![]() 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. If you find out anything more please post.Yosemite broke all fan control apps. Wonder if its worth a try but a bit nervous about doing it. The one thing I haven't done is the hardware test. I have read and saw on youtube people returning to Apple and still have the same problem so wonder if its worth it. I dont leave the mac in sleep anymore I shutdown just in case, which means i don't use it as much, which is a shame I use to jump on and off regularly now reduced to less than an hour a day because of the boot up time quicker to use iPad. I am waiting for Yosemite update to see what happens, it probably won't change a thing but I live in hope. Thats the thing I could not understand the fan roaring but the temp. ![]() just to make sure it doesn't raise up to far it mostly stays in the 30's. if you have had a HD transplant and it keeps all quiet. So removed that and now have SSD fan control it shows the two fans and has SMART control which apparently works on the temp. I did put SMC fan control on but it only had a manual control and wasn't sure what to set it at also could only see one fan at a time. I am not tech minded so have not got a clue what is happening, just know that after Yosemite was put on the fan started roaring. This didn't happen while on Mavericks for me but did for other people, seems Yosemite has picked it up for me, they say it has something to do with the sensor thinking its overheating when its not due to the upgrade. The stories I have read said changing the HD caused the problem in 2009 iMacs. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem.I really hope its not a HD problem as I just got a new upgrade to 1 TB last year.
