Mac Late 2011 Fan Noise Problem
I picked up on the the late 2011 MacBook Pro’s and was having terrible fan noise problems…. Took it into to an authorized Apple repair shop, they told me it checked out. Clearly it did’t because this thing was frequently running at full speed for no apparent reason, and almost always running at min 3000RPM. Solution: PRAM reset and SMC reset. Since that, fan has been relatively ok, fingers crossed… Still not nearly as quiet as my 2009 MacBook.
