Fan Control Settings
Fan Control runs as a preference pane application, so it's always running whenever your MB is on
I've found the following settings to ALWAYS keep my Enclosure temperature below 35 C (100 F):
Base Speed: 1500 RPM
Lower Temp: 44.0 C
Upper Temp: 74.0 C
The CPU temperature seems to hover between 48 and 54 C-- but I find it's the Enclosure temperature that really matters as that's what touches your nads! To see all of your computer's temperatures use Temperature Monitor (great app.)
My fans run between 2000 and 2500 RPM usually, and the case never exceeds 100 F (which is only a few degrees above body temp!)
I'm MORE than satisfied with this app. Apple should make their own....
sorry i haven't tried this out yet, but does the fan controlling program only run when you have that program open, then when you close the program, the computer goes back to the normal apple settings.
