Cool off your Macbook with smcFanControl

Make 362
Previously Dale had mentioned his Macbook was getting hot, here's a tool to manually control the fan to cool that puppy down...

  • Let's you set the minimum speed for each fan individually.
  • Adjust fan speed until the Macbook(Pro) is finally comfortable on your legs again
  • Auto apply mode to set the new fan-speeds after a restart
  • Sourcecode included! Extend it and change it to your needs

smcFanControl - Link.

Thanks for the link to 2.0; hadn't spotted that one.

Not sure why those links always resolve to an IP address on the Mac (they stay "homepage.mac.com" on the WinXP machine here), but the original URL is/was http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/software/page5/page5.html

...and the new one: http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/index.html

Enjoy!

Andrew.
