OK, so I use the istat pro widget to check on my stats. What's weird is that the fans only seem to react to CPU activity, not temperature. If I am playing a game, for example, the fans go on max, as they should. But if I'm not on any app that uses a lot of resources, the fans remain at normal speed; even if my computer is cooking at 70 degrees!

The biggest problem is the airport card, which heats up to 65-70 no matter what (could this be because I'm on bit-torrent always?), yet the fans barely respond.
