Issue with updating of fan speed in menu bar (Mac OS X)
Hi! I have a late mac mini i5 with the macs fan control installed. it does a great jod keeping it cool even in the summer!
But when I go to play some GRID,(racing game from mac app store), and then quit the game the fan speed shown at the menu bar is still at the max 3000rpm although the time has passed and the cpu is cool. Using istat pro I can see and hear that the fan is not spining that fast but is down at the default 1800 rpm(since the mini's cpu is cool).
Entering the fan settings (regulated by the cpu diode temp) and just pressing ok, solves the problem and the fan speed shown is correct.
Any ideas? I think that i have tried everything. Reinstalling, changing settings..

Re: bug?
Yes the fan rpm display is showing the old value (about 3000rpm when cpu diode is 70 celcius right after I quit playing the game) and is still showing 3000rpm after the cpu diode temp is down to 55 celcius.
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55).

Re: bug?
The status is still the same. I just have to wait 1/2 to 1 min and the fan rpm display is showing the true value. I'll inform you if anything changes.
By the way as a future addition to the macs fan control I would like to see the ability to save presets for controlling the fan speed accordingly to sensor temps so if I change the control to automatic I can easily change back to a preset without having to enter the temps over and over again.
Thanks for that wonderful app!

Re: bug?
Please try this build
Re: bug?
UPDATE: Done playing just to get the mini up to temperature. the app seems to work fine and the display at the menu bar seems to me a lot more responsive to the values shown. I'll keep on using it and you'll get updated as soon as i find anything or be sure that the build is good.
Thanks for the build/update by the way!

Still using the 1.1.1 build. I don't think anything wrong with it. The responsiveness of the fan rpm value and temperature value, are much higher now. Waiting fot the next update!
