Fan spinning in maximum speed

Hello ,
let me know , is it normal fan spinning in maximum speed continually when playing games ?
Thanks .

Ive been doing some research on your gpu friend, ypur gpu component is not what we would consider gaming certifide, and also seeing as how your product is 4 years into its life cycle we can expect it to react the way it is now (my opinion) you may correct me if im wrong.
Anyway if at all possible delet drivers and software from system, be sure to download the newest whql drivers from AMD and also on there site the have a recomended way for you to do so, that should minize the driver store from taking on any misconfigurations from before. As a reference on the AMD site it should be along the lines of installing new drivers and deletings drivers, read through them both to be sure, hopefully it should help you out a bit but hope for best and expect the worse.
Time to put her to bed and get a new gaming campanion bro.
Good luck.

When SLEEP is selected manually the fan spins at maximum speed non-stop

Hi,
I have HP Pavilion Elite HPE-180t PC, WIndows 7, Home Premioum, 64 bits.
Occasionally, I put the PC into sleep mode manually if I am finished with my work. Here are the steps I do:
1. Press Start
2. On the Shut down drop down list select Sleep
3. PC turns the fan speed up for a few seconds and then goes to sleep with the power button changing color from blue to yellow.
But once in a while on the third step the fan speed is cranked up to maximum (quite noisy), the button goes from blue to yellow, but the fan keeps running at maximum speed non-stop.
In these situations pressing any key on the keyboard doesn't affect this state i.e. the fan keeps running, and the PC is unresponsive to any keyboard or mouse input.
The only way I found to remedy this case is to press and hold down the power button until the fan stops and the PC shuts down completely.
Any suggestions on how to avoid the freeze up while going to sleep mode manually?

Hi,
I have the same motherboard in my HP e9280t. Open up your PC and use a can of compressed air and blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink, power supply, video card and system fans.
Open up the RUN window and enter: msinfo32
If msinfo32 doesn't show the bios level then you will have to boot into computer setup and find the bios level.
Look for the bios level. Bios version 5.29 is the latest and I have been running that level for a long time without issues.

New mac 21,5, fan run at maximum speed, + sleep down every 12 secondes

Hi,
On a new Imac ( 2 weeks), suddenly fans run at maximum speed after you turn it on.
I tried to reset SMC as described on article TS1433 without success.
I've got another problem, when my imac sleep down, it wakes up by itself and goes to sleep every 12 seconds. If I reboot, it stay on until the next sleep down.
Any idea ??
Bruno

Sounds like a candidate for return. My new 21.5 has worked flawlessly 99.9% of the brief time I've had it (since early November).
The one time I had a problem with it, the fan went into hyperdrive and the noise was deafening (and I'm hard of hearing). I don't remember doing anything wild at the time. I'm not sure I even had BootCamp up with Win7 at that time.
Anyway, I turned the computer off, waited a couple of minutes and then turned it back on and it was back to quiet mode again. Never happened again (at least with me in the room).
Couldn't be happier with the computer! Besides all the OS X stuff, it runs Win 7 in BootCamp probably as well as any Windows computer and maybe even better.

IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into si...

IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into single-user mode in 10.4.3
Model: 1.6GHz iMac G5 with 10.4.3
I updated my iMac to 10.4.3, then booted into single-user mode to do some cleaning at the command-line level. I know, as others have discovered, that in single-user mode, the thermal control is off, so the fan gradually increases up to maximum speed and stays there until you reboot or go into multi-user mode. Well, I have never experienced this one before, and I'm freaking out about it... I went into single-user mood one reboot after upgrading to 10.4.3, and after all the println white text lines ended, the [1] fan shot up to maximum speed in 0.35 seconds (it sounded like a high-pitched DJ record scratch during the time interval), [2] the fan stayed at maximum speed when I left single-user mode, and [3] I cannot get the fan to slow itself! I rebooted, shut down, and even tried booting off the Tiger CD, but the instant I hit the power button to turn on the iMac, the fans blast up to maximum speed. They shut down when I put the iMac to Sleep, but then they blast up again in full when it wakes up. I checked my settings in the Energy Saver preference pane, and I have the performance set to "Reduced," which is the lowest possible.
I searched to see if anyone else had this problem or if the KBase had any info, but I didn't see any. I'm thinking about erasing and installing my stuff on the iMac, even though I just did that today.
Again, this maximum speed fan problem is freaking me out. It just started when I booted into single-user mode in OS X 10.4.3. I have booted into single-user mode before (10.4.2) and have not experienced this fan issue. I repeat, the fans blast up to maximum speed after pressing the power switch to turn on the computer, so they do not even wait for the Apple logo to show up on the screen before blasting away. How can I get these fans to not do this anymore?!

for the last few months my 20" 1.8GHz Imac has been very noisy - fans seem to run constantly and noisily. It might have been when updating to Tiger but I was never sure. Today, on the advice of a chat tech, I opened the case and reset the SMU to hopefully cure another problem. I noticed that all the air vents, intake and expel ones, were all quite heavily clogged up - not blocked but clogged with dust and fluff. I cleared it away mainly by blowing but also with a hand held hoover held close by. The exposed fan still as a lot of muck on it but greatly reduced and all the vents are completely clear. Having put everything back together again the iMac has been runnning quietly all day. May have been the SMU reset but equally might just be that the computer couldn'tdraw in cool air, circulate it or expel it properly and the fans had to work overtime to cope. Worth checking if you have noisy fans running at speed constantly.

Regardless of temperature fans always at maximum speed

Hey,
I have a 'Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display'
It was working fine until yesterday (I've had it 11 months) when the fans decided to just stick to max spin rate (5900 odd) i tried the SMC reset. It did nothing. Reformatted the whole Macbook, even while reformatting the fans were going at maximum.. still the same problem. Did a hardware test and it just returned a SATA problem which i googled and most people said you can ignore it.
It was left off all night and when i came to use it the next day it was actually okay (Was at or around 3000) for about 30 minutes now it's just back to maximum again. Even if i have no programs open and the activity monitor shows CPU load has like 99% idle CPU the fans still run at maximum. It's okay for the most part besides the noise until it gets to a point where the whole computer slows to a crawl. Everything is delayed by like 10-15 seconds even if i have no programs open. The only way i've found to fix that is to shut it down for 5m or so, after booting it again fans still stay at maximum speed but it's usable again.
I have a genius appointment Monday but is there anything else i can try between now and then? I've just got a feeling they are gonna make me pay for any problem even though it's still in Warranty because it was dropped 4 months or so ago but the problems only started yesterday. I did actually go to Apple when it was dropped but i couldn't afford the screen replacement but i still feel like the will pin any fault on me causing it as opposed to anything else.
Thanks.

It was looked over and they said the only thing was the screen. Why would a temperature sensor be fine for 4 months after it supposodely broke?

Tecra R850 - sometimes OS stuclocks-up, fans spin on full speed

I got a R850 and complete random the laptop lockups. When it locks up fans begin to spin full speed and windows is locked up. I need to poweroff the laptop and start again.
This can happen three times on a evening, but it can also occur only ones a week.
Its complete random.

On this virtual way it is not easy to say what happen exactly.
Every new notebook is delivered with clean preinstalled OS and something like this should not happen. Later when you start to install updates or own applications it can happen that some background application blocks the system.
In my opinion either you must check preinstalled stuff, processes that run in the background to see which one can be responsible for this, or you must install recovery image again and check how it works with factory settings.

IMac Fans running at maximum speed all the time

Hi Appleians!
I have an iMac 20inch with 8GB RAM and its an i3 intel processor. I purchased it from a friend of mine who had replaced the original hard drive with another that amounts to a terabyte. Now the fans are running at full speed all the time making it way too noisy to work with. It however works smoothly with no problems except the fans are irritating, it does not heat up though. Anyone with a solution? I tried resseting the SMC it didnt work.
`Oh and the computer is running on Mavericks.
Please help!

G5 startup: screens stay dark & drive (or fans) spinning at high speed

Good morning!
I'm new to the forum and I apologize if this has been answered in the past. I'm running a G5 and when I tried to start it, immediately the fans or drives start going into overtime. They are spinning very fast and will not slow down. In addition, the screens stay black. I made sure the G5 was not trying to recognize a disc in the tray, but it is empty. I've also disconnected all my equipment (firewire and USB)to make sure there was no "interference" with my external gear. I've tried to restart several times by holding down the startup button for 5 seconds, let the drives/fans stop spinning and then restarting, but the same thing happens. I've also tried to start in the SafeMode by holding down the Shift key, but again nothing changed. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Bart

I see there are many references to this problem. I've worked with apple care on at least three occasions. I've learned to apply each of the recommendations listed in the responses. When it happened again this morning, I was able to restart the computer with a combination of unplugging the power, re-seating the ram, resetting the smc and nvram. My question is, has anyone learned of a permanent fix for this problem? I would love to listen to whatever is recommended. Thanks.

Airport Extreme AC A1521 fans spin at full speed

Hey all,
I recently purchased an Airport Extreme AC A1521 (6th generation) and I've run into a serious issue with it. After updating the firmware to 7.7.3, the AE's fans run at full blast after it boots up when I plug it in. The fans are incredibly loud, and they do not slow down at all the entire time the AE is powered on. I have tried using different outlets, as well as different power cords, but no luck. I even reset the AE to its factory default settings after holding down the reset button while plugging the device in. Nothing has worked. The status light on the front is a solid amber. I am uncertain if this is a result of the firmware update, which did complete successfully and was uninterrupted, or if the AE is simply defective.
Any advice on the matter would be most appreciated!

It is defective.. return to the store and have another go.. they are not the greatest piece of hardware apple have ever made.

HP 2510p fans spin non-stop on system resume

I was having difficulty with my hp 2510p laptop fans spinning at maximum after system resume. This makes for a undesirably noisy laptop.
Searching online I found users of redhat/fedora experiencing the same issues. It seems like is a kernel issue that on the link was fixed with the update to 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64. I am running kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH and still experience this issue. If others have this problem, the workaround they posted about changing the values of `/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device*/cur_state` from 1 to 0 worked for me (did not test on system resume but manually changing them decreased the fans to a normal level).
Is there a better fix to this issue? As my kernel version is more up-to-date than the one in which the redhad/fedora users experienced the correction, I would think I am missing a more simple step that should correct this. Creating a script to revert these values back to 0 seems like a bit of a hack rather than actually addressing the problem.

It could be logic board, or graphics card, or PSU.......it could be a corrupt OS.

GT70-2OC-408US Fan goes to max speed when idle

Just as the title says. The main fan goes to maximum speed when the computer is left idle overnight. Putting the computer in to sleep mode or restarting the machine solves the issue but that is quite annoying. This happened on both the stock install of windows 7 home edition and after I did a full wipe and re-install of windows 7 ultimate. I have looked at the bios update section and there are 2 bios updates for windows 7 but I do not know which one to use and there isn't much documentation with on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi I have a similar problem, the fan goes full speed from time to time when idle or when using youtube, facebook, etc. And the FAN will never slowdown again until i turn off the laptop or put it to sleep. What I have noticed is that the integrated video card runs hotter that the 770m discrete card not sure if that's the one triggering the fan at full speed.
I found a post about a fan controller for a msi gt70 2od laptop and it works, it truly modifies the fan speed, but not sure how good that is, because if the fan is being activated because of the card getting hotter and the fan is set to 10 or 20% it may not be enough to cool it down and keep the temperature at safe levels at least while leaving the laptop on all night long unattended.
hxxp://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/718530-official-msi-gt70-2od-owners-lounge.html (Dave Pearson's GT70 2OD FAN CONTROL v1.2, and photos of this can be seen)
BTW the fan started to work at full speed after I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bits and continue to work this way even when I went back to Windows Home Premium 64 bits. Also a 8GB ram module was added to this laptop.
If you were able to solve this issue please post the solution here, so everybody is aware on how to solve this issue.

Just bought a Macbook pro 2011. The Fan spins up very slowly

Hi, I just bought a new MBP 2011 2.2 GHZ i7 (15'') and I'm noticing a strange behavior and I would like to ask if this is normal.
For work I end up making very stressful compilations with GCC using all the 8 logical cores at maximum.
I notice that when I start one of these intesive workloads the temperature immediatly spikes from the levels seen during normal usage (50 C) to 90+ C degrees.
The fan doesn't kick in immediatly, but rises slowly the speed level in a gentle manner. In 7-8 seconds on heavy workloads the temperature may even reach 98 degrees at which point the CPU starts throttling (I notice the frequence decrease) and I start hearing the Fan pumping up RPMs. After few seconds the fan is at maximum speed and the temperature averages around 90 C.
This happens under OSX , but I tried also under Linux and the result is the same.
What I perceive is like if the Fan , in order to make an "elegant" sound while rising up the speed it rises slowly instead of jumping up to maximum when the temperature would call for it.
Is this considered normal?
I already tried resetting both SMC and the PRAM. The behavior didn't change.

I am having the same problem.

MacBook 2007: 104°C and fan beyond maximum speed!

Hello.
2 years ago I bought this MacBook Late 2007 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo model. It wasn't new though it worked like it should. I use my MacBook nearly every day for at least 6 hours a day. It has OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 running nicely on my SSD, so there's no complaining about it's speed as it still just feels new.
It has one big problem though. As I use my MacBook for watching videos, listening to music and gaming etc., my MacBook always runs very hot (~80-100°C). This became a standard for the last few months. When I turn on my MacBook it's processor about 15°C hotter than room temperature. Though it only warms up when actually doing something, this normally lasts for a minute because I'll start using it immediately. Right now I'm typing this question, my MacBook is 58°C. Safari has 2 tabs open, and iTunes is running in the background. The fan is running at 4500rp/m. This is the lowest temperature I can achieve while using the MacBook. When I first bought this MacBook it would run at 30°C while using it. Now it's around 60°C.
When it's beyond 60°C the fans will start running to their maximum speed, which is 6200rp/m. However this month I started to notice something that I consider dangerous. My Core 2 Duo reaches 104°C while watching a 480p video! That's 1 degree away from turning off. I know that MacBooks are designed to run at these temperatures, but actually acieving this temperature on watching a video or playing a two-dimensional game is just rediculous.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the thermal paste, and though I'm specialized in these kind of things, I don't want to screw up the MacBook. It runs super fast because of the SSD. Buying me a new MacBook would be a total loss of money since it still performs very well.
I've tried tools like SMCFanControl. Of course it doesn't help because any CPU will warm up when doing intensive tasks. I don't find it helpful.
Lastly, the fan's maximum speed is officially 6200rp/m. Mine reaches 7600rp/m (this is the fan that came with my MacBook. Not a custom one.) and after a short period of time it shuts off. After a second or two it'll turn on again. When this happens it's at 104°C.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!.

I have essentially the same computer and I'm wondering if perhaps your fan is failing? That could explain some of the odd behaviors and readings you're seeing!
My computer typically runs at 70C when I'm using it (I'll have Chrome open with several tabs, at least one of which has a lot of Flash content) and the fan runs around 6200 rpm.
Streaming videos always brings up the temperature to levels similar to what you're seeing - and I believe it's always done that. I can't recall a time when it didn't.
Could you give the link for some of the videos you watch that are causing the fan speed and temperature to increase? I'll try them on my machine and see if it exhibits the same behavior.
Also, keep in mind that many sites that stream videos or have games on them use Adobe's Flash plugin, which is terrible on OS X. It will ramp up the CPU usage to an incredible degree, which in turn means the temperature and fan speed will go up.

Custom Hardware Fan Control - problem if speed pin not connected?

Hi There,
I am planing to install a hardware fan control (poti) to my MacPro 1.1 rear fan. (because I have a defective northbridge temperature sensor and the fan is running at maximum speed... so i thought of slowing it down with a fan control for the pci slots)
I read that the pinning of the Fan is: Gnd, 12V, Speed, Control Pin (analog Voltage)
So when i would attach a fan control (just a poti) between some +5v and the Control Pin I think I should be able to control the fan manualy - am i right?
But then the speed signal is not the speed the mac pro fan control software think of... so would it be a problem e.g. if i disconnect the speed pin from the mainboard fan connector?
what would happen then? is the mac pro powering up the other fans for some kind of failsafe?
Or have you other suggestions how I can lower the speed of the rear fan manually?
thanks in advance,
Stefan

2010 2.8 Special $2119 - and throw in 6-core 3.3GHz yourself for $590
Take a look at the project some have undertaken to go with water block.
Send the motherboard in to have a 'skilled' electrician? repair the board perhaps.
4 fans, 3 under the control of SMCFAnControl utility. Maybe disable the one fan and make up for it with your own fan and running the others efficiently.
There are also VGA copper coolers.
FBDIMMs bleed heat: maybe the RAM fan cooler kit in there to deal with large source of heat. New higher density DIMMs are better made and few DIMMs = less heat even if 4GB.
Use ice packs, dry ice and liquid nitrogen to super cool :-)

MBP 13-inch 2010 overheats and fan spins continuously under Lion

Hi,
I have a MBP 13-inch 2010 laptop, recently updated with Lion 10.7.1.
I noticed tonight, under normal condition with Safari (with two tabs running, no Flash) and iTunes running, the laptop overheats and the fan spins continuously. This is a video that I tool that demonstrate the problem: http://db.tt/37Gicoi

If the computer isn't shutting itself down for its own protection, it isn't overheating. It will run quite hot if it's working hard, which can happen without your being aware of it except through the symptoms you mention.
Check to make sure nothing is chewing up a high percentage of processor cycles in the background, running your battery down, generating lots of heat, and speeding the fans up:
