smcFanControl For Mac

MacBooks and MacBook Pros are powerful and versatile laptops that can help you perform a wide variety of task but, at the same time, can warm up very fast, especially when running demanding processes and tasks. Thanks to smcFanControl you can now keep your Mac cool and reduce the overall system temperature before it becomes unbearable.

smc Fan Control is a practical and user-friendly Mac OS X utility that enables you to easily set a minimum speed for your Mac’s built-in fans. By increasing the minimum fan speed, you can make your Mac run cooler in normal usage conditions.

The great thing about smcFanControl, is that you cannot set a minimum speed below Apple’s default values. This feature prevents your from making accidental changes and damage your machine.

The light and discreet smcFanControl runs in the background and can be accessed via its status bar menu. At the same time, the menubar icon can be customized to display the temperature and fan speed of one component, the icon, temperature or fan speed only. You can even adjust the used colors and choose the desired temperature unit.

From smcFanControl’s Preferences window, you can adjust the minim fan speed of all available fans, select the fan and component you wish to monitor and create multiple profiles with just a few clicks of a mouse button.

As mentioned earlier, you can customize the menubar, switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit and configure smcFanControl to automatically start at login and apply one of your profiles when the power-source changes to battery, AC-Power or while charging. You can also use smcFanControl to reduce the fan speed while your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air is on a cooling stand.
