    Hi, i have a late 2011 13" macbook pro i5 with 4gb ram and 500gb hardrive. The fan is always real noisy and the mac itself is pretty warm. While im typing this i have safari, iTunes, mail and activity monitor open. On istatpro it the fan is currently running 6196 rpm and the hard drive is at 38 degrees and the cpu at 93 degrees. Im bringing it to compu b next week for a screen repair and i was just wondering is there anything they can do to fix this because im pretty sure the rpm should not be this high running simple programs.
    Thanks

    I'd say a temperature sensor is faulty. why does the display need replacing?

    Well it may just need a new hinge but its real squeaky every time i open and close it.
