[P1] Has anyone experienced excess fan use after updating to 10.3.2 or Battery update 1.1 ?

[Chris Weinkauf]

I get that all the time, mostly when I'm wearing my ULTIMATE STATIC 
SWEATER! WOOOOOO!

I'll be at work with one of the sweaters on and ZAP after ZAP after ZAP 
the fan come shooting on. Scared the hell outta me the first few times. 
Thought I broke something or made the hard drive spin out of control or 
something.  I think it's just protective and maybe the static zaps are 
causing some sort of surge???  I hope not. Better back up more often 
now -_^

Cheers ^_^
