im running lion, my laptop burns when i touch it, yet it thinks its only running at just over 60º (BULLSHIT) anywho, i downloaded and it won't let me move the sliders, they are set to the lowest min temp, what is this about, im running with the latest version on OSx and the latest verison of SMC, any help?????
My fan speed ranges from 950-850 rpm without changing any settings on smcfancontrol.... when i try to edit settings e.g. set fan to highest setting 6200 rpm nothing happens.. any1 else having the same problems?
dude if i quit smc fancontrol and select default will it be like it you to like i mean automatically because sometimes it gets annoying to keep changing the control thanks
If I put it to the highest rpm, it will go to his maximum rpm for a very short time, but it almost immediately lowers to his original rpm, it won't stay on the rpm that I want. Does have anyone a solution to keep it on the rpm that I want?
hey i just downloaded this and it is at 2650-2704 rpm 62-6 C. is tat good?
idk how to properly use this and dont know what rpm i shud put it at. My macpro gets hot even though i dont use a lot of apps and it just concerns me. can u help me
This program is awesome, when my iMac gets really hot (Ususally at the top) I turn this program on, and it really helps! :) My iMac gets a lot nosier, but at least it gets colder. :D
I have gotten smc Fan Control, and I've set the settings for as high as they'll go, because I usually am working with several high demand apps at any given time. What it will do when I select this setting is rev up to the speed at which I've set it at, and then fall back to the default speed. How can I keep it at the higher speeds? If it matters, I have a MBP. Thanks.
@code4owns I haven't been able to keep it there. I fiddled with it for a while, but nothing seems to help. What I've ended up doing is just using it when it gets really hot to bring it down a little to "hot, but not super hot". But it still works in spurts, so I have to click it a few times in a row.
@cwmurray My smc doesn't change the fan speed at all. I can see the temperature and the fan rpm fine, but even though i've set the preferences to about 5500rpm this does effect my fans at all. (they keep well below that at lower temperatures)
@parntsen I don't think I ever got mine to work properly. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, using different versions, and messing around with every setting my mouse could find, but nothing worked. Since then, I took it to an Apple Store and got info on it (I've got a MBP as well), and they said that the temp shouldn't get above about 80 degrees C. I've run intensive programs through a parallel OS and it has never gotten near that mark. How hot is yours getting?
@cwmurray Mine reaches 90C without running taxing programs. And regularly reaches 97C when i play WOW. I've turned down the screen brightness and that knocks off about 5C. I've got windows 7 on my bootleg, but i can't run it any period of time without it shutting down, (presumably a safty mechanism to prevent it from melting/catching fire)
I've done a lot of research on cooling pads and bought the Zalman ZM-NC2500 Plus. If you want I'll let you know how well it works when I get it.
@parntsen If you would, that would be great! I haven't heard of a machine heating up to those kinds of temps before - I was just trying to be overly cautious. Did you get a warranty with it?
@cwmurray so i've had the cooling pad for about a week now. I would say it drops the temperature about 5 degrees Celcius. when i run it on my mac. It still can't keep it cool enough to play a game in windows Bootcamp.
I got this particular cooling pad because someone writing a review on it complained that it cools more at the top than the bottom. I thought this would be perfect since the mac heats mainly at the top. This guy got it all wrong though. It does not cool mainly at the top. I
@parntsen That's a good idea. They should be able to shed some light on the matter for you. I still have a slight fear of working with those people because I feel so unequipped (I was a PC person for years), but every time I've gone in, they've gotten right to the issue and fixed it. They should be able to help right there, or if not, get back to you with a solution after looking it over. No complaints about their service.
my laptop gets really hot but i can hear the fan running high and it feels like hot air is coming out and it makes my laptop get real hot and it will overheat and die what should i do?
Hello, this may be a pretty obvious question, but I'll ask anyway for confirmation and closure :O.
If it set it, for example on a 4000 rpm and decide to delete the app without turning the fan down to macbook default (1800), will the fans remain within the 4k rpm range when i decide to reinstall the program (SMC Fan control)?

@cwmurray It's an ok cooling pad, but I would advice you to get one that has fan openings where the mac heats up the most.
I do have the warranty and I've been lazy about it. I'm gonna take it to the mac store and see if they can do something about this.

like will the fan or laptop spoil if i leave the fan on for more than 6000rpm for 1 hour
superman0391 2 years ago
no because these fans are built to be used for long periods of times at fast speed such as 6000 rpm.
