I have an 24" Early 2009 iMac with the Mobility Radeon HD 4850. I decided that since the computer is getting older and will be replaced soon anyway I am willing to take a bit of a risk to get few more frames per second out of Skyrim. So I downloaded MSI Afterburner and SMC Fan Control for Windows. I need to know which fan or fans actually provide cooling for the gpu. I don't want to unnecessarily turn them all up. The computer seems to have three fans, the odd fan, the hdd fan and the cpu fan.
Which one should I modify and where too
cut and paste from the command prompt...
c:\users\leekeller\downloads\macfan>macfan.exe <odd?> <hdd?> <cpu?>
Fan #0 ODD is currently running at 800 rpm
The Slowest Fan #0 can run seems to be 800rpm
The Fastest Fan #0 can run seems to be 4800rpm
Fan #1 HDD is currently running at 1600 rpm
The Slowest Fan #1 can run seems to be 1600rpm
The Fastest Fan #1 can run seems to be 5900rpm
Fan #2 CPU is currently running at 1200 rpm
The Slowest Fan #2 can run seems to be 1200rpm
The Fastest Fan #2 can run seems to be 3600rpm
