Smc Fan Control For Mac
Jul 03, 2019 Advanced Mac users may wish to occasionally manually control their Macs fan speed, along with monitoring the active fan speed and keeping an eye on the various internal temperature gauges of their Mac. This can be helpful for performance reasons, but also for some troubleshooting situations, or even. Control fans on Apple computers, also on Windows via Boot Camp. Monitoring of fan speed and temperature sensors. Solve fan noise and overheating problems, iMac HDD replacement.
I've started to play with setting fans speed manually on my Mac. So I installed Lobotomo FanControl 1.1 program. Then I've installed smcFanControl 2.1 for MBP.
However it seems that Lobotomo FC changed default minimal Mac settings and now in smc, the minimal possible rpm setting for fans is much higher that it was before I started to play around with changing fan speeds. So I think the original Apple settings for fans has been lost. How can I restore them?
Thanks,
