Hello, The current (default) setting for therm_adt76x is to start the CPU fan at speed 128 when the CPU temperature reaches 50°C (that is, 122 °F). It's set at speed 255 when it reaches 55°C (134 °F). However, with these settings, the fan is almost all the time at speed 128. If I don't do anything, the temperature is around 48°C. According to threads on newsgroups, MacOS only starts it when the temperature reaches around 70°C (160°F). I don't know first hand as I've never used it. So my question is, what's the best treshold to use? Is it necessary to have the fan start at 50°C, or is there a better setting ?
