Q: Fan Speed Problem

I have macbook pro 15inch mid 2014 model. While using smcFanControl it shows that Right Fan Highest RPM is 5700 and Left Fan Highest RPM is 6156. My question is that both of the Fan should have same RPM? Why it is not same, should I call Apple Support or not? Is this a normal case that left Fan is more powerful than right one? Please let me know, thanks!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Yes. Both fans should be running at the same speed. Apple will probably take the position that third party software such as SMC fan control is not recognized by them as being accurate. Run an Apple Diagnostics Test. It may provide a clue.
