Macs use software.įor my Hackintosh (Compaq Presario C700), I had the fan turning on for about 2 seconds every minute or so. I have solved this problem, once and for all!Īs most people on this forum know, PCs use BIOS to control the fan. What were your results with those fan control apps? Did they do anything?įn=3 might help but i hate to do that as ive heard it keeps the fan on 100% all the time. My system boots with CPUthermo but not with appleintelcpupowermgmt. I have deleted CPUthermo and AppleintelCPUpowermgmt. However if the bios never kicks it on then the system will overheat.
If on a warm boot it seems that since the bios kicks the fan on then OSX will control it and regulate the temp. I have this same problem but only on a cold boot. I have tried the following softwares yet:
I wouldn't mind a permanent high speed Fan, even if its loud! because my computer becomes extremely unstable after getting too hot! It just drones on a low speed and cpu temperature goes up to 85 degree C!Ĭould someone suggest some working Fan Control utilities? or perhaps some Kext replacement! And the lack of any sort of help or explanation for both Fan Control and smc is a little annoying.My fan wouldn't give its best performance! Is the 3000 range acceptable? Does it drain too much battery life? What are the exact definitions for the lower and upper thresholds? It seems like a great program, but to someone who has never had to worry about fan tweaking until now, it seems a little ambiguous. It seems to me that the fans are trying to get the temp down to 48 as much as possible, so the RPM's read at about 2800-3000.
I'm assuming the lower threshold is the minimum temperature to aim for? Right now mine is set at 2400 RPM base speed with a lower of 48'C and upper of 70'C Yes I understand it is to set the minimum fan speed, but what about the lower threshold and upper threshold? The thing I really can't stand about either apps is a detailed explanation on the settings.
Makes it feel like it's part of the system. I decided to go with Fan Control because I really like how it goes into the System Prefs. I was using smc for my MBP's fans but I didn't like the idea of it being a program that had to be started on its own (or at log in).
