Hi there,
This suggestion comes from experience: I have a very noisy MacBook5,2, and use Macs Fan Control to slow the fan to a bearable level. I believe a Core 2 Duo with a clean radiator doesn't neet to run its fan 4500rpm at 61 degrees.
However, I am not sure at what temperature does the CPU lower its frequency, and I think it would be a good information to have when setting cooling profiles:
One such profile would be "silent", putting quiet-ness before any other consideration.
Another would try to maintain CPU frequency as high as possible while only speeding the fan as needed.
We have discontinued this forum and moved support tickets to the GitHub issue tracker. More info
Feature request: monitor frequency along with temperature
