You might want to add in that the base RPM by default is 2000. OF course, you
can set it anywhere in the range you want to, but, if you run on batteries a
lot, the higher the base RPM, the cooler the GPU but the greater the drain on
battery.

A bit warm on the bottom is okay. In fact, the entire bottom of the
single-form-factor metal Macs is designed as a heat release. In studying this
subject, I'm finding that this problem is especially related to the Intel Macs
& particularly the dual core machines. As Ray mentioned in an earlie

That's great! I hadn't gotten that scientific in my approach, yet. I have
started keeping a post, from time to time, that has something that I know I
will refer to in the future. I'm going to add this post to that file.
Again, thanks,

My macbook gets a bit warm on the bottom, but never hot, much cooler than the
PC laptops I've worked with.

Yeah, that was what I sort of gathered too. Bear in mind the fact that I do
not remember what the default low and high threshhold settings are. The forum
I saw did not seem to reveal those. Here's what my playing around with the app
seemed to reveal.

Ray,
Thanks for sharing those settings. In all these replies, I've sensed that some
folks think their fans are only coming on when the machine is hot. Based on my
research, my machine & a lot of posts on the subject elsewhere on the net, I'm
pretty sure that what their perceiving as the fan
Yep. Let me tell yuh, when you look at the teps your GPU is running at, it's
mighty frightening. My lwo threshhold is set to 140Degrees f, and that's the
100% setting on the slider. My high threshhold is set to 60% which is
180DegreesF. The default base RPM setting is 2000, according to a fo
C.J., thanks for this. I will give it a look. :)

try putting it on a table for a start. if it's getting that hot, send it
in for repair, or maybe you've got something wrong with your OS; do a
hardware check (you'll need sighted help), if all else fails reinstall
the OS, and if not you've a hardware problem that you really need to get
sorted.

I also confirm that if I run windows under VM, my Mac gets hot and the fan
runs. However, if I only run the Mac then I have a cool Mac. I have the 13

Hot is a relative term. I still find my mbp the coolest computer overall i've
ever owned. I rarely ever notice the fan turning on, it's quiet most all of
the time. I've the late 2010 model.

Getting this app to work at first can be difficult, it puts an icon in your
status menus. Normally, you should be able to press control f8 to go to the
status menus, and arrow left and right through them. Unfortunately, the mac
currently has a bug where only apple status menus work. So, you will
Sounds like you are working on the symtoms. If you can hear the fans when the
computer gets hot then it is doing the right thing in terms of heat control.

Kimberly,
Since that post, I've figured out some of the answers. First, SMCFanControler

earlier & couldn't figure where it disappeared too, after the install. I went
back & did some more checking. Well, long stor
My Macbook Pro only gets hot when I run Windows in VMware Fusion while I am
also charging it. Once it gets so hot, speech does tend to stutter. I have 8
gigs of ram and my unit is a late 2009 Macbook Pro 13 inch. If I just run OSX,
my MPB stays as cool as can be.

Hello All,
My Macbook III Pro gets hot. I'm talk'n hot! I mean it's Saturday night in
Chicago in the Roaring 20's hot.
When it happens, the machine in general & VO in particular just don't function
so well. So, I found a program called SMCFanControler. Unfortunately, when I
