Hey is there anyway to directly control the fans in a mac? There a program or script?
Thanks

You might be able to open it up and solder some sort of wery small control knob and neatly mount it on the outside, like mabey a little slider
interesting I wonder if your idea would work on any mac I have an eMac and It is pertty noisy sometimes
mabey you could replace the fan with a quieter one I that why you wanted to know
Well that is an option but i would really like a software contol. I have found that somthins the fan on my ibook doesn't even kick in at processor core tmep of 68.9°C. 70 is the max. Somthimes it does kick in but.
I'll think about it...

Is this with it plugged in or on battery? On battery you can set it for performance or conservation. On conservation it will throottle the CPU speed based on usage, and also not run the fan as often to save battery power. I rarely even have the fan come on on my G3 iBoook 600, but when it does it's usually on AC power and running a full load.
well, even on ac power it somtimes doesn't come on. I think i have hit over 69° heaps of times and the fan has only come on 3-5 times. Weird hey?
