Q: MacBook Pro Retina Fan Issues

I have now been given a replacement 15" MBP Retina. After rebuilding my original laptop twice they decided that this was the best course of action. I will keep you all posted. The only part that troubles me is not knowing why the first unit failed...

Yeah don't forget to keep us posted.

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

Unfortunately I already read that the 10.8.3 doesn't solve the issue

Nobody knows, they do not reveal that such things, i think the smc needs an update?

Why it would be an update? My Macbook Pro retina is from the last generation 2.3ghz I7 and is not supposed to be different from the others. But I did buy it 3 days ago before they release the new one.

My first macbook I got was a 2.3 ghz version, I got it 31 January, last friday I exchanged it for the 2.4 ghz version, so it's not really the newest model, but also the 2.3 ghz version...

I agree. Got it also the 2.3ghz on January 30th and I have the problem.

Maybe they changed a hardware componement in the Mac just before releasing the new generation?

Maybe....., but why all the hardare tests passed, the fanspeed has to be temperature based, and my temperatures are ok... So it has to be software based??

Because I think it's not a hardware issue. Maybe the temp sensor is sending some information who are not very well interpreted by the SMC...

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.

I guess it's maybe the SSD sensor, if I got the fans kicked in the ssd temp is empty, here is a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yq92pwtsthpe03w/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-25%20at%2020.5 2.04.png

Could make sense. They just changed the brand of the SSD. I will check if mine is doing the same thing.

But if you look at this post, you can see some data for the SSD temperature: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21261109#21261109

I noticed it also with downloading, but not when doing a Blackmagid SSD test, how can that be?

edit: I also noticed when i was downloading the clean install, the fans kicked 7 times in so it can't be a problem in the OS..
