2011 MBP Fans Question

[Irock619]

Is it normal for the fans to be off by a few RPM's? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am new to the Mac world 😱

Off from what?
Their idle speed is 200RPM, though it fluctuates around those 2000RPM by 10 to 20 RPM.

Also have a look here to learn more about Mac OS X, the battery and malware:

My fans are always around 2000 rpm, they are usually off anywhere from 5-10 rpm difference.

Why would you expect them to be identical? Two different fans cooling two different parts.

Didn't I mention that I was new to Macs? I guess you answered my question though, thanks! 😱
