

My fan has been running very loud for the past week and I'm not sure whats wrong with it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If the fan is working all the time, it looks like a sensor problem.
Run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Plug the MacBook Pro to its charger, choose your language, tick the box to run an extended test and start the test. If at the end of the test you see an error, copy it here.
It's probable that this is a sensor problem, but if the problem doesn't happen during startup, it would be a process which is consuming your CPU. Open Activity Monitor, select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar, and order processes by CPU. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU than the others?

DM3 (New 2010 model) - FAN NOISE - Constantly Running LOUD

This is the first HP to use "Cool Sense" technology. Yes, it is cool but at the expense of FAN NOISE. The fan runs constantly even when Thermal Assistant is set to "Quietest." Just an open browser window at 0-10% cpu makes the fan run all the time! PLEASE READ my Notes below.
After monitoring the temps, the fan still needlessly runs on medium speed even after the temperatures drop (CoreTemp gives [core#0 28C & core#1 37C] at idle powersaver). Anyone can comment on the 9C difference?
I believe hp still need to tweak the "Thermal Assistant" fan controller or raise the temperature thresholds. PLEASE HELP - VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM
Note: Latest F.08 bios & Turned OFF "Fan Always On." Computer is NEW (no dust). Used on Tabletop. Used both powersaver mode & balanced.

Try doing a SMC AND PRAM reset by:
1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.

When I shutdown the fan turns on very loud and fast.. Quiet during running

Had my imac about 2 months now its the late 2012 27" iMac
When running its fine... Hardly makes a noise, however today i shut it down and about 5 seconds after it shuts down the fans kick in really loud this never happened before
If I put the computer in sleep mode it does not start fans only when it's shut down... Only way to stop it is to turn it off at the wall
I have run AHT and no problems
I have reset both SMC and PRAM neither fixed it.. Any ideas??

anyone?
someone please help!! lol

Can't use FaceTime because fan noise is so loud

I have my Macbook Pro connected to a Thunderbolt display and when I'm using them, I have the Macbook lid closed and I tuck it under the display. However, for a few weeks now, when I try to use FaceTime, the fan kicks on so loudly that the person I'm talking to can't hear me. This setup used to work just fine, now it doesn't.
It's not just FaceTime that causes the fan to kick in, it's really when I play video of any kind. It requires a lot of processing as we all know, but I'd like to figure out why it used to not be a problem but now it is and I'm just not sure where to start. I have plenty of ventilation around my computer and I've closed all other running apps but it's never made a bit of difference.
I've searched the forums here a lot and found a lot about killing processes and such, but that seems to be addressing siutations in which the fan runs a lot for no apparent reason. For me, it's very clear that it happens when I do anything involving video.
I saw a suggestion to reset the SMC which I could certainly do, but it seems like that shouldn't be the first thing I try.
Can anybody recommend anything else before I try something like that?
Thanks

That's correct. It is banned by law in KSA, UAE and Qatar.

I turned on my 2011 IMac and the fan is running very loud. What is the problem?

Please help me figure out why my fan is running so loud after turning it on tonight. I have shut it down and turned it on again and rebooted it and it is very loud.
Thank you.

timfrombrisbane and ScuseMe are right.
Apple engineers say, that to reset SMC, you follow the procedure outlined in KBase Article HT1379.
How much you've posted to the forums is irrelevant rkaufmann87. You're not one of the engineers who created the product. The engineers who created the product, say to follow the steps outlined in that article HT1379.
The procedure you listed is incorrect and will not work to reset SMC on an iMac. Read the article. It's there in black and white, with very clear steps. As the article states, you have to unplug the power cable from the back of the machine, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in, then wait 5 seconds before turning it on. The article says nothing about holding the power button for 5 seconds.
People come in here, for computer science advice. I cited my source, for this scientific procedure. My source, is an article from the computer scientists who created the iMac product. I'm also an Apple certified repair technician - so I listen to what the Apple engineers say.
Can you cite your *official* source for your incorrect procedure? Didn't think so.

Updated bios now fan makes a VERY LOUD NOISE!

Hi I hope you can help because HP can't!
I have a ML115 G5
I updated my bios to the latest one and now the case fan is on constant full spin. I've tried down grading to all the other available bios's but the fan still stays on full, constant spin. I've tried windows and dos flashers. I loaded the defult values in the bios and nothing changes.
~What can I do?
It use to just be full spin for the first 30 seconds but now its on all the time. It give me a headache.
Please can you help?
Thanks
Jamie

You'll have to take it in.
With the original box, this isn't too bad if you don't have to walk far.
If it's too big and heavy, you could perhaps meet an Apple Store employee at the entrance and have them remove it from your car (assuming you drive to the store).

Fan is blowing very loud and hard

First time ever! I can actually feel the air blowing from behind the machine and boy is it loud...What gives? What should I do?

Thanks
1. Click the black Apple on the top left of your screen. Select 'About This Mac' What does it say for 'Processor'? If the word 'Intel' is there then you can proceed. If not, let us know.
2. System Management Controller. It controls power flow and fan speed.

MacBook Pro fans stay on, very loud

Today the fans on my MacBook Pro started being on all the time. Sounds loud. This has never happened before. I've had it about two years. The fans start up the moment I turn the power on. I have tried: Shutting down, leaving it off for a few minutes, then starting up again several times. Activity monitor shows System is using about 1% and user is using about 12% of CPU capacity. I repaired permissions, verified hard drive and checked for viruses using Sophos. What is cauising the fans to stay on and loud all the time and be so loud?

There are a lot of things that may cause the fans to work at maximum speed, from an OS X process to a hardware issue.
If you have checked there are not any processes that are taking a lot of your CPU, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 This is the part that manages the fan speed.
If it does not work, run Apple Hardware Test. Plug the MacBook to the charger, hold Option (Alt) and D keys and run Apple Hardware Test. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test. If you see an error at the end of the test, copy it here

Very loud fan noise

This has probably been dealt with, I have a 2007 intel iMac. It's been running fine but this week the fan has become very loud. Any ideas?

This can probably be reset by doing a SMC reset. Here is what to do on your iMac:
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
• Report back results to us.

MacBook fan running very loudly

I have been having issues with my MacBook overheating and causing the fan to run very loudly (so loudly I can't listen to music or watch videos on it very well). I have had the motherboard replaced twice this year alone by Apple and I still have coverage till November of this year. They told me if I keep it on a flat surface (like a desk), the problem shouldn't keep happening. More times than none, I only have one application running like Safari or Firefox with only one page open and still the computer is incredibly loud. Any suggestions? I really do not want to take it out to a retail store again unless I can get a new MacBook out of it since it'll be the third time the motherboard has been replaced.

Hi Brandon: This is a shot in the dark, but check out the troubleshooting tips in the Apple article below.

Keyboard creating loud fan noise after coffee spill

After a coffee spill my keyboard has been creating my fans to run very loudly. The temp. is still pretty normal at 40C. When I have the computer on and disconnect the keyboard, the fans return to normal. I've tried cleaning everything inside and removing the fans and putting them back in. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.

Go to the Apple Store after you have made an appointment with the Genius bar. Liquids are the kiss of death to keyboards. Sorry to give the bad news.
Ciao.

Is your machine under the store replacement policy period?
If it is, contact them and ask for a replacement.
If it isn't, run the hardware test:
