I realize that mac users are accustomed to their computers being quiet when not being taxed, unlike say, a dell desktop that just drones 24/7. so for them, the computer suddenly spinning up for awhile could be cause for alarm. I suspect that's why I'm seeing these.

I was just wondering if this is a more widely-experienced issue? When a computer is checked in for fast fans and it's not acting up when I see it, it can be tricky to figure out / speculate / guess wildly what's causing it.

I'm just seeing carbonite on almost all the fast fans I've seen lately so I assume it's somewhat widespread?
