Fan Control Uninstalling

[upinflames900]

I know there are a few older threads on this, but I installed Fan Control for my new Unibody MBP 15inch. I then uninstalled this.
I removed the files from PreferencesPanes and StartupItems,
Reset SMC
Reset PRAM
Will that restore the fans to the original settings?
Just to check what are the original settings?

Do you have iStat Pro installed on your computer to monitor fan speeds?

Yes I do

 

[geoffreak]

The fan speeds appear normal to me. (I sure hope those temperatures are in Fahrenheit)

Yea the temps are in fahrenheit, thanks for checking them for me. One more question, does reseting the SMC and PRAM reset the fan speeds? OR the fan controller?

It supposedly does, but no guarantees. Seeing as how your fan speeds appear normal, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

A good way to test to see if your fan speed has gone back to the default setting is

1. Check that the min speed is 2000 rpm

2. Go to youtube and play some flash videos -- that will make your CPU jump

Your fan speed shouldn't start increasing like it did in Fan Control. Under the default setting, it stays at 2000 rpm until the temperature gets much higher.

Ok thanks guys...the fans seem to be running well, here is one more screenshot of them under some decent cpu usage...

Does this look ok?

EDIT: The degrees are in Celsius now because I thought that might be more universal

I think its fine. The only problem that I've heard of with fan controller after removing it is that it doesn't increase fan speed at ALL.

I use it too I don't like how late the MBP starts to spin up the fans.

Ok thanks a bunch, I didn't want to screw up a new MBP

Mine (without fan control) starts ramping up at 160 (F) to about 3000 rpm. It goes to 4000 at 170 and it goes to 5000+ at 180 + degrees. Below 160=2000.

Ok thanks that works great as a comparison for me...and everything looks to be pretty close to that so no worries.

I don't really like extraneous daemons running in the background (FanControlDaemon) anyway.

Thats why i deleted it in the first place actually... I don't really like it overriding the default settings.
