10.5: Autostart G4FanControl in OS X 10.5 revisited
Authored by: Blast_Hardcheese on Mar 24, '08 11:27:14AM

On Intel macs, there's a nice menubar app called smcFanControl.

It shows you the current temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit and lets you set the fans to any speed. It also gets shipped with source!

I don't have a G4 so I can't test to see if smcFanControl works on PPC, but I'd like to know

10.5: Autostart G4FanControl in OS X 10.5 revisited

SMCFanControl does not work on PPC, unfortunately :(

The G4FanControl site seems to be down for the count. I wonder if the original poster or someone would consider uploading 0.4 someplace we can get it, or sending it to me and I will. Please?

And thanks for this hint! I'm using the GUI version for the moment and my old 12" PB is so much cooler now. I'm sure it's killing battery life, but it's sort of worth it to be able to use my laptop on my lap :)
