A workaround for the MacBook 6200 rpm issue
I experienced the same problem, even after reapplying the thermal paste of my 1st gen MBP. The fans would kick in at 49 °C, even with just one browser tab it would start making noise. I followed this thread from someone at insanelymac and it has worked fine ever since (a combination of smc and fancontrol):

I just modified it to use with Sleepwatcher. Hope it helps somebody else.
A workaround for the MacBook 6200 rpm issue
Well, it's similar to what I've got the info about setting the smc from. I tried the sleepwatcher solution as well. But since the MAX rpm was static I did get a couple of crashes due to overheats. I'm pretty sure I had FanControl installed in the past as well. Not much changed. I'll give it a second try.
A workaround for the MacBook 6200 rpm issue
Well, just to inform that I opened the MacBook, cleaned the fan and replace the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5. The fan grid was 70% obstructed by a thick layer of burned dust. I couldn't believe it was so bad. Still, removing it it didn't cool down. The thermal paste was a joke. Nearly nothing was left on top of the CPU and GPU. All spread around in huge quantity (which they say is not good). |
