Good advise needed!

My MP 1.1 runs the PSU fan at 2800 rpm. No idea what to do.

This is the HW info

This is the iStat pic with the fan info

Have you tried to reset the SMC controller?

Perhaps it's trying to stay warm? Ambient temp = 12 C. Brrr! 😉

Yeah, I'd do an SMC reset first to deal with fan freakouts, just because it's a simple step. Also, can you use the vertical view or iStat Menus to see if any PSU temps sensors are broken/reading funny? I think it will run the PSU fan at full as a precaution if it starts getting funny numbers from those. (An SMC reset might fix that too, who knows)
