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 know I dont think it is normal at all but I got told today that, that is their stance and you can either get a refund or put up with it 😟. I could keep on getting replacements but this is my 3rd one and I dont want to keep on having to wait 2 weeks for them to send me a new one.


I am either going to put up with it and hope they release some sort of software update to sort it or send it back and get something different instead. Very annoying as I really do want a retina macbook pro but can not wait for ages as I sold my old laptop and can not be without any computer....

I think apple MUST fix this (if they are smart enough?). I think if the 10.8.3 update doesn't fix this, a lot of people get angry about it. And what if this issue is getting on all the big news and websites with a negative buying advise?? Apple doesn't sell anymore, so Apple, be smart and admit you're wrong and fix this, it's your premium product!!
