MacBook Pro Retina Fan Issues

Hi,


I bought a macBook Pro Retina just under a month ago, and have been experiencing some issues with the fan speeds.


I can be just browsing the web or checking emails or playing music through iTunes, and the fans will spin up to full speed for a minute or so, and then return to normal.


I have reset the SMC, the PRAM and repaired the Disk and Disk Permissions, with no luck, I've also tried a full format and reinstall with no luck either.


I have seen that others have been experiencing similar issues, and wanted to get some advice on where I can go from here.

Attached below is a Screen Grab of my temps and fan speeds. The fans were at normal speed for a few minutes, then went up to a high speed, back down and then back up again, and kept repeating.

Thanks in advance,


James.

Thats what the majority of customers drive them to do, most companies are the same I have a Synology NAS, same thing, most the the improvements / features are not dealing with core functionality, a classic example of this is they are up to OS 4.1, and there is still no way to start a parity check to know if your data would / could recover from a drive failure in the RAID configuration. Maybe the hardware upgrade cycle is getting beyond the software update cycle, they have been getting quite aggressive in revamping hardware in recent years, ipads, macbooks etc. I was suprised when I order this rMBP as it was a 2.3, but arrived as a 2.4 (updated).

Yep, they can, but it will most likly be dependant on them isolating the problem, informing sandisk they need to fix the problem in the SSD drive, they create and test a firmware fix, provide to Apple and then they release into a patch etc (after apple has tested it as well).... turn around? months.... IMO. even if sandisk is not involved it would still be lengthy, it all depends on of Apple are aware and if they currently are addressing it. We could get a patch tommorow, or months.
