#Smc fan control mac 2.7 how to
This article, get sensor information, shows how to use ioreg to extract the fan speed information with: ioreg -c IOHWSensor | grep -B3 -A11 '"type" = "fanspeed"' However it seems that Lobotomo FC changed default minimal Mac settings and now in smc, the minimal possible rpm setting for fans is much higher. Then Ive installed smcFanControl 2.1 for MBP. So I installed Lobotomo FanControl 1.1 program. Ive started to play with setting fans speed manually on my Mac. Just so you know, the sensor this uses is the CPU Proximity temperature, which is different from the CPU PECI (overall CPU temperature) and each core's individual temperatures, that are often significantly higher than the CPU Proximity.
See Can I get the CPU temperature and fan speed from the command line in OS X? Pre-Mac OS X 10.5 SMC fan control and default Mac settings. Other tools and applications exist, including Temperature Monitor. This is a computationally expensive process, even when run for one second. Spindump requires administrator privileges and when run manually, spindump samples user and kernel stacks for every process in the system. This article, OS X: Current CPU temperature on command line, talks about the project and how to extract the fan speed: smc -k TC0D -r | sed 's/.*bytes \(.*\))/\1/' |sed 's/\(*\)/0x\1/g' | perl -ne 'chomp ($low,$high) = split(/ /) print (((hex($low)*256)+hex($high))/4/64) print "C\n" ' Apple’s auto control aims for somewhere in the middle. There are two reasons you’d want to do thisto allow your Mac to run faster but louder, or slower but quieter. The free Macs Fan Control app lets you manually control your fans. The open source project Fan Control includes a command line tool that provides fan speed information. By default, Apple runs your Mac’s fans automaticallywith no way to configure themand it ramps them up when your system gets too hot. It appears no tool, installed by default on OS X, exposes this information through the terminal. I use SMC Fan Control to kick up the fans before the system get’s too hot. This could harmful if you are doing intense work or gaming in a hot location. Apple likes their computers quite so they leave the fans off for as long as possible. Since Mac OS X 10.5, you need to use a third party piece of software to access the fan speed information. Update: This trick still works with MacOS High Sierra and Mojave 10.14+.
See the smc manual page for more options. You can use smc to get fan speed information via Terminal.app: smc -f You mention in your comments having smcFanControl installed this open source project includes the command line tool smc.
