MacBook Pro fan runs even when it is in sleep mode I updated my mac software to macOS Montery and the fan is running even if he is in sleep modus. Why is it the case? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Fan problem after installing aftermarket replacement battery I have an Apple MacBook Pro 15-Inch "Core i7" 2.8 Touch and I recently changed out the factory battery for an IFIXIT battery replacement kit and followed these instructions. The replacement happened without any issues but now for some reason my right side fan is blowing at a high RPM and it is not being detected when I use a fan control app like Mac Fan Controls. With that said, I think because it is not being detected the fan is running at a high RPM by default. Before I take it all apart again to see if I missed anything, does anyone have an idea what the issue may be?

Fan speed display studio They repaired my studio display, but now the fans are running at full speed. You can hear the air current, and support is telling me this is normal. The tests show no irregularities. Has anyone figured out why the fans go full speed right when the display turns on, even when it’s not hot or anything?
