The Macs Fan Control is easy to install and use. It gives the user a great picture of the temps inside their machine. I personally set the fans in my MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019) to 4000 RPM as a constant. The temp never gets above 120F - cool to the touch. It is a great product!
Just started using a MacBook Pro for Music purposes and after downloading and running Turbo Boost Switcher, I noticed that the temp was going upwards of 180+ at times. I've read that those temps aren't too bad, but when I am DJing and running Serato, the lights program, Firefox, and download tracks all at the same time the computer gets very hot. I tried using a cooling fan but since the MacBook doesn't have any vents on the bottom, it didn't help the internal temp. I am not sure what the computer isn't telling the fan to kick into high gear at those times, but with Mac Fan Control I was able to just set the speed to 3800 (Normal/default is 2000, max is 6200) and the temp dropped way down! Everything seems to be running great and I'm not so concerned about the internal cpu and bored degrading so fast due to extreme heat.
Fantastic. As in typical Mac fashion my Mac was constantly thermal throttling (reaching temperatures around 80 degrees celsius on the dyes while normal web usage) and I couldn't lay the Macbook on my lap as the chassis would keep getting uncomfortably hot it would burn me. Not only did this app helped me squeeze more performance out of my mac but now it does not get crazy hot either. A must have if you are a mac user.
programa que hace su función a la perfección,podria appel aprender de estas aplicaciones para cuidar nuestros macs, hace 1 mes se me quemo la placa y estoy seguro que fue por sobrecalientamiento,los ventiladores con catalina siempre están a 2000 red y solo acelera el ventilador cuando el procesador y gpu se ponen a mas de 90 grados y así se quemo mi placa, ahora he sustituido la placa y instalado macs fan control para que este programa haga lo que appel no es capaz o quiere hacer en nuestros ordenadores, un 10 para esta empresa y programa
The advantage of Macs Fan Control is that you can adjust every single fan. I put a tighter check on the video card's diode after it was in danger of melting. A really useful help.
Absolutely Must-have App, especially if you upgrade your mac with a new graphics card or an SSD when you can't use the original sensor and the fans are spinning to high.
A very useful tool for controlling the temperature of the HDD, CPU and Optical disk. The fans can be set automatically or can be based on one of the many temperature sensors in the Mac. Works very well for my purposes. This was installed by the technician when I had a SDD installed to replace the failed HDD. Prior to this, the computer was running noticeably hotter than normal (probably due to the failing hard disk or possibly even causing the failure). Since then there have been no problems. While this is not conclusive, the app certainly provides the ability to control and monitor the temperature within the computer.
Allows me to turn up the fan speed to cool down the CPU. Just now, I was running 76°C and turned up the fan to 4200 rpm; within a minute, it's now at 47.2°C, much better.
WOW, 3/31/21 Just bought MacBook Pro 16-inch Intel and with two 4K monitors Mac runs at 145 degrees F and very hot! Installed the free version but you only get Off or Full blast (the speed that where my wife yells at me to turn down :-). Pro version is worth it. Set up 3K, 3.5K and 4K fans and now runs about 113degrees 4krpm. 3.5K is tolerable but 6K will make a hole in your ear frequency spectrum! Love it.
Use it all the time, great at granular control of fans particularly on high end Macs. I would encourage you to upgrade to the pro version if you use it regularly, it's really worth €17.
