SMCFanControl lets your set the fan speed. You just have to set the fan speeds higher.

What is a good speed and should I user higher rpm or default?

I have mine set to the max: 3500 RPM. It keeps it fairly cool.

I have the lower threshold at 115 F and the upper at 160 F

Beware though, your battery life will suffer. But my machine gets WAY too hot otherwise.

I have three settings for me, Default (1800), High RM (3500) and cool down (5000). I've seen my MB hit about 6000RPM when I'm using Aperture.

Also if you set it too high it will be loud.
