MBP fan speed stuck at 2000rpm?

[npriess]

Hi,

No matter what I do, the fan speed is stuck at 2000rpm and won't drop below even if there is minimal cpu load.
Is there something wrong?

I'm assuming you already reset the SMC for the MacBook Pro?

2000rpm is the base speed..

Around 2000 rpm is perfectly normal. It might increase if you're doing intensive work, but that's where they usually stay.

A while ago, the fan speed would not exceed 1000 rpm when the cpu load was very little.

Anyway, how do I reset fan speed settings?

You don't need to do anything with fan settings. Your Mac will manage the fans as it needs. It monitors temperatures and adjusts the fans when it needs to.

Not always, on some Macs the SMC simply doesn't work. If when your gaming or doing intensive tasks you can see the CPU getting around 90C (use iStat to check) and the fans still havn't come on, then install Fan Control 1.2 and set the upper to 81C and the lower threshold to 60C and the base speed to 2000rpm

Enjoy!
