Feature Request: Add GPU Fan Controls

Post by Mac Pro Owner »

Hi guys,
love the App, so easy to use, 8-)
I live in Western Australia so it gets rather hot in summer
and this app is the bees knees for me. :Yahoo!:
I also downloaded the Window version. :D

I have two Mac pros, 2006 1,1 and 2008 3,1 both running Radeon HD 5870 with 1 gig Mem,
the GPU gets rather hot when running under OS X in summer,
I can control the GPU fan under boot camp Windows 7 By using the CCC Overdrive feature,
however I can't find anything for OS X, :unknown:
any chance you could add this feature to your next release of Macs fan Control ?

You would most likely have to have two GPU fan controller profiles,
one for ATI cards and one for Nvidia cards
with the same features as the apps current controllers.

as a foot note,

Ever thought of selling this App in the Apple App store?
I just had a look in the app store for this kind of App and there are only two others,
going by the reviews they are not as good as yours.

You could list both the OS X and Windows releases,
you only need to ask $9.99 US per download,
it would give you a much larger customer base,
and also some much needed finance for any further upgrades to the App,
give it some thought. ;)

Unfortunately I'm not thinking of implementing fan control for 3rd party PCIe GPUs.

Apple Store will never allow an app for fan control.

But we'll consider introducing a payed version maybe later in 2016
