Thank you for a Macbook saving program, fans are a lot cheaper that replacing a logic board. Using smcFanControl’s command line interface, it’s possible to modify the SMC’s memory to manipulate the behaviour of the system fan(s) directly.
I hope a windows version is developed for running windows under Bootcamp.
EIDAC SMCFANCONTROL PRO
SMC Fancontrol is outstanding and is a must for any Macbook Pro owner. My fans will adjust almost instantly when changing profiles. Right click on this display and it will bring up it’s menu. Look up in your menu bar icons (date-time, battery status, wireless) upper right corner of your display. When you double left click on the SMC Fancontrol the program will run. The bottom is just a little bit warmer but not anywhere close to the blistering temperatures before. I can lay my hand on the top surface and over the speaker grills and the heat is only slightly warm. The following are indicated by iStat Pro with my fans running at 3500 RPM: HD 97F, CPU 115F, Airport Card 125F, Enclosure Base 88F, GPU 135, GPU Heatsink 115, Heatsink A 113F, and Heatsink B 103.Īs you can see my Macbook Pro is running considerably cooler than without SMC Fancontrol. When I am not playing games and multimedia I setup a higher rpm profile that keeps my fans turning at 3500 rpm. The GPU diode used to run up to around 165F and now is hovers between 125F and 130F. When I am watching movies or playing games I setup a multimedia profile that runs my fans to 6000 RPM. Additionally, my Macbook Pro is quite a bit cooler to the touch. My Macbook Pro is running a lot cooler and now I have no worries about overheating. Go to your System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items. (30,680 points) 8:33 PM in response to waynefromrochester. SMC Fancontrol is a fantastic program and works as designed. According to the fan speed program, the cpu is 95F and fan speed is 3600 rpm.
