NUBNUB  Same problem.

Macbook pro 13". Deleted using fan control instructions. Also reset SMC. fan will not increase speed even at 70c. Reinstalled. and fan turns back on. This needs to be fixed.

Also, what happens if i want to reformat my computer? Will i need to install fan control again? Will the firmware be reset if i reformat my computer?

STEVE BURNS  This is a great app!! Problem I have is that it will not ever set the fans to the max rpm of 6200 for my MacBook Pro 15" unibody. Seems only to get to about 5800. The red line on the graph in the system preferences control panel even indicates it will never use 6200.

Anyone got any solutions?

thanks!

MAX Z.  I noticed that one will have problems with uninstalling this program and restoring the original system settings. I highly recommend to use this program if you are using a laptop, because it drastically cools down the CPU.

So to solve the problem of not restoring system settings after erasing the program, all one has to do is to set the cooling preferences to the Apple settings (1500 RPM, Lower Th. 50°C, Higher Th. 80°C) and then erase the application.

Have fun. And stay cool.

XCHG  Ok, that's cooling fine. Thanks. But fans are too loud..

How can I UNINSTALL this program with returning to DEFAULT SETTINGS ?

Removing from PrefPane doesn't helps.

(except reinstall MacOS)

SNERDWARE  I've generated 2 new versions of Fan Control, one for the Intel-based iMacs and one for the MacBook/MacBook Pro which has some extended control capabilities over the original Lobotomo Fan Control version. For screenshots and (free) downloads (with source code) see:

iMac Fan Control

Extended MacBook/MacBook Pro Fan Control

The iMac version allows separate sensors to drive the control of each of its 3 fans and the extended MacBook/MacBook Pro version allows fan-control via the CPU and/or GPU temperatures (useful if you play games on your laptop). There are also some other minor enhancements (see the ReadMe files).

I've also tried to make it easy to adapt the source code for other systems ... e.g., a version for the Mac Pro that uses different sensors to control different fans (or groups of fans).

Hope these are useful to others.

HUBBERBUBMAN  I wanted to add to my previous posting that I could identfy FanConrol as the culprit.

I deinstalled it completely, reset the SMC and ran my MacBookPro 2 weeks without it.

None of the earlier described symptoms showed up.

Though the Computer was a lot hotter.

So I decided to reinstall FanControl and deal with it´s failures. Just have one right now. However.

If someone can help me, please speak up!

thanks
