"Kyle,

One thing to check is the print manager. Sometimes the CPU gets stuck on trying to print to an unconnected printer.

Go to

Finder> Utilities> Activity Monitor

Select display all processes

Find the process taking up the most CPU % and kill that process.

The fan speed should drop within seconds.

Let us know.

Frank"

"I had this fan spin issue on my older core 2 duo mac mini, after installing an ssd. I solved this by replugging the fan in proper orientation. I must have turned it around during reinstallation.

Possibly this is a solution here also."
