MacFans control

[andrew lancaster]

Help! I have had MacFans control installed on my iMac for some years (thank you Sam for suggesting it!). And has been great.

Today when I switched on the iMac, I got an alert for a new version of MacFan control 2 which was available to instal - so I did. And now the fans are buzzing away like crazy and won’t slow down. Any advice most welcome. The noise is very distracting!

Thanks

Andrew

Check the settings haven’t been set back to Automatic. If you’re using MFC after installing an SSD I’d recommend a hardware thermal solution, there are three types of cable depending on which Mac you have. Make sure whichever fan’s running at full blast is set to an appropriate control, ie based on the temperature of the SSD

As an emergency you could quit it and uninstall?

To quit a background app, open up Activity Monitor, select the app and hit the 'x' just under the window control buttons (red/amber/green). Then you can remove it from start-up items in System Prefs->Users and Groups.

then you could see if you can redownload the original or retrieve from a back-up;)

(I use smcFanControlApp but not sure if that does what you need).

Cheers,
Jason

Hi Sam. Yes, it was set to automatic but the only alternative setting I seem to have is “full blast” - and it means it ! I went back to automatic. How much might I be looking for to have  hardware thermal solution?

Thanks

What’s the serial number of your Mac?
