Applications :: SMC Fan Control - Setting Minimum Speed

Apr 14, 2009

Just downloaded and installed this app, been using it for a few hours, I am a fan. Just a quick question, it won't seem to let me set the minimum fan speed below 2000rpm (the standard level for the app), is this normal, I thought I remembered the apple default being lower?
15inch UNI MBP, 2.4 ghz, 2g ram, 250hd by the way

Mac Pro :: SMC Control - Setting Safe Fans Speed

Jul 29, 2008

During the summer, I don't have A/C in my house. My temps were getting pretty high, around 55C/130F for processors and up to 78c/172f for ram. That is pretty high, and I suspect it is because the ambient temp in my room is somewhere in the 90s. I am just very acclimated to the heat, and it doesn't bother me.

I downloaded SMC Fan control and bumped the min fan speeds up to:
1250rpm for Exhaust
1150rpm for CPU
800rpm for Power Supply
1350rpm for HD

This has made a tremendous difference. CPU is down over 20C and ram is down about 30-35C. Are these fan speeds safe? What are the Mac Pro fans rated at, and will the increased speed shorten their lifespan? I'd like to keep these current fan speeds if it is safe.

MacBook Air :: Set Higher Minimum Fan Speed

Feb 25, 2009

SMCFanControl lets me set a higher minimum fan speed on my MacBook Pro (I like to keep it at about 3600rpm instead of 2000rpm minimum). Is there a way to do this with the MacBook Air? SMCFanControl doesn't seem to detect the MacBook Air properly. Essentially I want it to run at around 3600rpm and increase to 6200rpm as needed. It should never be running lower than 3600rpm.

OS X :: Setting Speed To Open Applications In Snow Leopard

Aug 10, 2010

I've just got a MBP 13. I was able to set the speed at which the applications open, so rather than the little icon in the dock bouncing 3 or 4 times it bounces twice then opens. I cannot find where I did this. Also is it ok to set it to the fastest if you like?

MacBook :: Fan Control - Why Always +100 RPM From Setting

May 23, 2009

The actual Base Speed that results is always 100 RPM higher than the Base Speed I set in Fan Control. Now, this isn't hard to workaround, but I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing such behavior.I like to keep the MB at around 1200 RPM when I am on battery power in the cafe. It saves a lot of power, and there is a negligible increase in temperature (on the order of 3-5 degrees F), and Fan Control has been great for that.

Applications :: Minimum Hardware For FCP?

Jul 6, 2010

I've got a 13" unibody MBP, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

From a hardware standpoint, can I run FCP and not want to tear the room apart? I have an external monitor so that's not the issue...

I know that technically I could run the software, but would it be torturous? I'll be working with HD video.

Furthermore...best place ($$) to legitimately get a copy of the software? Also, if I need to upgrade my system what would you all reccomend? Again, money is obviously the issue here and I'm just starting to get my hands dirty with this aspect of production so I'm trying to ease into things.

OS X :: Wired Apple Mouse - Best Speed Setting For It?

Apr 18, 2010

I've purchased a Mac mini with the Apple mouse (Mighty mouse) and Apple keyboard and I can tell a difference between how tracking speeds on Mac's compared to PC's, in that with a Mac the tracking speed is less linear and slower if the mouse is moved slower and accelerated if the mouse is moved faster. I'm starting to adjust to this change but can you guys tell me what mouse speeds you have set for your mighty mouse and what screen size you have. Just want to see what speeds other people are using on their Mac's.

MacBook Pro :: Fan Speed Has Increased After Installing And Uninstalling Fan Control Software?

Jun 30, 2012

I installed (and subsequently uninstalled) two different fan control programs... Since then, my fan speed has increased somewhat dramatically. Instead of the normal 2000 rpm (approx), it now runs at 3500 to 4500 rpm with CPU temps between 55 & 65 deg. C. I'm wondering if one of the programs modified some fan setting and how I can restore the factory defaults. I'm on a Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8 *additional note: I only have one fan running (left fan), which is why I downloaded the fan control programs in the first place... but the left fan was running at around 2000 rpm even though it was the only fan (until I installed those programs)

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Applications :: Safari Download Speed / Cutting Download Speed

Apr 9, 2009

I've got a real odd problem with safari 4. For some reason it is cutting my download speeds in about 1/2 from my server and many other places.

If I restart safari I will be able to download close to my 18 Mbps for a little bit but then it will just start to slow down and after about 30 minutes it will be down to about 6 - 8 Mbps.

OS X :: Minimum Sound Volume Not Low Enough

May 27, 2010

With my new headphones (Sennheiser HD280-PRO) even the lowest volume is too high (even when using the extra levels using the option-key). It's just below the level where it'll be uncomfortable, but lower would still be preferred.

Does anyone know how I can get OS X to use a different scale? I have a MBP 4,1 with OS X 10.6.3.
