Comment 12 for bug 52852

This may be a fix.

A new GPL'ed OSX application called "smcFanControl" allows a user to control the minimum fan speed on Intel MacBooks through a simple interface. It appears that this minimum fan speed setting carries over into Edgy without issue on a multi-boot system, but more testing is needed.

A firmware upgrade helped cool the CPU temperature on my MacBook from 70C+ to 55C-60C during extended "normal" use. With the above "fix" [minimum speed of 4500rpm (will probably lower this later)], my current temperature is 41C after an hour of "normal" use.

It's nice to have a MacBook that I can call a "laptop". I hope this continues to work without issue.
