TG Pro is a premium fan control and hardware monitoring app for all Mac users. Whether your MacBook Pro uses Intel or Apple silicon, TG Pro will let you monitor the CPU temperature, control fan speed, and read the internal temperatures of your SSD and HDD. It tells you everything you need to know about your fans and hardware temperature.
smcFanControl is a free utility tool that increases the minimum speed of the in-built fan of your MacBook. You can download and use the software to check the temperature of your device and control the speed of both available fans using sliders. Not only will this software stop your Mac from overheating, but it will also prevent it from crashing when using resource-intensive apps. The GPL-licensed tool is easy to use and integrated with a few essential features.
Fan Control For Mac Yosemite
smcFanControl is free to download and comes with a few essential features. It lets you control the minimum fan speed of both laptop and desktop Macs with Intel CPUs. You can easily integrate the software into the system bar and create multiple modes for different cooling requirements. For instance, you may want to set a specific value for your fans when playing high-intensity games. The tool also comes with automatic presets that get activated the moment a change in power is detected.
Resolution:The default fan control settings on the macbook are set to where it activates when it reaches a certain CPU temperature. To maximize battery power, the fan only activates with the default CPU temperatures that Apple has preset. The CPU temperature (in my opinion) is set too high by default and causes the macbook laptop to overheat and affects the performance. To remedy this, we can install an application called Macs Fan Control.
Chris,Thank you sooooo much. You saved me :X Right after I held on shift+control+option+power >> released them and then turned on my laptop the fan noise was gone. Thank you for your great help.

I decided to take a look at the impact of translucency effects on power consumption of various functional units of the M1 Max SoC including CPU, GPU and DRAM controller. To do this, I used the powermetrics utility (Terminal, sudo powermetrics), which helpfully lists clock speed of the CPU/GPU clusters and power consumption at regular intervals. asitop was used to estimate memory bandwidth. All non-essential background apps were quit and the system was monitored to ensure things like Spotlight indexing were not running during the test.
Fan control applications like Macs Fan Control of TG Pro allow you to set custom fan curves for your Mac. Setting the custom fan curve is as simple as selecting a temperature sensor to key off, then setting max and minimum temperature.
HDD Fan Control controls fan speed in relation to drive temperature. If you have replaced your iMac's Hard Drive with a new Hard Drive or a SSD and the fan has started running at full speed creating a lot of noise, HDD Fan Control will control the fan speed, preventing the loud noise whilst keeping your drive safe.
NOTE: This app is specifically designed to control your HDD Fan using your drives S.M.A.R.T data for iMacs with replacement drives which no longer provide correct temperature data to Apple's sensor.
HDD Fan Control will run the fan at the correct speed, and keep your drive cool and safe from overheating. If you are looking for an application to adjust your Mac's fans from stock (and not to control fan noise after replacement disk) we can highly recommend the free smcFanControl or iStat Menus
The temperature monitoring tool TG Pro is designed keeping all the security measures in mind. Being notarized by Apple itself, you can trust this tool on any given day. TG Pro uses the Hardened Runtime and offers a specific and unassailable fan control service. 2ff7e9595c
