Hi gents!

I was wondering if anyone has managed to figure out what are the best settings for this macbook I have.

macbook pro 15"
mid-2012
OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5/Windows 7

By best settings I mean which sensor should I pick for fan control, should I pick the same sensor for both fan since the heat-sink is the same, what min and max temperature should I set.

I've recently discovered this app so any info is greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Well I did some testing and so far Ive tied both fans to CPU PROXIMITY (since the heatsink goes through both the CPU and GPU chips and the CPU is the hottest). Starting at 35 C (so fans usually run at 3200 rpm~ idling) and max 50 C.

So far so good.

Id love to hear your settings guys!

One of fans is normally spinning in relation to GPU. You can check this by playing some 3D game

Sorry Ill post the specs.

So the macbook itself acknowledges one fan for CPU and another FAN for GPU? You see any downsides in doing what I did? Both fans spinning should put the CPU temperature down faster and more efficiently right? And if CPU is usually warmer then GPU, even when playing games, I should be safe right?

Hey Mr Steven, any inputs on that after I posted the specs?
