Disappointed with the build quality of my rMBP

I've not been disappointed with the build quality of my 15" rMBP (June 2015) but I do have one gripe with it. Even under the smallest amount of load, the fans go absolutely mental.

I'm a graphic designer, so basically live on the Adobe Creative Suite. Just opening Photoshop / InDesign / Illustrator is enough to make the fans kick off, never mind actually doing any work on it.

I've tried all sorts of things to fix it but so far not found a solution.

It's annoying as hell. You COULD have a problem with the graphics card, so could be worth taking it in for a 'genius' to check. If you can get an appointment in this lifetime. Could be it's doing that cause that's just how it is. Mine got a lot better after I took it in and they replaced everything except the logic board. Used to turn into a jet engine whenever I watched any flash based video streams, which it doesn't do anymore. Don't remember it going too crazy with Ps or Ai before, but doesn't now. Occasionally does it still but I feel like it's usually when I reopen chrome and 300 tabs load all at once.

Glad I'm not the only one, thanks for the info Pedro.

My nearest Apple Store isn't too far away and I have Applexare so I might get an appointment.

It's just frustrating not knowing if there really is a problem or if it's 'just like that'.
