Hi, I stumbled upon this article when I was searching for the app name I used to solve this kind of problem.
Smcfancontrol uninstall pro#
It has successfully lowered the fan speed and noise on my early 2009 Mac Pro tower. It’s 2012 now so things have changed I guess. But the app does now AND per the website, 2.3 works on Lion! I see your post was in 2009. Contrary to your statement, it DEFINITELY works on my Mac Pro tower and I’ve got the fans running now at 1,200 RPM and the temperature has reduced from 108✯ to 93✯ already! So I guess the version you were commenting on was earlier and perhaps didn’t work on MPs. I just installed smcFanContol 2.3 on my MacPro1,1 which I think was built around 2008 and is a 2 x 3 quad core intel xeon. I reduced back to 600rpm and all was well ) You can easily edit the base speed using a plist-editor like Apple’s Property List Editor or such. So I searched for the plist-File which is located inside.
Smcfancontrol uninstall update#
Added a warning message for macOS 10.7 to notify user that update is possible only manually 239.
Smcfancontrol uninstall download#
For next updates the app will download >30 smaller files thanks to more efficient XZ compression format 539. I was pretty pissed after reading your comments and having the same problem on my MP3,1/2008. Uninstall the app completely including the fan helper tool via the More -> Uninstall command 492. I HAVE THE SOME PROBLEM WITH MY MAC PRO EARLY 2008 I NEED TAKE THE CONTROL ABOUT MY FANSĭid you guys solve this problem? If not here’s the solution. The only way round this issue that I have found is to reinstall OS X, are their any other ways besides this? Removing the app and resetting the SMC does not seem to return the fans back to their original speed of around 650rpm. SmcFanControl 2.2.2 Does work on the 09 Mac Pro, however the PCI and PS fans are bumped to over 1000rpm as stated above. SmcFanControl 2.2.2 working fine on my 09 Mac Pro. If any of you knows a way to effectively control fan speed on the mac pro, please let me know.Ĭomments from long ago: # Comment from: Al # Resetting teh SMC also seems to have reduced the tempearture of the air mesured at the exhaust - at equivalent fan speeds and system load (that is: idle!).
:'(įrom what I undrestand the fans are controlled by a chip called "SMC" as in "System Management Controller" and apple doesn't give you much control over it, apart from a clunky procedure to reset it! Note: resetting the SMC allowed me to get back to original rpms for all fans after FanControl had messed them up. It probably works on other apple computers but on the mac pro 2009 it has absolutely no effect on fan speed.
Worse: it doesn't actually do anything on the mac pro. However, again two of them cannot be set lower than 1000 rpm. That one has the advantage of allowing settings for all 5 fans on the mac pro. Up from 600 rpm, that is too much! I wish I could run every fan at 850 rpm!
Because it's designed for the macbook pro (yes, the laptop), it only controls 2 of the 5 fans and the minimum speed it allows is 1000 rpms. BEWARE: it's a pain to uninstall (unsinstall instrutions on their page). I first tried FanControl from Lobotomo Software. Now my problem is I'd like all these fans to run faster! Yes, faster! Not because I want some extra fan noise, but because I believe Uncle Steve pushed it too far when he asked his engineers to reduce the fan noise! I wouldn't mind the noise to be a little bit higher pitched than it currently is. You can monitor that with iStat menus - which is very cool for monitoring a lot of things, except voltages & power consumption which do not seem to work, at least on the Mac pro 2009. anoying because of the complexity of the sound (yes, it's 5 different spining motor sounds combined, not to mention the hard drive spinning!) Maybe suggesting fan control 1.Did you know there were actually 5 different fans inside a Mac Pro (early 2009 version)? They are named Intake, Exhaust, BoostA, PCI and Power Supply! By default, all of them turn pretty slowly in the 600 to 850 rpm range! Which makes the whole thing pretty silent. I noted your suggestions however i do not seem to have a 'Startup' menu/folder or 'Login Items' as I read somewhere else, and my 'Preference Panes' folder is empty. Iv now installed smcfancontrol 2.2.2 and when I change the fan speed they change for around 4 seconds before going back to default.
I simply right clicked on the fan control 1.2 icon in the OSX Prefferences menu and clicked 'Delete fan control 1.2' and restarted. I decided to try and find what I now know is smcfancontrol. I originally had smcfancontrol before on my 2010 MBP and liked it, this was before my hard drive died of its own accord and I got a new one installed by apple and had to reistall everthing.Īnyway I just went to get a fan control app again and forgot the name of it, downloaded and installed fan control 1.2 which I then noticed was different and didnt like it.
