MacBook Pro A1126 fans goes 'crazy'
My MacBook Pro A1126 fan makes a lot of noise when I use it for intense gaming for hours,
My Mac specs
OS - Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 & Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit ( Boot Camp )
Processor - 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory - 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM ( Originally 2 GB, upgraded to 4 GB )
Graphics - NVIDIA GeFore 8600M GT 128 MB
How do I stop the fan noise or at least reduce the noise,by the way it's from the left fan & there are two fans in the MacBook Pro...
Thanks in advance!
Games use a lot of CPU/GPU resources and that creates a lot of heat The fans are supposed to spin faster in order to dissipate that heat. It sounds that what you are experiencing is normal.
If one fan is significantly louder than the other, Courcoul's advice should be taken.
Since you have a 6 year old MBP, it may be a good idea to open it up and see if there is dust, dirt and debris inside that should be cleaned out. That could have a very positive affect in the cooling process.
Ciao.

my macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated it should i update to lion?
No, this problem should be solved.
The MBP shuts down when too hot, to protect itself. First see if it is a process running astray: start Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) choose <all processes> and click the %CPU column: are there processes that are using more than 50% cpu power? If yes click it and quit it, and tell us which one. -
I purchased a 13.3" MacBook Pro in February of 2010. About a month later, I began to notice that certain applications that don't require much, Safari, MSWord, iTunes, were causing the fans to kick in at crazy speeds and the base of the computer was too hot to touch. Is there a patch or fiz for this, or should I return my macbook for a new?

Mac Os 10.6.6 update start the fans goes crazy
Hi to all
Some months ago (almost a year from now) my mac start to become hot after only a few minutes it started up and the fan goes crazy but I never realize why. I made some search on the internet but the only answer I found was using some software to reduce fan speed. It didn't work. I run the Hardware test but nothing strange. I also took my macbook to an apple certified repair center but they told me that nothing was wrong. I also ask to another repair center but same thing. So I left my macbook as it was with this super fan noise all the time. A quite disturbing thing but there was no solution and for what I'm doing my machine is ok so why change it? (It was the only solution they gave me)
Last day my hd broke down so I had to replace it. I took my macbook pro a1211 model to an apple repair center they change the hd with a new one.
So I reinstall everything for the beginning. I took my snow leopard dvd formatted the new hd, installed the os, iWork 2008, iLife 2008, Mamp, CSS Edit, Espresso, Pixelmator and few other application such as Firefox, Camino, Etc...
I use the macbook with mac os 10.6, because I had to finish some work, and with my big surprise for two days the machine was super silent no fans, no hot body ..... nothing. I never reboot it and still no fans and hot body wow.
Today I wanted to install the developer kit with ios 4.2 and so I had to update the Mac os x to version 10.6.6 as soon as I made the update after the reboot the fans start again to go like crazy and after 15 minutes of work the macbook body become very hot.
The question is why?
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance
GianfrancoHI R C-R.
The apps i've installed are just a few. Espresso, CSS Edit, MAMP, TextWrangler,Firefox, Camino, Chrome, Opera,BetterZip, Stuffit Expander, Pixelmator, 1Password, Dropbox, Xslimmer, VLC, CyberDuck, littlesnitch, iworks, iLife, wacom tablet driver.
Nothing more. All the software is updated.
Here the data but as you can see nothing strange but fans are on at the maximum speed!

MacBook Pro's fans start running at high speed when the computer is asleep. Normal?
The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?
This is not normal. See if a SMC reset solves the problem:

My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
One of my MacBook Pro's fans is running at full speed
Out of the blue today, my 2011 MacBook Pro started fans went mental when I awoke if from it's sleep. They started running at full speed, far louder than I've ever heard them before. I searched through other discussions and it suggested I try an SMC reset. I performed one of these with no success.
I then opened smcFanControl and noticed that my leftside fan was running at 7000rpm+ and the rightside fan was running at normal speed 2000rpm. It randomly spools on and off high speed and I cannot find any fixes or similar problems online. Can anyone suggest a fix for this or should I be taking it to a repairer?
FYI my logic board was only replaced in April under warranty so could it be faulty?Hi andyBall_uk
SMC fan control measures temp also. Currently running at 47*C as you can see in the screenshot below. I tried overriding the fan speeds...works for the right fan but not the left one so it appears only the left fan has the fault.
The weird thing is, when you press your finger down anywhere on the left speaker next to the built-in keyboard, the fan slows back down to normal speed, but when you let go it speeds back up again. I might open it up in the morning to see if any of the connections are loose, because it seems weird that this happens with a small amount of pressure applied to the body. Also of you tilt the macbook it sometimes slows back down to normal speed (but sometimes stays at high speed). I will let you know how I go. Thanks for your suggestion/s -

There doesn't seem to be any pattern. It looks like I may have to get it repaired?

Is it normal to hear my Macbook Pro's fan?
i have a early 2011 MBP , and never really heard the fan until about this past week. Im not very technical but i installed iStat Pro . my CPU is about 41 , the fans are about 1998 rpms, and they stay around that area. Also i dont run a lot of intensive things at once only mail and firefox most of the time.
Likely because I have so many peripherals hanging off my MacBook Pro, my fans usually run at around 4000rpms, but I don't actually 'hear' them until (like now) they rev up to 5500-6000rpms. When I'm not using my MBP as a 'desk' model, my fans will usually run in the 2000-2200rpm range and I defintely can't hear them then.
Your fan speeds are normal but you shouldn't be able to actually hear hem - you may have some dust and debris clogging the fans. There are various methods to clean the fans and exhausts that can be found by Googling.

Choose the method for:

If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store to have it checked.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting the System Management Control to see if the fan noise ceases. Also, make sure there are no obstructions to the fan as well as the portable is on a flat surface when in use.

My 13 in MacBook Pro screen randomly goes black. It was purchased in 2010. It's a 10.6.8. It started just recently. The only thing I can think of is is that my 7 year old son played an online game with the computer. I did check the "hot corners" settings and that is not the issue. When the screen goes black, I generally end of foce shutting it down with the power button.
