Fan running loud on mac desktop
Keep vents clear
I have reset the SMC once before which seemed to work and have just done again with instant success. Just hoping it stays alright for a while this time.
On a slight tangent, after I upgraded to Snow Leopard the laptop would continue to run even though the lid was closed. This caused me much distress on quite a few occasions as it had been in a nice snug laptop bag and got very very hot several times, I am just hoping that it has not sustained too much damage.
