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.

Woot! Good thing too, I was just getting ready to return mine because the 14 day window was about to expire.


I appreciate Apple releasing this so quickly, but just to be clear: they should have at least told us that something was in the works. Could have saved themselves a LOT of heartache, and unnecessary returns. Especially once it was clear that it was a firmware issue and not a hardware issue. Have to say, they could have handled it better.
