Saving the sensor based Control?

Post by MacJunkieDE »

Hey guys!
i have a little question: Is it possible to save my sensor based Configuration?
I am asking, because in a few Months I will receive the old iMac early 2006 20" with graphic card problems
and actually they are using application SMC Fan control to prevent the iMac from overheating.
I want to use the iMac as a Media Center and I don't like to control the fans manually, so i would like to use the feature in Macs Fan Control, but with saving the set Temps!

THX.

Hi,

I'm afraid i didn't get the idea. MFC saves fans controlling configuration. When you quit the app / reboot iMac, MFC will start using the previous configuration.

Or do you want to transfer configuration from one machine to another?

Did you copy MFC to Applications?
If yes, try enable/disable of autostart again. If it doesn't help, add MFC to Startup items manually.
