Hi
I bought my macbook pro 13" retina right before Christmas. Just a few days after I got it I started having issues with the fan.
The machine can run smoothly for hours and then the fan suddenly starts like a jet-engine. This usually happens when the temp according to smcFanControl and Temperature Gauge is between 45-50C (113-120F) so i dont think the reason is overheating. I also dont think the reason is high CPU because I usually dont run any high performance programs.
Usually the fan runs at about 2000RPM then it jumps to 7-8000 for a few seconds and then down to 0 and up again. This can continue for many minutes and its quite loud. While this is happening i usually hear some "clicking" sounds from the left side of the machine. Almost like same sound as connection to modem internet years ago, but not as loud.
I took the machine to my local Mac dealer and they took it in for a service. They didnt find anything and said my fan worked normally under stress. I had to pay about $80 for it...
Anyone know what this can be and how to fix it? I have tried to reset SMC without any luck.
Thanks
