Noisy fan is on a lot,....

[hohohong]

Fan keeps turning on,... even though activity monitor show 90% idle?

This happens when watch movie HD trailer and continue for about 5 min after i finished watching. Then it faded away.

And it becomes hot,....

Hmmm,.... my uMB is a lot quieter and cooler,.....

Have you tried taking a look at the temperatures using iStat or the like?

The MBA has relatively poor cooling (compared to most laptops), so it tends to suffer from thermal issues quite a bit -- it's not uncommon to hear the fans quite frequently.

Mine is running hot and fan is going crazy as well. Happened after 10.5.7 update. Anyone has a fix?

Anyone found a fix for this yet, my revB, 1.8ghz/128ssd fan is going often (too much) as well....

My MBA is still behaving just about the same way after 10.5.7. update
