Dont know where you are or the temperature of the area of the computer. In another month here (NY Area) on the top most floor the temps will hit high 80s in the day.
Also donk know the last time that you used the computer, before starting up.
Also can be a DEFECTIVE fan sensor.

lo 60s in the Bay Area. Will keep an eye on it. It's almost 4 years old and OOW, so it's not going in for repair.
