Software solution to noise problems such as those caused by iMac HDD replacement, or overheating problems like those found on a MacBook Pro.The developer is aware of the issue and it might be fixed in a future release.Macs Fan Control allows you to monitor and control almost any aspect of your computer's fans, with support for controlling fan speed, temperature sensors pane, menu-bar icon, and autostart with system option. This causes ReportCrash messages in the OS X Console log with a warning about excessive wakeups. The only thing I don't like about it is that it causes too many "Idle Wakeups" per second, usually about 120 but sometimes as high as 500. Macs Fan Control seems to be a good program. My friend had a MacBook that got killed after a year from heat from the CPU and graphics chip, and he was always complaining about the fan not properly cooling it. I like to prevent the CPU from getting too hot so occasional fast noisy fan speed is a good thing. With Macs Fan Control and 50/80C settings the CPU stayed at about 75C during the test. 100C is the Intel specification for the maximum safe temperature. It looks to me like OS X is very reluctant to speed up the fan even when the CPU seems to be far too hot. When the "CPU Core 0" reaches a temperature of about 99C and stays there about 30 seconds (which seems scary) the fan speed will slowly increase to about 3700 and the temperature drops to about 85 for the remainder of the H.B. Yosemite leaves the fan speed unchanged at 1800rpm as the temperature rises. I did a test HandBrake run without any third-party fan control and Yosemite seems to work the same as OS X Lion 3 years ago when I did a similar test. I have updated this paragraph Nov 20 2014: Macs Fan Control starts to increase the fan speed at 50C and raises it to the maximum RPM at 80C.

I set my reference temperatures to 50C and 80C because that's what I used with Lobotomo Fan Control and it keeps the CPU cooler than the default Mac software. I selected the CPU Diode since the temperature readings looked the same as reported by the iStat Nano widget. 11 temperature sensors were available for selection as the controller. I set it up to run with sensor-based control on my 2011 Mini. Essentially this disables Macs Fan ControlĢ: constant RPM value (like smcFanControl)ģ: temperature sensor-based fan speed (like Lobotomo Fan Control) It can be set up to use one of 3 fan control methods:ġ: automatic, to use the default Mac fan control. I'm trying out Macs Fan Control and it looks very good. I have now de-installed Lobotomo Fan Control and reset SMC which on a Mini is a shut down and remove power for a few seconds and then restart. The closest to FanControl would be MacsFanControl because it allows you to set a fan to base off a specific sensor. This set me off to find a fix and I fixed it with MacRumors (that is how I joined ) It was bad RAM. After i installed Yosemite it broke and i had to uninstall it, and so my crashing problem returned as normal. I used FanControl because it reduced my random crashing (that time i had no idea what it was). smcFanControl has the default at ~4000 rather than the correct 2000 so it is partially usable. The true maximum (for my 2009 MBP) is a bit above 7000.įanControl is completely broken. In smcFanControl the Higher RPM preset (comes with app) is set to ~9000 RPM instead of 4000, and it allowed me to set the fans to the true maximum :O. FanControl and smcFanControl have not been updated. The ones that I know were updated are Temperature Gauge Pro, Macs Fan Control, and iStat menus.
