ok cool..they kicked in before at lower tempatures, i was just kinda worried..whats a normal temp for it?
it was in sleep for about 45 minutes and right now all im doing is sitting at my desk with this website open. Thats why im worried lol. Its currently at 79 Celsius and i only have one safari window open and only one tab in it.
My macbook sits at around 45 degrees C... CPU around 50-55.The fan is around 2000.
When installing software (Xcode) the cpu went up to 80 and fans to 2600..
This is while using it lying on my bed, so the rear vent is not getting the best air flow.
Dont know if this info helps in any way but thought I would share and let you compare.

well i downloaded fan control and i decided i didnt want it any longer because even after turning up the thresholds it was revving the fans to much. so i followed the uninstall instructions and now my fans still wont slow down
how do i reset everything and make my system go back to normal?

Dude seriously dont install Fan control systems, they mess up your PC, well I guess we learnt the hard way
Heres what ya do:
First, Uninstall Fan Control as in drag it to the trash
Then Go to Activity monitor and Force Quit/Kill the "FanControlDaemon" activity
Thirdly, go to System (Macintosh HD if ur new to Mac) then Library folder and in the folder named "StartupApplications" delete Fan Control
Fourthly, go System/Preferancepane and delete Fan Control
Then restart ur computer
If that doesnt work then There is also a reset patch, I dont know where it is located on the vast array of what we call the Internet but follow these steps and if dont work ill Post the Reset link if I can find it
Keep me updated on it
