hi speed fan

I have a 2011 macbook pro 13" i5 that has been running exaust speed @ 6800 RPM at low temperature of 33 degree celcuis. Any idea what might the cause?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Try this:

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

If the above doesn't help, then run the AHT:

Intel-based Macs- Using Apple Hardware Test

OS X Mountain Lion- Use Apple Hardware Test

Could be a bad sensor - try a SMC reset and if the fans still run high take it into your local APple Store and have them check it out.
