I find my MacBook CPU and GPU temperatures can fluctuate wildly from moment to moment and the fans were speeding up and slowing down almost every couple of seconds. You may also note from the screenshot that I use the CPU proximity sensor instead of the GPU or CPU.

For my MacBook Pro 17″ the values in the screenshot are the ones I use and they give a good balance between speed, temperature and noise.

You should set these to be values that speed up the fans gradually before the temperature becomes too great, but not too early that they’re running full blast in normal usage and causing extra noise and wear. As you can see from the screenshot on the left, you can set the base threshold, or the temperature above which the fans will start to speed up, and you can set the top temperature – which is the speed at which the fans will run at maximum speed. Of course, given that there are only 2 fans, you can only set it to monitor 2 separate sensors. The application is simple to use, and can monitor various different sensors within the Macbook Pro and adjust the speed of the fans according to whichever sensor you set up. This helps you to figure out the lower and upper thresholds for temperature should you need to. It’s similar to smcFanControl but provides a little temperature readout in the toolbar along with the speed of one of the fans. With that in mind, I run Macs Fan Control – a little app that sits in the toolbar and once set up you never have to worry about it again. I think it’s a whole lot cheaper to replace the mac fans every few years (which incidentally, I’ve never had to do) instead of replacing the logic board because the GPU has failed due to heating problems. This is on top of the fact that I’ve reapplied the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU (which did make a pretty decent difference in itself). I tend to disagree, since I do a fair bit of gaming (see my previous posts regarding playing EvE Online under Parallels for example) and both my processor and GPU get ridiculously hot before the Macbook fans decide to speed up from their default. Many people believe that Apple know what they’re doing when it comes to keeping their MacBook’s at the right temperature. And Macs Fan Control is still in use on my MacBook Pro even today (although it’s a new machine and the idea of opening it up and applying thermal paste is less enticing on a new machine!)

I have no doubt it’s kept my Mac alive longer than it would’ve been without it.Ģ018 Edit: Although this review is some years old now, the author of Macs Fan Control has kept the software up to date and this review is still as valid as it was when it was originally written. It looks like CrystalIdea might be considering charging for this in the future – which I wouldn’t blame them for.

Also, it’s worth noting that if you’re running Windows in BootCamp on your Mac CrystalIdea have got you covered there too with a version for Windows.

For a free application this one is an absolute gem.

Real-time monitoring of fan speed and temperature sensors, including 3rd party HDD/SSD (using S.M.A.R.T.).Ĭustom setting of RPM value (revolution per minute) or control fan speed concerning a temperature sensor (i.e., 3rd party HDD).Įvery iMac, MacBook (Pro/Air) model, Mac mini, Mac Pro is supported.Īlso works on Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP installed via Boot Camp sharing the same easy-to-use user interface.2021 Edit: Just like the 2018 edit, this software is still in use on my daily driver MacBook Pro – and still keeping it cooler than it otherwise would be. You can also set Macs Fan Control to display the fan temp/speed right from systray for at-a-glance monitoring of your CPU, Hard Drive, etc. This process should be adjusted down incrementally to avoid overheating, which could potentially damage your system. Macs Fan Control allows fan speed adjustments so you can quiet down a noisy fan. This fact allows for quick access to view the current temp as well as essential hardware components like hard drives, processors, optical drive, etc. You will find the UI straightforward and easy to use. With Macs Fan Control, you are provided with the ability to utilize the Fan Control for heat level or sound optimization. You will be able to access detailed data regarding your Macs cooling fan(s). Macs Fan Control allows you to control various vital aspects of fans, including noise and overheating issues on Macintosh machines running Windows.
