Exhaust RPMs UP!

[nampramos]

Hi guys!

Lately the exhaust rpms have been higher than usual, even when I´m not doing anything with the laptop.
Until now it was very rare that it would go up from the normal-and-quiet 2000rpm but now I can normally always hear the fan working.
Can it be dust accumulation inside or something more technical is going on?

Thanks!

No ideas guys?

There must be a process which is using a large chunk of your CPU. It would help if you could you post a screen shot of activity monitor, with CPU selected and sorted with highest first.

Please tell me how to check that.

Please tell me how to check that.

Open up activity monitor in your utilities folder, make sure you are viewing "all processes" and sort by CPU.
