SMC Fan Control Question

[SyncFx]

So hey, sup.

I had iStat Menu or what not for maybe 5 days and when I zapped it for SMC(all I wanted was just fan control and not the other stuff) I forgot to reset it back to Default 2000rpm, so besides SMC thinking default is now 3000rpm, when I run intensive applications like a Source game on Steam or sometimes even PS, SMC locks the rpm at 3000, so I basically have to set SMC to a Higher RPM prior to starting my applications now..

Any fix?

Maybe try to install iStat Menu again and change it?

Or in preferences in SMC, try to change Default to 2000

think of installing iStat again to change Default to 2000, to see if it works, however SMC thinks Default is 3000, as in I cannot lower it below 3000 within SMC. Which I find strange.

I have a problem with the "Default" setting with smcFanControl so what I did was create a new profile and called it Lowest and dropped the fan speed to the far left. Then I changed the auto-apply drop-downs from Default to Lowest. This should work for you if you continue to have a problem with smcFanControl's "Default" setting.

This worked for me! Thanks!
