CPU usage 3-24% on a MacPro 5.1 (beta 5)

Post by prologos »

Hello Forum

i have similar problems like "cfshelor" , at last with version 1.0 (Beta 5).
CPU usage was rising after 20 - 60 minutes between 3% - 24% (and then stays high)
This made me un instal the app, because its the only one witch heats my idle Mac up.

But I do like the idea, of sensor driven fans!!! Lots of thanks to the dev. Keep up the good work :-)

Question: Is the fixed Fanspeed a minimum Speed, witch increase automatic, when temp. is rising? So Apples Fan Control is still working?

best regard

OK Steve, good News

New version is running about 2 hour now.
CPU is between 1,8 and 3 %
Memory is good also (see pics)

Thanks for this proper update

Ps. still my question about Constant rpm. Is it only the minimum, and incrasing when hotter? I dont like to damage some thing.

thanks for screens!

Yes, it's always the value you set when setting constant value. Take care of temperature manually

You would be a Mac Hero, if the option for "minimum speed" would also be intergrated ;)

But so far, since 2 weeks MFC is working fine, and no issue with unmounting a 2end HD !

thanks a lot for this great software
