| How long have you had this Mac Pro? I ask because several things can make a Mac tower fans to go wild. 1) If you just bought the Mac Pro, open it and make sure you removed any inside packing tape and that all cards are seated well. They can become loose during shipping so this is important. 2) Another thing is make sure the inside is clean of dust if you have had the Mac Pro for awhile. 3) Open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor and watch it for a while while you do work. See if some program is eating up processor or memory. I hope you found the problem because this is not normal. If you check it all out and have appleCare on it, call them ASAP. Every Mac Pro I have come across are VERY quite, except for the hard drive turning noise.

| Hi Anyone having any joy with this? I am getting exact same issue. Its been fine for months (only 4 months old) and today when I turned it on, fan was very loud - sounded like it wanted to take off. Air circulation is good. Some dust inside but can't see heaps of it clogging anywhere. Should I be removing any parts? Turned off/unplugged and turned it back on again several times and still fan comes on incredibly loud - sometimes straight away and other times after about 30 seconds. Please can someone help? My boss might think I have broken it! |
