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.

I just came from the apple store, they did all the possible tests, but they couldn't find something after a few hours waiting, they said to wait till the next update (10.8.3) I guess it will come soon?? http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url= http%3A%2F%2Fappleinsider.com%2Ftopic%2FOS%2BX%2B10.8.3&ei=4bkrUbeUJOis0QXHlIG4D g&usg=AFQjCNHT1h4_aCVgM7CbiMO3MuE8rSQIkQ&bvm=bv.42768644,d.d2k

I've had better luck of late. Only one time did I experience 6k rpm and I put it to sleep immediately. That was about 2 days ago. Since I've only gotten to 4k rpm. I feel like it wanted to hit 6k but with me talking it down 4k was as far as it got lol. Still I don't want to be embarrassed in class or in public with a $2000 machine sounding like a central air conditioning unit. Please Apple, we are choosing your extra $$$ machines for a reason don't give us a silly reason not to buy. Address it, and lets move on. This isn't a high school relationship we are all adults here.. I think.
