What is your fan speed (stat pro/menu) under minimum/typical load?
mine is showing 1300rpm and I'm bit concerned that something is wrong.
I heard minimum is about 2000rpm
Its warm/hot - even with CPU <10%

That sound about right, 1200-1300 is the normal speed.

The maximum RPM is around 6200 or something like that and mine is around 2500. It is very all right to be at 1300.
 
Thanks for all responses!

My old MBA is running about 2000rpm, MBP 2013 15" (2,3Ghz) is about the same. When I looked at 1300rpm I didn't know what to think.

Still one doubt though..
I believe I never saw fan speed higher than 3500rpm

examples (my MBP is 2,4Ghz, 8GB, 256 SSD):
geekbench 3: 1300rpm
cinebench cpu: 1800rpm
cinebench OpenGL: 3200rpm

could you publish yours? is this also normal?
