10.5: More control of fan speeds on iMacs and laptops
Authored by: Ocid on Jul 17, '08 08:28:14AM

I downloaded the MacBook & MacBook Pro version but the GPU temp shows only 0.0 degrees. I have Apple MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 17-Inch (Santa Rosa)

If all the readings in the panel show zero and/or non-changing values, it's likely that the FanControlDaemon (see /Library/StartupItems) is not running.

If it's only the GPU temp, then it's likely that the code to read the GPU temp is different in your model. You could look at the source code stuff and try to figure out what the code is (there are some tools included that may help). If you can determine the code, just change it in the .h, recompile and you'll have a version that works. Of course, this does assume that you have a bit of software development background. If you do that, don't forget to post the information so others can benefit.
