Though I do regularly run tasks that tax both these systems (i.e., keep both processors sitting at 50-70% usage for tens of minutes), I don't do anything that stresses the GPU on either of them.īTW, if you want to track temperatures, I've found Hardware Monitor to be an excellent application.
#Smc fan control for mac 10.5.8 pro
The temps on my MacBook Pro normally sit with the CPU (diode) sensor at around 120F/48.9C, increase to around 140F/60C when moderately taxed and have seldom exceeded 170F/76.7C. With these settings, the HD in our iMac stays below 110F/43.3C (other temps were not an issue and stay similarly low). The current settings on my MacBook Pro 2.33 Core 2 Duo are: Settings will vary depending upon your environment and system usage patterns. e.g., to generate a version for the Mac Pro that uses different sensors to control different fans (or groups of fans). I've also tried to make it easy for anyone who might want to modify the source code and adapt it to other systems. (The GPU-based operation can be useful if you play games.) There are some other minor enhancements, noted in the Read Me file. The MacBook/MacBook Pro version allows use of the CPU and/or GPU temperatures to drive the fans. The iMac version uses separate sensors to drive the control of each of its three fans.
These versions also have some extended control capabilities over the original FanControl. The result is that I've generated two new versions of Fan Control, one for the Intel-based iMacs and one for the MacBook/MacBook Pro. To that end, I decided to modify the open source (GPL) FanControl to work with our iMac.
#Smc fan control for mac 10.5.8 upgrade
We've used various applications to control the fan speeds on different systems but, with the upgrade to 10.5, our Intel-based iMac was left without a fan-control solution that worked adequately. We take great care to ensure that our systems run with reasonable temperatures as that helps extend their lifetimes.
