I saw an interesting post today by pgharavi who says he is using SMCFanControl to set the max speed of his fan to 4000RPM:
Not to question his knowledge but have others tried this and does it really work?
I might not go so far as to set the fan to 4000 (but I might). Given all the thoughts on Coolbook, what do you all know/think about this? Safe and effective relief from fan headaches?
From the terminal:
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F0Mx -w 60e0
(that's the default 6200 RPM)
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F0Mx -w 3e80
(That's 4000 RPM Max)
I obviously gain a few degrees C when limiting to 4000, but at least my MBA shuts up.
