Fan speed in sleep mode with new version 1.4.5

Post by Chris1602 »

Hi
With the new version, the Fan speed up at the "rest" of the mac. The control comes back with the re use of the mac. Have you an idea or a solution ?
Thanks

Like Chris1602, I'm having big problems with the new version [MFC 1.4.5] on a mid-2010 iMac with a retrofitted SSD running Yosemite 10.10.5. MFC works fine until I put computer to sleep. Once asleep, one or more of the fans starts running very noisily. Didn't have this problem with 1.4.4 -- should I download and downgrade until this is fixed?? Thanks.

Please re-download/re-install 1.4.5, we've made a quick fix (for iMacs) without incrementing the version.

Please try this version:

If it doesn't work well in sleep mode, please do the following

1. Enable log in Preferences/Diagnostics, restart the app.
2. Enter sleep mode and wake up.
3. Send us the log file located on your desktop.

Thanks.

Hallo customerservice,

I am dealing with the same problem.
While using the iMac 27" end 2009 (Os X El Capitain) the MFC works fine.
In sleeping mode the fan hits the ceiling and doesn't stop till I log in again.
Please help?

I too have had a similar issue since 1.4.5 that 1.4.6 hasn't fixed.

Mid 2011 i5 iMac. My HDD fan speeds up to near max RPM when I while shutting down, restarting and sometime when going into sleep mode.

It doesn't do it all the time when going to sleep. But every time that I shutdown or restart.

It's only the HDD fan that speeds up. I have replaced the original HDD with an SSD.

I will leave the log going for a day and send it again.

The app returns all fans to automatic mode after it terminates.

It has only happened since version 1.4.5 update. I have been testing it the last hour without the app running and I have seen great improvement.

Usual behaviour of my HDD fan without the app, is ramping up and down from min RPM, to about about 1/2 of it's RPM range. Same with long restarts due to updates.

Since 1.4.5, the fan nearly maxes out on shutdown and restart, but not when booting after a shutdown.

I have rolled back to 1.4.4 via time machine and my problems have gone. So it is 100% something in the newer updates.

When the fan is controlled by the system on iMac with replaced HDD, it maxes out.
When the app quits (starting from 1.4.5) it turns off manual control, thus you have this issue.

A agree that on this specific machines (iMac before 2013) it's a bit annoying. Please try this test version of the app:
