MacBook Pro Retina Fan Issues

Are willing to warranty it? Send me a receipt plz.

What's interesting in my case, is I had not experienced it playing music, but then again, I'm ususally doing my engineering work on my MBPr, with music and entertainment left for my iPad / iPod / Home Entertainment System etc.

My first instance of runaway fans was under the lightest of conditions, having only one browser open only a few tabs and a cool computer. The fact it was cold is what is so alarming. Out of nowhere the fans spun up to a roar, stayed there for a few minutes, then decelerated back down to idle. Every so often this happens, usually daily, and it's horribly annoying on a high quality well engineered computer.

At this juncture I have mixed thoughts. On one hand I'm trying to be patient and wait since I'm beyond 14 days, and see what Apple does.

However quite frankly, with their record of silence and lack of action in some cases, I don't have a lot of confidence in a reasonable solution. I'm trying to have faith but I got a dreadful "Antennagate" iPhone 4 that nothing was done about.

After having a 3GS that was a stellar phone in the calling departent, living with the iPhone 4 was beyond frustrating.

Got the same problem on my ME665. Hope it can be fixed asap!

just out of curiosity has anyone tried with Bootcamp/Windows?

Just got my ME665CH/A (15 inch Macbook pro with retina display, early 2013),

Sandisk SSD.Have the same fan problem, i played the song as suggested, and the fans start to kick in.

Yea. Same problem in windows.

I got my rMBP 3 days ago. I noticed random fan spikes when installing software (MS Office) and when browsing in Chrome.

I hope that gets fixed with a software update. I really love the machine and I was lucky to get a Samsung screen. Not going to return it and probably get a Sandisk SSD and an LG screen...

>> 15 inch rMBP early 2013, 2.7/16/256, Sandisk SSD (SD256E).

I feel the same way. Lucky to get a Samsung display which is quite noticeably better than LG. I know this because we have several guys in my office with the LG and they are below average.

Had mine been equipped with a Samsung SSD I would be thrilled but of the over 20 new MBPr's we have purchased for the office, over the last two months, they all have come with SanDisk SSD's.

How do you tell if you have a samsung or LG screen?

From a terminal screen, run:

ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

From the value you receive, this is how you determine the screen manufacturer:

LPXXXX = LG

LSNXXXX = Samsung

Hmm a mid2012 rMBP (from october) has LG but the early2013 has samsung ...

Now the problem gets public:

Maaan. Since I woke my Pro from sleep (5 minutes ago) it made the fans go crazy four ⚠ times with the CPU being idle. This is unacceptible and I hate Apple for that crap.

EDIT: It doesn't even stop. It's between 4k and 6k speed since I woke it up...

i am having the same fan issues that everyone here is reporting. i have an early 2013 15" retina MBP 2.4/8/256 😟 this is my first and last Mac.

去天才吧换三星的，咱们内地的有好几个都换了，祝好运
