This order helps you as to when the fan speed should be increased and when to decrease.įor instance, while checking CPU temperature if it’s reaching 80 degrees Celsius or above. The mac fan control app settings display minimum, current, and maximum speed in clean order.


Another point to remember here is that you should always monitor your CPU temperature as it’s the most important component of every system.īut this post is only concerned with how to monitor MacBook pro fan speed so we will stick to it. Some note is that you need to check the “Auto Apply after Launch” option and add smcFanControl to Login-Items to auto apply your prefer fan speeds settings after restart, and in order not to lose the changed settings after standby, smcFanControl has to run in the background.There you can check CPU temperature which always remains high than any other mac’s component. To change the fan-speeds, users need to authenticate with valid credentials of an user-account with admin privileges. So users can increase the minimum RPM speed of the fans to release and dissipate more heat and thus cool down the system. However, in order to protect and note to damage the computer or notebook, you won’t be able to set the minimum speed to a rate which is under Apple’s defaults. smcFanControl let users set the minimum speed for each built-in fan individually. SmcFanControl is one of the such fan speed control utility, to cool down MacBook (Pro). There are a few GUI (graphics user interface) based utility software that can help MBP and MacBook (and MacMini) users to control and adjust the speed of the fan cooler. If your Mac system temperature is too high, Mac users can adjust and modify the fan speed to higher speed in order to make the Mac machine runs cooler at lower temperature. Other than CPU operating temperature, CoreDuoTemp also displays indicators of CPU frequencies, CPU usage, and features multiple temperature unit ☏, ☌ or K. To check and monitor the Intel-based Mac OS X computer operating temperature, Mac users can download and install the freeware app CoreDuoTemp, which is also a menubar application with CoreDuoTemp Widget. CPU fan is important part of CPU cooler system, together with heat-sink, thermal paste and etc, so if the fan RPM speed is not fast enough, the cooling system can’t dissipate the heat emitted and generated by Intel processor fast enough, and the CPU may get too hot till affect its performance or worse, stop working altogether. The hot CPU is due to the slow fan speed that are set to run up to a certain RPM (revolutions per minute) limit.

Apple Intel-based computer such as Mac mini, iMac, MacMacBook and MBP (MacBook Pro) operating temperature of the processor can run to very high degree and hot.
