Feature Request: restore automatic fans control after exit

I think this is a potentially very serious issue. Unlike SMC fan control which simply alters the SMC setting for the MINIMUM speed that the fans work at, I am starting to think that using MFC to auto adjust the speeds may actually be making my problems worse. I've had at least one occasion where af...

Re: Feature Request: restore automatic fans control after exit

What mark3785 is saying is that after I exit (quit) Macs Fan Control the default Mac Pro fan controls no longer work properly or at all unless as mark3785 says "It takes a complete uninstall* and an SMC reset to get the fans working normally."? Is this correct?! *By 'uninstall do you mean...

Re: Feature request: changing Minimum Fan Speed

Changing the maximum fan speed might not be such a bad idea either. Do you think that's possible?

Re: Feature Request: restore automatic fans control after exit

Thanks. This caused me a great deal of confusion. I didn't figure out what was going on until I did an SMC reset and booted from a cleanly installed OS on a blank disk.

What sensor(s) does the default firmware use to control the fans? The limits?

Feature Request: restore automatic fans control after exit

I've noticed a problem with Macs Fan Control in that when quit, it doesn't reinstate the OS's control over the fans, with the CPU temperature only being regulated by its internal thermal protection (which lowers the clock speed). IOW, if MFC is quit, the fans just sit at minimum and don't react to C...

Re: Confusion

I know. I'm just wondering why the proximity sensor is reading so low and if the right fan's 5500 rpm max speed is normal. I could have sworn both fans maxed out at 6000 rpm.

Confusion

I have a first generation Retina MacBook Pro 15" with the the 2.7 GHz quad core i7 processor. Is a 20º-30ºC difference between the proximity sensor and the core 1 sensor normal? Are both fans supposed to run at 6000 RPM or is the right fan supposed to run at 5500 RPM? I need to know before I bl...
