Well I have just noticed that after installing .7, the fans in my MacBook come on quite a bit earlier...

At the moment I am capturing DV footage in FCP, and the proc is running at 40%. The temperature is hovering around 67oC, and the fans are on about 1/2. The thing is, at this temp, the fans never used to be on.. I am 100% sure of that.

So it seems that hopefuly Apple will continue to fiddle the fans on the MBs, to help keep temps down.

Anyone else noticing earlier fans?

I don't see a change after the update. My proc idle temps are between 56-65.
