Re: Macs Fan Control makes HDD sound like a clock

Double checked, logging is disabled in the preferences, and the ticking continues only when MFC is open, and even when iostat 1 shows 0 transactions per second for multiple seconds. It is strange.

Re: Macs Fan Control makes HDD sound like a clock

Thank you.

Reducing the frequency to once a minute would help, too.

Strange that the HDD makes sounds like a seek operation when all you read is the temperature. Do they all behave like that?

Macs Fan Control makes HDD sound like a clock

Just as the subject says, when MFC is running my iMac's HDD clicks continuously, tick-tock, tick-tock, all the time, about one tick-tock per second.

iostat doesn't show any actual disk transfers every second, so I'm wondering what this noise is, and whether it could be prevented/removed?

Thanks!

Then perhaps the option "None" could be removed from the preferences?

Bug: Disable menubar item does not work

Version 1.4.8.1 on iMac11,1 running latest Sierra; in Preferences, when choosing "None" as the "Icon" under "Menubar display" does nothing, it does not disable the menubar item.

Thanks.
