Fan after fireware going WAY too fast

[Raptura]

After the firmware update earlier in the day, no matter what I do the right fan, most likely the GPU I'm guessing is going at insane speeds and it is so loud I can't do anything, even at full speaker the music is muffled cause of the fan.



even after leaving it off for nearly 10 hours, I come home and immediately after I turn it on the fan goes insane.

anything I can do to fix this?

btw, I downloaded smcfancontrol and it says my macbook is 52 Celcius and going nearly 4000rpm a minute

What are you running on your computer? Also with FanControl, you can set the fan speeds.

I have only Adium running as we speak, as the macbook pro starts up the fan is consistently loud.
I set the fan speeds to the default and nothing is working.

It's at 3600 rpm as we speak.

It's ridiculously loud.

O RLY?


Open Activity Monitor, set the view to "All Processes" and sort by CPU use? Does anything show up there?
