GIOFX  This small gem is saving my iMac, really.

Isnt a secret (try to googling for "smc fan bootcamp" and "overheat"...) the SMC control seems to have some "issues" using bootcamp and Windows partition, in fact the fans stay ever at the default speed, the result is something like 55° (131° farh) HD and 85° (185* farh) for the PSU

So: I STRONGLY suggest to use smcFanControl if you use the BootCamp partition for heavy work and gaming, this can save your hardware (at least.the iMac hardware)

some comparison playing with and without sfc here:

great work! THANKS!  (Version 2.1.2)

CAPOEIRA4U  What minimum speed would you recommend for a 17" MBP C2D 2.4GHz? What if the fan speed is cranked up to 6000 RPM all the time, is that going to damage the fan?

My MBP overheats when I play games on Windows Bootcamp too long, but I also don't want to damage my machine by turning the fan on too high.  (Version 2.1.2)

IMODULATOR  This utility/ app is a panacea for my mind and MBPro.

Using VMWare Fusion it was heating up on the Lest side of the notebook and I was wondering if the fan was working... using this app did 2 things:

1. Allowed me to visualize the 2 fans and the temp

2. COOLED down the MBP from 56C to now 46"C

an amazing 10 deg C difference

Thanks a million

MUDFLAPPER  Great utility. Works without a hitch. I love the the fact that I can set the fans to a high RPM, reboot into Windows, use AtiTool to overlock my video card and play the latest games without overheating.

The only things I'd like to see added are the ability to choose the menubar font and change the size. The menubar icon is a little too big and clunky, but I'm just nitpicking.

Thanks for this great li'l app.  (Version 2.1.2)
