Max RPM 3000?

Post by thePanthurr »

So I'm on a 13,1 iMac and running Windows 10 through bootcamp on a 10.10.(whatever the latest yosemite is, not el capitan).

My fans max at 3000 rpm... is that accurate?

Things tried:
- Restarted multiple times
- Reinstalled MacsFanControl twice

Tech Info:
Macs Fan Control 1.3.3
iMac13,1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470S CPU @ 2.90GHz[100]

Update: After leaving my computer on with MacsFanControl overnight-- it got up to 5800rpm.
However, I cannot get it to do this normally-- and it still has the max at 3400 rpm, and the min at about 2900...

Help? :C

3000 RPM looks normal for me. Can you show me the screenshot of MFC?

What do you mean by that? The MFC window itself? I posted a link to that :)
I also saw my fans as high as 5000 this morning after leaving it on all night...
I know they can be that high.

Sorry I didn't noticed the picture.

Looks like there's another SMC fan controlling application (under Mac?) installed. Delete it and reset SMC

Well-- I checked three times and I don't have another fan control software installed I don't think.

I went ahead and reset the smc however-- and ended up with a proper minimum but less on my max :(

These are correct values. Looks like you have another fan controlling software installed (for me). I don't think mac can change min/max values by itself. MFC never changes them

Any idea how I'd go about finding that?
I've checked both windows and mac for smcFanControl and have found no trace...
Maybe theres somewhere I'm not looking?
