A workaround for the MacBook 6200 rpm issue
FaControl is like smcFanControl. Those tools are intended to raise the minimum fan speed, or at least to run the computer cooler. At the cost of a constantly spinning fan. They were no use for me. That's where i've got the smc binary anyway.

That is incorrect. Lobotomo's FanControl allows you to set a slope and offset that dictates minimum fan speed as a function of temperature. It basically does what the built-in system is supposed to do, which is to adjust fan speed as temperature changes. Also note that it sets MINIMUM fan speed, so if the built-in mechanism disagrees and wants the RPM higher, it will be higher. I don't like smcFanControl, because it only sets a constant, so it's loud all the time. With Lobotomo's FanControl, it's more intelligent. I set mine to adjust the high end. At the low end, my 2011 MBP was fine, but when the CPU temperature would hit 90C, fans were not at maximum, and the machine got really hot, so I have it go all the way up to 6000 when I'm over 85C.

I know that. The point is that I want it more silent. Fan Control, like smcFanControl adjusting the minimum fan speed can only make it louder. |
