hi i just purchased my 2015 13" macbook pro retina yesterday, and i just installed smcfancontrol, but most of the times it indicates 000rpm? it never happened with my 2011 macbook pro before. is it normal? or not normal? does that mean that the fans of my new macbook pro is not working?
Got a tip for us?

No one has given me a satisfactory answer, but it seems that broadwell is so efficient that at low power use levels it doesn't need any fan cooling at all.

I believe that is the case. It can be passively cooled while just doing very light internet browsing or similar. Of course the fan will kick up as soon as the CPU is being worked.
