Hey guys,

As you know i was using a Mac Mini for a long time and i was able to leave it running for weeks at a time whilst doing intensive tasks such as using Visual Hub. Even when doing that i would hardly hear the fan. ( i tend to do these tasks during the night when im not using the computer)

However, with my new Macbook the fan seems to go off a lot easier and louder then it did for the Mac Mini. Is that normal? Is it just because the Macbook is being more cautious being a laptop rather than a desktop machine? I just want to make sure that i am not damaging any of its components by letting the fan run continiously for what could be up to like 3-6 hours

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Luca
