Tried this, but just got error messages from Terminal as the person on Page 3 of this forum did. Any ideas on the correct commands for Terminal.


sudo kextload macsfancontrol.kext

Test TjMax Temperature (max allowed CPU T) on your Mac

Post by henrycmjames »

I ran into 2 problems, the first was changing to the runTest directory in Terminal - It couldn't find the directory, so I just tried pasting the code snippet into terminal and it kept asking for a password, and wouldn't accept the one I typed. Any help and suggestions would be really appreciated. All I want to know is what is the maximum temp for me to set the app to.
Thank you.
Henry

FWIW, my test was done in El Capitan on MacBook5,2

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7450 @ 2.13GHz
MacBook5,2
ctl_id: 0xd for ctl_name: crystalidea.macsfancontrol.kext
TjMax T: 0

Would that explain why I have a sluggish MB with very high, loud fan noise?

Perhaps the kext needs re-signed with a newer signing cert?
